  THE DURATION OF EACH MEDICAL ACT

The duration of each medical act is also controlled at the Kovacs Back Units. This control is maintained by means of computer and manual mechanisms and compares the information obtained from each source.

This information allows the average time for each kind of medical intervention or act made at a Unit to be calculated. The average duration is compared among different doctors and different Units, ensuring that in all cases, the minimums set by the Foundation for each medical act are surpassed.

Additionally, this information allows for the assessment of other aspects related to the organizational efficiency of the Unit, such as the average waiting time for patients to see a doctor, which helps detect and correct any possible malfunctioning.

The Foundation also organizes periodic visits to the Units, in which other aspects are assessed directly. These visits seek to ensure, for example, that the health material used is that approved by the Kovacs Foundation for its specific use (including, for example, the kind of surgical material used for neuroreflexology interventions) or that the information provided by the Unit by means of the different mechanisms in effect coincides with that Unit's records.
