Het doel van dit actieonderzoek: De juiste interventies en implementatiestrategieën ontwikkelen om kennis over het herkennen van een dreigend AAA te delen in de keten.
De relevantie: Het totale sterftepercentage onder patiënten met een rAAA bedraagt ongeveer 80 – 90 %. Als de patiënt het vaatcentrum op tijd bereikt is de mortaliteit ongeveer 25%.
Waarom in de keten? Verbetermaatregelen die gericht zijn op individuele componenten in het systeem kunnen mogelijk niet effectief zijn en zelfs nadelig uitpakken.
