The progressivity of health care revenue financing in 29 countries: A comparison
Strategies and bottlenecks to tackle infodemic in public health: A scoping review
Background: The World Health Organization defines "infodemic" as the phenomenon of an uncontrolled spread of information in digital and physical environments during a disease outbreak, causing confusion and risk-taking behaviors that can harm health. The aim of this scoping review is to examine international evidence and identify strategies and bottlenecks to tackle health-related fake news. Methods: We performed a scoping review of the literatur…
Can revenue collection for public funding in health care be progressive? An assessment of 29 Countries
We develop qualitative tools to assess the progressivity of public revenue collection. • The study includes 29 high-income countries. • Three sources of revenue are examined: income, social insurance, and consumption taxes. • One key finding was that countries with more progressive income tax system used more income-based tax brackets and exhibited larger differences in marginal tax rates between the brackets. • Another key finding was that the m…

Strengthening and promoting digital health practice: Results from a Global Digital Health Partnership’s survey
Background and objective: The capacity to promote and disseminate the best evidence-based practices in terms of digital health innovations and technologies represents an important goal for countries and governments. To support the digital health maturity across countries the Global Digital Health Partnership (GDHP) was established in 2019. The mission of the GDHP is to facilitate global collaboration and knowledge-sharing in the design of digital…
Challenges facing mental health systems arising from the Covid-19 pandemic: Evidence from 14 European and North American countries
We assessed challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presented for mental health systems and the responses to these challenges in 14 countries in Europe and North America. Experts from each country filled out a structured questionnaire with closed- and open-ended questions between January and June 2021. We conducted thematic analysis to investigate the qualitative responses to open-ended questions, and we summarized the responses to closed-ended sur…
Social media and attitudes towards a Covid-19 vaccination: A systematic review of the literature
The cost-effectiveness of digital health interventions: A systematic review of the literature
Scoping review of the current landscape of AI-based applications in clinical trials
Background: Clinical trials are essential for bringing new drugs, technologies and procedures to the market and clinical practice. Considering the design and the four-phase development, only 10% of them complete the entire process, partly due to the increasing costs and complexity of clinical trials. This low completion rate has a huge negative impact in terms of population health, quality of care and health economics and sustainability. Automati…
A Process Mining Pipeline to Characterize Covid-19 Patients' Trajectories and Identify Relevant Temporal Phenotypes From EHR Data
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic involved the disruption of the processes of care and the need for immediately effective re-organizational procedures. In the context of digital health, it is of paramount importance to determine how a specific patients' population reflects into the healthcare dynamics of the hospital, to investigate how patients' sub-group/strata respond to the different care processes, in order to generate novel hypotheses reg…
Governance of academic medical centres in changing healthcare systems: An international comparison
We provide an explorative and international comparison of the governance models of academic medical centres (AMCs). These centres face significant challenges, including disruptive external pressures and enduring financial conflicts pertaining to patient treatment, research and education. Therefore, we covered 10 European countries (Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Spain) and one associated stat…
A cross-country comparison of Covid-19 containment measures and their effects on the epidemic curves
The evidence found in our research can be useful to inform policy makers' decisions when deciding to introduce or relax containment measures and their timing, both during the current pandemic or in addressing possible future health crises

Developing a Data-Driven Approach in Order to Improve the Safety and Quality of Patient Care
Objective: To improve the safety and quality of patient care in hospitals by shaping clinical pathways throughout the patient journey. Study Setting: A risk model designed for healthcare organizations in the context of the challenges arising from comorbidity and other treatment-related complexities. Study Design: The core of the model is the patient and his intra-hospital journey, which is analyzed using a data-driven approach. The structure of a…
How the Italian NHS Is Fighting Against the Covid-19 Emergency
OPINION article Front. Public Health, 08 May 2020Sec. Infectious Diseases – Surveillance, Prevention and Treatment Volume 8 - 2020 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2020.00167
Comparison of Deaths Rates for Covid-19 across Europe During the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: Europe overall suffered greatly in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic but the impact of different countries varied. Italy was in the forefront, but there too there were differences, with the Lombardy region the epicentre of the pandemic. Methods: We report Crude Mortality Rates (CMRs) from deaths reported as due to COVID-19 and, in five countries where age-specific data are available, Standardized Mortality Rates (SMRs) in the …
