[Evaluation of city-hospital management of a patient with a Picc-Line central line: patient tracer method].

Abstract

We carried out an exploratory study to evaluate the interfaces of a complex care pathway. To do this, we used the "patient tracer" methodology of the French National Authority for Health. The results show that patients are satisfied and that the care pathway is being structured. However, the quality of transmissions and traceability could be improved. There are a number of areas for improvement in order to secure care on a regional scale.
