Abstract:
In order to identify and describe the organisation of specialist hospitals' technical services and activities for patients with cardiovascular disease, we applied the classification method of Barrubes et al. to their in-patients' hospitalisation period for a duration of 24 hours or more. Technical activities are defined as the state-of-the-art medicine for extremely complex diseases requiring specifically skilled attention. This simple method enabled the identification of specialist technical activities for treating patients with cardiovascular disease and to learn more about the role of the public and private providers of hospital care, roles which vary according to French geographic areas and regions.
