The Health Area of Ibiza and Formentera(ASEF) has been recognized in eight categories during the Gala de la Salut, an event that celebrates innovation and commitment in healthcare. The award-winning projects address areas such as Mental Health, Humanization and Health Promotion, with proposals that are already in operation and have been valued for their contribution to health care in the Pitiusas.
The projects
In the Mental Health category, one of the awards went to the project “Unidad Especializada en Procesos de Incapacidad Temporal en Psiquiatría Menor”, headed by the team of the Psychiatry Service of the Hospital Can Misses and ASEF Primary Care. This initiative creates a specialized unit to preventively address certain mental health processes, a resource that aims at the emotional well-being of patients. Another award in the same category went to the “Mediation and Healthy Coexistence” project, presented by Sara Santacruz and Arantxa López López López, which promotes healthy coexistence within the work environment in the Health Area. In addition, the consultation for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in adults, coordinated by the psychiatrist Magdalena Valverde, won another award, recognizing the importance of this service for the detection, follow-up and specialized care for adults with ASD. As for Excellence and Best Practices, the award went to the Improve and Activate your Back program, a multidisciplinary project of the Primary Care Physiotherapy area that supports patients in the care of their physical health. Likewise, the Clinical Debriefing for Emergencies project, led by nurse Daniel Ausín Fernández in the ICU, encourages reflection among professionals in emergency situations to improve the quality of interventions. The project Use of Diaries in the ICU, presented by the nurse Carlos Tur Rubio, was awarded in the category of Humanization. This proposal seeks to improve the experience of patients and family members during admission to the ICU, favoring emotional well-being through a diary. The research “Midwives and Perinatal Mental Health Care” was also recognized, addressing the role of midwives in supporting women’s mental health in the perinatal period. Finally, in the category of Health Promotion and Participation, the Young Nurses’ Consultation won an award. This space, coordinated by nurses from Ibiza and Formentera in educational centers, allows young people to raise questions about their physical and emotional health in a confidential environment. These awards reflect the efforts of the Health Area of Ibiza and Formentera in different areas of health care, standing out for its innovative approach and the quality of its projects in the Pitiusas.
