Samenvatting

Derkx HP, Rethans JJ, Maiburg BH, Winkens RAG, Muijtjens AM, Van Rooij HG, Knottnerus JA. De kwaliteit van telefonische triage op huisartsenposten. Huisarts Wet 2009;52(7):326-31.
Doel Om de kwaliteit en veiligheid van telefonische triage op een huisartsenpost te bepalen moeten we de kwaliteit van de verschillende fasen van dit zorgproces onderzoeken. Dit betekent dat we niet alleen moeten beoordelen of de triagist het juiste urgentieniveau heeft bepaald, maar ook dat we de kwaliteit van de medisch inhoudelijke vragen en de inhoud van een zelfzorg- en vangnetadvies moeten onderzoeken.
Methode Voor de uitvoering van dit onderzoek belden twaalf telefonische simulatiepatiënten (TSP’s) in de periode april 2006 tot juli 2007 naar zeventien verschillende huisartsenposten voor zeven medische problemen. De TSP’s belden iedere huisartsenpost voor iedere casus driemaal.
Resultaten De triagisten stelden gemiddeld 21% van de verplichte vragen die in de standaarden waren vermeld. Gemiddeld 54% van alle gestelde vragen behoorde tot de categorie verplichte vragen. Niet altijd schatten de triagisten het belang van een antwoord op een vraag op de juiste wijze in. Triagisten bepaalden voor 58% van alle gesprekken de gewenste urgentie. Voor 41% was het urgentieniveau te laag en voor 1% te hoog ingeschat. De kwaliteit van de zelfzorg- en vangnetadviezen varieerde sterk per casus en was op alle huisartsenposten beperkt.
Conclusie De triagisten formuleerden meestal een zorgadvies na het stellen van een zeer beperkt aantal verplichte vragen, waardoor ze een mogelijk gezondheidsrisico voor de patiënt niet tot het minimum beperkten. Als we de kwaliteit tijdens opeenvolgende fasen van het zorgproces van telefonische triage-onderzoeken, kunnen we vaststellen in hoeverre triagisten de juiste urgentie bepalen op basis van voldoende en juist geïnterpreteerde informatie of dat het toeval daarbij een grote rol heeft gespeeld. Om de veiligheid van telefonische triage te bevorderen moeten triagisten niet alleen de juiste vragen stellen en de antwoorden correct inschatten, maar ook een volledig zelfzorg- en vangnetadvies geven.
