Improved accessibility and long-term effects of clinical networks
IMPLEMENT Study
Background: As older adults constitute a growing segment of the population, multimorbidity, defined as the presence of two or more health conditions, is increasingly prevalent. Among individuals aged 65 to 84, 65% experience multimorbidity, rising to 81% for those aged 85 and older. This condition often leads to a diminished quality of life, significant disease burden, impaired health outcomes, and heightened risk of premature mortality. Current …
Managing the transition of patients with rare neuromuscular disorders from childcare to adult care
Context: The transition of patients from childcare to adult care is a crucial phase, whose ultimate objective is to ensure uninterrupted, coordinated, developmentally appropriate, psychosocially sound, and comprehensive care (Blum et al., 1993). Rare disorders have some peculiarities that pose challenges to the smooth management of transition, namely small patient population, specialized knowledge concentrated in a few expert centres, and challen…
Innovative Evaluation Methods for Integrated Care Projects
Introduction: Despite the global increase in multimorbid patients, evaluating complex interventions for multimorbid patients faces numerous challenges. These include the underrepresentation of older patients in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), a scarcity of robust economic evaluations, a lack of validated quality key performance indicators (QKPIs), insufficient analyses of healthcare system characteristics impacting multimorbidity care delive…
Economic Evaluations of Health Service Interventions Targeting Patients with Multimorbidities
This work confirmed that economic evaluations of service interventions for multimorbid patients are limited in number. This could suggest that decision-making regarding the delivery of healthcare services for multimorbid patients may not always be based on a solid evidence base. More economic analyses are needed to inform evidence-based coverage decision-making
Allocation of Users of Mental Health Services to Needs-Based Care Clusters
In Italy, despite strong community-based mental health services, needs assessment is unsatisfactory. Using the Mental Health Clustering Tool (MHCT) we adopted a multidimensional and non-diagnosis dependent approach to assign mental health services users with similar needs to groups corresponding to resources required for effective care. We tested the MHCT in nine Departments of Mental Health in four Italian regions. After a brief training, 318 pr…
From contact coverage to effective coverage of community care for patients with severe mental disorders
This study ascertained the gap between contact and effective coverage of MHC and showed that administrative data can usefully contribute to assess the effectiveness of a mental health system
Managing Chronic Conditions
The paper firstly describes the main policies developed in Italy in the last seven years; secondly, it discusses six main trends and clusters them into three strategies: demand management strategies; strategies to improve the management of comorbid and frail patients; and strategies to improve the coordination between levels of care and the patient journey; thirdly, it discusses eight trends and evolutionary trajectories which are now emerging

The strategy role of transitional care units to support Integrated Care and Personalised pathways for frail persons
The paper presents a comparative analysis of three models of transitional care units that have been set up in Italy in the last three years within the processes of Regional Healthcare Services and healthcare organisations’ reforms. The comparative analysis is worth of providing interesting insights and generalizable lessons learnt from integrated care in practice. The three cases of transitional care units belong to a similar background wherein g…
The Population health management as the road map of Italian Regional healthcare systems’ reforms for tackling chronic care
The Italian Health Ministry recently approved a national plan for tackling chronic care, which sets out the prevailing organisational models and the clinical governance guide lines for major conditions. On the top of these addresses, the plan identified the Population Health Management (PHM) approach as a road map for Regional Healthcare Services (RHS) and organizations. The PHM identifies five pillars: 1) demand analysis, segmentation and target…
The transition of patients with rare diseases between providers
Background: Rare diseases are a group of more than 6000 disorders that on the whole may affect 30 million European Union citizens. Most rare diseases are of genetic origin, are often chronic and life-threatening. Patients living with rare diseases typically receive care from many providers and move frequently within health care settings, so high-quality transitional care is especially important for them, as well as for their family caregivers. Po…

Developing a managed care network for Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive disease characterised by central nervous system lesions and subsequent neural damage. Patients have increasingly severe disability and there are no therapies for healing. Since the onset, usually between 20 and 40 years old, MS dramatically affects the quality of life (QoL) of patients and their families. Whereas literature suggests the importance of integration in MS management, …
