What matters most to the population in case of chronic conditions? Results from a discrete choice experiment in Italy
Relational continuity, care coordination, and teamwork are widely recognized as key components of quality in primary care. This study investigates population preferences regarding organizational models of primary care, with a particular focus on the roles of general practitioners, specialists, and nurses. A Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) was conducted through a nationwide online cross-sectional survey, employing a full factorial experimental de…

Co-Designing a WebApp to Promote Healthy Lifestyles and Access to Preventive Care among Adolescents in Remote Areas
Introduction: Adolescents living in remote areas face distinct challenges when accessing healthcare services and adopting healthy lifestyles (1). These challenges are exacerbated by factors such as geographic isolation, limited healthcare infrastructure, and socioeconomic disparities, which can lead to reduced access to health and well-being information and resources, making it crucial to develop targeted interventions to address the specific nee…

Women's choices of hospital for breast cancer surgery in Italy
This paper employs mixed logit regression to investigate the effects of providers characteristics on women's choice of hospital for breast surgery. Patient level data are used to model choices in Tuscany region, Italy. In particular, we focus on the effects of travel time and hospital quality indicators including quality standard (volumes of breast surgery), measurement of process (waiting times) and quality of surgical procedures. Variation in p…
The Impact of New Surgical Techniques on Geographical Unwarranted Variation
Since the 1980s, the international literature has reported variations for healthcare services, especially for elective ones. Variations are positive if they reflect patient preferences, while if they do not, they are unwarranted, and thus avoidable. Benign hysterectomy is among the most frequent elective surgical procedures in developed countries, and, in recent years, it has been increasingly delivered through minimally invasive surgical techniq…
Learning from Excellence to Improve Healthcare Services
The ability to deal with adversity and the resilience of people and groups are shown to depend positively on the tendency to nurture positivity. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate whether Learning from Excellence (LfE) can be an effective method to manage systematic health systems, when transparent disclosure and benchmarking of data are adopted in performance evaluation. This study consists of a quantitative and a qualitative phase.…
Measuring research in the big data era
BACKGROUND: In the healthcare system, Teaching Hospitals(THs) not only provide care, but also train healthcare professionals and carry out research activities. Research is a fundamental pillar of THs' mission and relevant for the healthcare system monitored by Performance Evaluation Systems. Research activities can be measured using citation index services and this paper highlights differences between two services based on bibliometrics, describe…
Managing the performance of general practitioners and specialists referral networks
High quality chronic disease management requires coordinated care across different healthcare settings, involving multidisciplinary teams of professionals, and performance evaluation systems able to measure this care. Inter-organizational performance should be measured considering the professional relationships between general practitioners (GPs) and specialists, who are usually linked through informal referral networks. The aim of this paper is …
Healthy Living and Co-Production
Co-production is an approach to designing, delivering, and evaluating public services through strict collaboration among professionals and the people using services with an equal and reciprocal relationship. Health promotion initiatives that include education services rarely use the co-production approach. Nevertheless, the value of co-production is widely recognized, although it is considered a normative good, and scarce and mixed evidence is av…
Behavioural and social sciences to enhance the efficacy of health promotion interventions
Evidence on the effectiveness of health promotion interventions is mixed, especially in terms of the magnitude of their impact and long-term adherence. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach informed by behavioural economics of developing behavioural change programmes, which is designed to educate, activate, engage and empower people by taking into consideration individual and social mechanisms. Three applied pilots and their results are pr…
Can the jointly collection of PROMs and PREMs improve integrated care? The changing process of the assessment system for the hearth failure path in Tuscany Region
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
A turnaround strategy
Reducing equity gaps by improving the performance of low-SES patients may be a crucial strategy to achieving financial sustainability in universal coverage healthcare systems. Universal healthcare systems, which aim to pursue financial sustainability and quality of care, are thus urged to develop performance management actions to improve equity. This approach should not only include the measurement and public disclosure of equity indicators but b…

Interventions addressing health inequalities in European regions
Disparities in health between social groups have been documented all over Europe. We summarize the methods and results of the Addressing Inequalities in Regions (AIR) project, which identified illustrative interventions and policies developed in European regions to reduce inequalities at the primary health care level. The first phase was a systematic review of the published literature. The second phase was a survey of European regions, collecting…
Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice in Integrated Care
For the specific category of care pathways whose geographic variation is related to a lack of Integrated Care, a comprehensive strategy to improve outcomes and reduce equity gaps by diffusing integration should be carried out
How to spread a best practice within a Regional Healthcare System? The case of diabetic foot in Tuscany
Purpose: This work aims to describe the experience carried out for the diabetic foot pathway in Tuscany in order to identify the determinants of the best performance and to share among providers how to organise patient pathway to achieve better outcomes
