Abstract

Problem/Goal: In GL19's "Indexing grey literature in General Practice: Family Medicine in the Era of Semantic Web," Jamoulle and colleagues (Jamoulle et al., 2018) propose the use of a relatively new terminology (3CGP) to allow for the indexing and retrieval of (GP/FM) knowledge which otherwise would be lost, or difficult to locate. Though designed to meet Cimino's (Cimino, 1998) twelve desiderata for the design of a controlled healthcare vocabulary, Jamoulle and colleagues (Jamoulle et al., 2018) acknowledge that a detailed requirement by requirement evaluation of 3CGP was not performed. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the Q-Codes component of the 3CGP terminology, in detail, with each of Cimino's twelve desiderata. Research Method/Procedure: In our work, we will focus on qualitative analysis, whereby our taxonomy, the Q-Codes, and in particular, its vocabulary satisfies a standard set of desiderata. Qualitative analysis provides a simple and yet effective way to assess the Q-Codes taxonomy's quality. We will briefly describe each of the desiderata and discuss how our taxonomy satisfies each one of them (or not). Anticipated Results of the Research: The qualitative evaluation is intended as an initial stage, which focuses on the Q-Codes taxonomy's contents, namely, its vocabulary (e.g. terms and definitions). Our aim with the qualitative evaluation is to investigate whether our proposed taxonomy, and in particular its vocabulary, satisfies a set of desiderata. This will enable us to determine whether the knowledge acquisition and (part of) the conceptualization steps of our ontology development process have been performed correctly. We consider that validating our vocabulary against a set of well-defined desiderata is paramount before evaluating other aspects of the taxonomy (such as the relations). As a set of desiderata, we chose that proposed by Cimino in his seminal study entitled "Desiderata for controlled medical vocabularies in the twenty-first century" (Cimino, 1998). These desiderata ensure that our taxonomy can be successfully deployed and exploited in actual GM/FM applications / activities, such as indexing grey literature. The desiderata define a set of (desired) characteristics that (ideally all) standard medical vocabularies should satisfy. Thus, these desiderata help in alleviating inter-operability issues, with the use of common standards ensuring the efficient integration of our taxonomy with other medical vocabularies and resources (taxonomies, ontologies). From the results of this study, improvements can be made to the Q-Codes component of, and thus, the 3CGP terminology. This, in turn, improves the ability to index the grey literature with the 3CGP terminology, providing greater access to needed information.

48. Systematic Quality Monitoring For Specialized Palliative Care Services: Development of a Minimal Set of Quality Indicators for Palliative Care Study (QPAC).

Abstract

Background: A feasibility evaluation of a comprehensive quality indicator set for palliative care identified the need for a minimal selection of these indicators to monitor quality of palliative care services with short questionnaires for the patients, caregivers, and family carers. Objectives: To develop a minimal indicator set for efficient quality assessment in palliative care. Design: A 2 round modified Research ANd Development corporation in collaboration with the University of California at Los Angeles (RAND/UCLA) expert consultation. Setting/Patients: Thirteen experts in palliative care (professionals and patient representatives). Measurements: In a home assignment, experts were asked to score 80 developed indicators for “priority” to be included in the minimal set on a scale from 0 (lowest priority) to 9 (highest priority). The second round consisted of a plenary meeting in which the minimal set was finalized. Results: Thirty-nine of the 80 indicators were discarded, while 19 were definitely selected after the home assignment, and 22 were proposed for discussion during the meeting; 12 of these survived the selection round. The final minimal indicator set for palliative care consists of 5 indicators about the physical aspects of care; 6 about the psychosocial aspects of care; 13 about information, communication, and care planning; 5 about type of care; and 2 about continuity of care. Conclusion: A minimal set of 31 indicators reflecting all the important issues in palliative care was created for palliative care services to assess the quality of their care in a quick and efficient manner. Additional topic-specific optional modules are available for more thorough assessment of specific aspects of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
