Study and research activities in the field of analysis of the evaluation of the efficiency and effectiveness of regional health systems

The collaboration has led to the initiation of two new jointly agreed lines of research: on the one hand, an evaluation of the link between voluntary hospital abandonment, understood as a patient dissatisfaction index, and outcomes. On the other, a comparison between the use of resources in the Lombardy Region and in the Tuscany Region for the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction has been developed. It is therefore intended to test the use of Lombardy CREG coding, first on Tuscan citizens, and then evaluate the possibility of extending this method of identification of chronic patients to the Regions of the Network that will be interested. In addition, the objective of the collaboration is to develop an analysis of the care pathways of chronic patients by applying systems of identification of the relationship between hospitals and general practitioners.
