The Italian healthcare system
It’s a Beveridge-like model: U n i v e r s a l , C o m p r e h e n s i v e (almost), F r e e , Financed by g e n e r a l t a x a t i o n .
It is organized in three levels:
– The n a t i o n a l level is responsible for national health planning, including general aims and annualfinancial resources and for ensuring a uniform level of services, care and assistance (LEA).
– The r e g i o n a l level has the responsibility for planning, organizing and managing its health caresystem through LHA’s activities in order to meet the needs of their population.
– The l o c a l level (Local Health Authorities): provides care through public and/or private hospitals,primary care and prevention services.

shift professionals’ attitudes towards “population medicine”. In a Beveridge healthcare system pursuing universal coverage, clinicians should not be considered responsible just for their specific departments and only for the outcomes of their patients. On the contrary, they should be involved in resources allocation decisions to foster shared responsibility <<to the population they serve, to the patients they never see, as well as to the patients who have consulted>> or that have been referred to, as “public health professionals” [Gray, 2013].

Pharmacological treatment
Diabetic patients have direct access or are sent by the GPs to the outpatient clinic.
Some organizations perform diagnostic exams directly in the outpatient, whereas in others radiologists departments have dedicated hours to exams for diabetic patients.
LHAs without cath labs send their patients to other LHAs or THs for revascularization. Dedicated hours of the cath lab to lower limbs revascularizations are not present in every organization.
Some organizations provide a dedicated “fast track” for exams, revascularization procedures and interventions. Many organizations are very flexible in timing and scheduling in order to meet urgent needs.
Communication with primary care professional is considered an aspect to be improved in almost every organization (training courses). Education to patients and caregivers is provided not only as individual education during visits, but also as group education. The level of development and implementation of Information Systems are very different among organizations
Sometimes there are problems of communication and collaboration among professionals and providers, especially in big organizations (such as THs).
The intervention is often planned and scheduled involving the diabetologists. After the intervention the diabetologists are generally informed in order to take appropriate action for follow-up treatments.

I always do my best for my patients and I thought to beon the right way. The population based perspective helped
me to have a look at the entire path of the patients. I realized that our integration with the other professionals(namely PC) has to be boosted. Moreover this analysisallowed me to have data and results that I can use to
reorganize the pathway within the hospital wall.

Categories of care variation revised
Effective Care
Refers to services that are of proven value and have no significant
tradeoffs; the benefits of the services outweigh the risks. Hence, all patients should receive them.
Supply-sensitive care
Represents services for which the supply of physicians and other
resources—such as hospital beds—strongly influences the amount of
care delivered
Preference-sensitive care
Comprises care for conditions that have more than one treatment
option, each with its own benefits and tradeoffs. For these conditions,
patients’ preferences should take into account
Effective Integrated Care
Refers to variation due to lack of integration and
communication among professionals and services
along the whole care paths.

Let’s play the patient’s music….
the positive metaphor of the “stave”
The stave, as well as the dartboard, relies on the five colour bands (from red to dark-green).
These bands are now displayed horizontally and are framed to represent the different phases
of care pathways. This view allows users to focus on strengths and weaknesses
characterizing the healthcare service delivery in the different pathway phases.
