Abstract

The Italian National Health Service (NHS) was ranked the second best in the world by the WHO in 2000 and still health improvement, equity and efficiency indicators show Italy as a top performer in healthcare. Contrary to other areas of the Italian public sector, the Italian NHS has been significantly reformed in the last 40 years and thus presents a modern system to provide universal and comprehensive coverage at affordable cost. However, demographic and epidemiologic trends challenge present arrangements. In particular, the increased share of the population with multi-morbidity, chronic conditions and limitations in their daily life activities require major changes to focus on new organizational and patients' management arrangements. Continuity and coordination of care require new healthcare institutions (e.g., nursing homes, community hospitals), ways of delivering care (e.g., home care), new professional roles (e.g., case managers) and adequate information systems that facilitate the circulation and use of information across providers. The decentralized Italian healthcare system present a number of showcases that may be valuable for other countries facing similar demographic and epidemiologic challenges.
