Abstrakt: Aim: The Canadian Integrated and Comprehensive Care Standards for Inherited Bleeding Disorders were adopted in June 2020. In early 2023, a self-assessment of each of the 26 Canadian inherited bleeding disorder treatment centre's (IBDTCs) capacity to meet the Standards was conducted. The goal was to validate the standards by assessing appropriateness and adherence. As a result, centres can compare their own practices and capacity against those of all centres, identify barriers to adherence, identify opportunities for remedial actions and use the results locally as evidence for needed resources.
Methods: Healthcare providers (HCPs) in the 26 IBDTCs were provided with a checklist to assess adherence to each of the 66 standards of care. Centre participation was voluntary but strongly encouraged by the healthcare provider and patient associations.
Results: All 26 centres completed the self-assessments. Collectively, centres reported meeting 88.8% of the standards. Adherence to each standard ranged from 40% to 100%. Forty-one (41) of the standards were adhered to by 90% or more of the centres, 12 by 80%-89% of the centres and 13 by fewer than 80% of the centres. A report consolidating all the assessments was sent to the 26 centres.
Conclusion: None of the comments received in the self-assessment reports indicated that a given standard was irrelevant, unrealistic or unnecessary. These data are strong indicators that the standards, as written, are appropriate. The self-assessments, however, reveal alarming deficiencies in staffing levels, notably in physiotherapy, psychosocial support and data entry and data management. These constitute a barrier to comprehensive care for many centres. The findings echo similar conclusions from a previous assessment conducted in 2015.
