Clinical Trial Summary

The objectives of the project are to evaluate the theoretical-practical knowledge acquired and the degree of satisfaction of a methodology based on theoretical-practical training in abdominal and thyroid clinical ultrasound of family doctors, in the urban area of Primary Health Care, and to evaluate the benefit obtained by patients over 60 years of age included in the program, analyzing the degree of satisfaction, resolution time of the reason for consultation and decrease in the number of referrals to the second level of care, analyzing the differences by gender.

Clinical Trial Description

The objectives of the project are to evaluate the theoretical-practical knowledge acquired and the degree of satisfaction of a methodology based on theoretical-practical training in abdominal and thyroid clinical ultrasound of family doctors, in the urban area of Primary Health Care, and to evaluate the benefit obtained by patients over 60 years of age included in the program, analyzing the degree of satisfaction, resolution time of the reason for consultation and decrease in the number of referrals to the second level of care, analyzing the differences by gender.

The expected impact is that the doctors participating in the project learn to perform abdominal and thyroid ultrasound and continue to perform them during the year that their participation in the project lasts, and independently thereafter. In addition, this will allow the reduction of interconsultations to the specialized care and emergencies of their patients whose primary care physicians perform ultrasound scans in their health center.

Its application in clinical practice will be reflected because doctors who perform ultrasound scans in their primary care centers will increase their diagnostic certainty in real consultation time on many occasions, thereby reducing interconsultations at the second level of care, and when they have to refer a patient at this level, they will do so in a more documented manner. ;
