Epidemiology, Care Improvement and Chronicity
- About the area
- Groups
The research area of Epidemiology, Care Improvement and Chronicity is made up of a multidisciplinary group of professionals from the Corporation (Hospital de Sabadell, Albada Sociosanitary Center, Primary Care and Sabadell Elderly).
It presents different lines of work, such as care for the chronic or fragile patient, improvement of care processes, improvement of quality of life, satisfaction, adherence to treatment, cost-effectiveness studies, effectiveness studies, study of prevalent diseases and of health problems considered a priority.
The aim of the Area is to promote and generate epidemiological information that improves the health of the population from different scientific approaches. Improve healthcare outcomes and care processes. Develop and innovate practices and organizational models that can improve care processes. All this in order to be able to respond to the reference population with quality health and social care.
The health professionals who are part of the line have published in national and international journals, participating as principal investigators or collaborating researchers in different research projects. They work actively with other institutional bodies such as the healthcare network of Manresa, Mútua de Terrassa, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, among others. Different groups participate in the Networked Biomedical Research Centers (CIBER). CIBER of Public Health and CIBER of Respiratory Diseases and with the Research Network in Health Services in Chronic Diseases (REDISSEC).
Strategic lines of the area
- Study of the impact of COVID-19 infections and other pandemics.
- Improving chronic patient care.
- Nursing assessment and care.
- Quality, safety and traceability of the patient cared for by health services.
Group A7G1 - Clinical Pharmacy Research
Accreditation level: Associated group
The clinical pharmacy research group was born from the need to give visibility to the scientific activity of the team of professionals that make up the Pharmacy Service. Ours is a cross-cutting service that supports other clinical services and this gives us broad and extensive visibility of pharmacotherapy in different population groups. In terms of research and development of projects, the pharmacy team has experience in the study of the use of different pharmacotherapeutic groups and their application in patients with diverse pathology. The transversal vision of the team allows multidisciplinary participation in studies involving different levels of care. However, our team has extensive knowledge in independent clinical trials, which provides quality in the development of protocols and planning of own studies.
The group participates in local societies such as the Catalan Society of Clinical Pharmacy (SCFC), national societies such as the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy (SEFH) and international societies such as the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists (EAHP).
Lines of research
- Pharmaceutical care in elderly and frail patients.
- Pharmaceutical Care in Chronic Patients: HIV and Multiple Sclerosis.
- Evaluation of drug use in different areas and patients.
- Clinical and pharmacological characteristics of patients with COVID.

Group A7G4 – Nursing research group
Accreditation level: Popup group
GRE 2021 01542
On November 11, 2017, the I3PT accredited, as an associated group, the Nursing Research Group (GRItauli). It is an open group that wants to incorporate all those CSPT professionals who carry out research activities. in nursing care and facilitate (through information, training and support) research. The main objective of our group is to promote quality research in nursing care at the CSPT and in a very short period of time we have achieved that in our institution the research developed by nurses acquires a new visibility.
Lines of research
- Complex interventions and innovation in care.
- Health outcomes and gender perspective.
- Care for fragile, dependent and vulnerable people.

Group A7G7 - Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Accreditation level: Associated group
The maternal-fetal medicine (MMF) recreation group is made up of a group of professionals from the Gynecology and Obstetrics Service, who specialize in MMF.
The MMF has emerged as a specific development area within Obstetrics, the purpose of which is to implement strategies for predicting, diagnosing and treating a set of conditions that affect pregnancy and endanger the health of the woman. mother, fetus or both.
In recent decades, a special interest in the fetus has arisen, which has given rise to a great advance in research in this area, sustained to a large extent by an important technological advance in imaging techniques such as ultrasound and genetic techniques , such as the study of the exome or the indirect study of free fetal DNA in maternal blood.
These advances have helped to shape a new multidisciplinary medical specialty that considers the fetus as an individual patient and in relation to its mother, establishing prophylactic treatments, direct medical therapy, ultrasound-guided interventions, open and fetoscopic surgeries.
