The pediatric service is permanently moved to CAP Rambla
According to sources from the Department of Health, the El Plan Primary Care Center (CAP) will no longer have pediatric services definitively. This service will be concentrated at CAP Rambla, where it has been provisionally located for almost four years now. The transfer, which was initially supposed to be temporary while the CAP El Pla expansion works were carried out, has become a permanent change.
The Center and Falguera neighborhoods will also have to go to CAP Rambla
This change will affect families in the Center and Falguera neighborhoods, who until now went to CAP El Pla to receive pediatric care. They will now have to travel to CAP Rambla to receive this service.
Incorporation of a pediatric nurse at CAP El Pla
Despite this change, it is planned that CAP El Pla will incorporate a pediatric nurse to attend scheduled visits that do not require the presence of the doctor. In addition, CAP Rambla has added an additional pediatrician to its team. With this new addition, the center now has six paediatricians, five pediatric nurses and a general support nurse.
Benefits of the new organizational model
According to the Department of Health, this change responds to a new organizational model of pediatric care that is being implemented in Catalonia. This model allows professionals to gain in specialization and knowledge, which translates into better patient care. In addition, the concentration of the service in a single CAP offers more schedule flexibility to adapt to the needs of families and meet spontaneous demand.
Other changes to CAP El Plan
In addition to the transfer of the pediatric service, CAP El Pla has incorporated a new radiology and diagnostic imaging center since last summer. This expansion improves the facilities and services available to patients.
conclusion
The changes in the pediatric service at the El Pla Primary Care Center entail the definitive transfer of this service to the CAP Rambla. This change affects families in the Center and Falguera neighborhoods, who will have to travel to CAP Rambla to receive pediatric care. Despite this, a pediatric nurse will join CAP El Pla to attend scheduled visits and CAP Rambla has strengthened its team with an additional pediatrician. This new organizational model seeks to improve pediatric care and offer more flexibility to patients and their families. In addition, CAP El Pla has expanded its facilities with a new radiology and diagnostic imaging center.
