Pilar Álvarez, Care Director of the Don Benito-Villanueva de la Serena Health Area, highlights the strategic and care value of incorporating an innovative technology such as NESA in a regional hospital. In her testimony, she emphasizes that being pioneers in the application of a cutting-edge tool not only allows improving patient care, but also gives visibility to the role of small hospitals within the healthcare system, demonstrating that they can also lead relevant advances in clinical innovation.
As she explains, one of the main advantages of this technology is its capacity to offer non-invasive alternatives in patients who, otherwise, could depend on surgical procedures or prolonged waiting lists. From her perspective, avoiding the operating room when possible and achieving similar or even better results represents a very important benefit both for the patient and for the healthcare organization. In addition, she highlights that this tool allows freeing surgical activity for those cases in which intervention is essential.
Pilar Álvarez also emphasizes the role of nursing within this care model, pointing out that NESA can be applied by nursing professionals, which increases their competences and gives them greater prominence in treatment, while freeing physicians for other functions. For her, the future of this technology involves continuing to grow, training more professionals and expanding the number of patients who can benefit from a faster, more accessible and less invasive solution.
