Item The functioning of the Cuban home hospitalization programme: A descriptive analysis(BMC, 2007-05-31) De Vos, Pol; Barroso, Isabel; Rodríguez, Armando; Bonet, Mariano; Van der Stuyft, PatrickBackground Over the last decades hospital at home (HaH) programmes have been set up in many, mainly European, countries. The Cuban HaH programme is not hospital driven, but the responsibility of the first line health services, and family doctors play a pivotal role.Item Uses of first line emergency services in Cuba(Elsevier, 2007-08-17) De Vos, Pol; Vanlerberghe, Veerle; Rodríguez, Armando; García, René; Bonet, Mariano; Van der Stuyft, PatrickObjectives To rationalise the use of hospital emergency units, the Cuban health system developed from 1996 onwards an extra muros first line emergency system (FLES). We analyse the use of the FLES and its determinants, in order to develop proposals to channel inappropriate users to their family doctor.
