Less Preventive Healthcare, Fewer Specialist Consultations, and More Avoidable Hospitalisations for Individuals Treated for a Severe Mental Disorder

Gandré C., Coldefy M. (IRDES)
Issues in Health Economics (Questions d’économie de la santé), 250, September 2020

Individuals treated for mental disorders suffer premature death, whatever the cause of death. This phenomenon, a health inequality marker, raises questions about the treatment and access to somatic care for individuals living with a severe mental disorder. Quantitative analysis made through the National Health Data System (Système national des données de santé, SNDS) makes it possible to characterise their use of general somatic care on a national scale in comparison with the main beneficiaries of the French health insurance system.

Inequalities in the Risk of Onset of Psychological Distress during the Lockdown Linked to the Covid-19 Outbreak.
First Results of the COCLICO Survey Conducted between 3 and 14 April 2020

Gandré C., Coldefy M. (IRDES), in collaboration with Rochereau T. (IRDES)
Issues in Health Economics (Questions d’économie de la santé), 249, June 2020

France is undergoing an unprecedented health crisis, linked to the Covid-19 epidemic, which led to a lockdown for the entire population. Yet, this measure has certainly had an impact on people’s health, and in particular their mental health. The aim of this study is to determine the extent of psychological distress experienced by the French population during the initial phases of the lockdown, and to pinpoint the associated factors in order to identify vulnerable populations that require support. A first Internet survey was conducted between 3 and 14 April 2020.

Evaluation of Impact of Regional Pilots Healthcare Pathways of Seniors (PAERPA). Final Report

Bricard D., Or Z., Penneau A. (IRDES)
IRDES Reports (Rapports de l’Irdes), 575, November 2020
IN FRENCH

The regional pilots PAERPA (Healthcare Pathways of Seniors) were launched in 2014 in nine territories, with the objective of improving care coordination and quality of life of elderly people aged 75 and over and their caregivers. The projects aim to improve collaboration between local actors involved in health and social care for improving the quality of overall care provision, preventing loss of autonomy and reducing avoidable hospitalisations (…) This report presents the final results of the impact evaluation on the 2015-2017 data and provides an overview of the evaluation conducted by IRDES.

International Comparison of Specialist Care Organization: Innovations in Five Countries (England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, United-States).
Italy: Multidisciplinary Networks in Tuscany

Michel L., Or Z. (IRDES)
IRDES Reports (Rapports de l’Irdes), 574, Case studies series, 1-1b, July 2020

Under pressure of increasing demand for healthcare from an ageing population with multiple chronic conditions, France, as other countries, seeks to advance care coordination across primary, hospital and long-term care sectors. Specialists play an essential role in treating patients with chronic conditions, but little attention is given to their organization out of hospitals, and their role in enhancing care coordination and patient-centered care provision. In order to investigate different ways in which specialists are working out of hospital to integrate primary and social care, we carried out case studies in five countries (England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, England and United States).(…) The two case studies presented here for Italy describe the organization and functioning of multidisciplinary networks managing diabetic foot and heart failure patients in the Tuscany region.

English-French Glossary of Health Economics

This new online edition of the English-French Glossary of terms, concepts and acronyms in health economics has been reviewed and expanded by the IRDES Publications and Documentation teams. In addition to terms from specialized Anglo-Saxon journals, this edition is based on the English translations of IRDES thematic syntheses, Issues in Health Economics, and on the keywords of the MeSH thesaurus (Medline). It also includes a thematic section that classifies the translated terms according to the disciplines involved (economics, sociology, geography, etc.). The translation of French Institutions on Public Health into English is now integrated into the part: Sigles - Institutions.

The Glossary is updated regularly.
