(Finance) – “The new law on waiting lists can represent a tool of concrete utility for citizens and finally make healthcare more accessible. In particular, with the establishment of the National Platform on waiting lists at Agenas, the National Agency for Health Services, it will be possible to start a coordination between the different Regions and Autonomous Provinces, implementing that monitoring that as The Bridge Foundation we had repeatedly highlighted and urged the Institutions to do”. This is stated Rosaria Iardino, president of The Bridge Foundation, regarding the approval of the new law on waiting lists.
“Among the many critical issues that we have had the opportunity to detect for some time now – he added Little garden – there is certainly the data of the lack of homogeneity in the management of waiting lists by the Regions. A lack of homogeneity that is also reflected in the ways in which the data of the waiting lists are collected and made public, making it impossible to correctly and coherently read the existing situation. Not only that, it also becomes difficult to define a comparison between the different regional realities, with the result of precluding the possibility of coherent and efficient planning. We are, therefore, satisfied with the approval of this provision, which provides for the implementation of a model that we believe will guarantee the necessary interoperability of the data and an active and profitable comparison between the regional health systems. A method – he concluded Little Garden – which Fondazione The Bridge had already hoped for in the ‘Report on the experimentation of ex ante monitoring of services booked in institutional activities’, written in collaboration with Agenas and the Universities of Genoa and Pavia”.
