all over the world is considered to be one of the trump cards of health in the future. For the quality of care, efficiency and cost-savings that can guarantee. So much so that often in Europe, not to say in the Usa, is already a consolidated reality and continues to grow. But in Italy does not take off, if not in a few regions. E-health – and-health – by us it is still a great unfinished, almost an unknown. To the point that in the ranking of the Eu-28 Italy is a mortifying eighteenth place, on a par with Lithuania. Behind us, the entire Eastern Europe, with Poland and Bulgaria in the bottom of the standings. All the rest of Europe exceeds us. Starting from Denmark, the true realm of e-ealth in the Old Continent. That is light years ahead of Italy: 67% more.
To draw up the european ranking of the spread she e-health is I-Com, Institute for competitiveness, that today in Rome presents a report on"the Internet of things and the revolution in 5G". Report that e-ealth dedicates a specific chapter, with the impact already effective and, even more so the potential that e-health represents, both for care and for the organization, management and cost of health services.
Under the thrust of the action plan "e-Health 2012-2020" of the european Commission, the e-ealth should fulfill in the Eu by leaps and bounds. Resources and ad hoc funding permitting. The fact is that Italy, according to the ranking by The-Com, do not browse definitely among the positions of the head, on the contrary. According to the Agid (Agency for digital Italy) the electronic health record (Esf) is only operational in 7 regions: Valle d’aosta, Lombardy, Trentino, Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, Sardinia and Puglia. In Campania, Calabria and Sicily) is not yet implemented, in other regions it is starting.. Better to go with the e-prescription, electronic prescription, which yesterday Federfarma has given made of the 78% of the recipes, with Campania, Molise and Veneto to the top.
Something moves, in short. And not always the regions that limps to a form of e-health, is delayed for the set of e-ealth. But, in any case, the study of the Institute for competitiveness considers “poorly developed” telemedicine “digital solutions that allow a direct interaction between community facilities and the community.” The great absent, as well as a widespread culture in the Italian health system investments. But even the speeding up of legislation and its implementation in the field. An example: the “Pact for health” digital, got to the finish line this year, but with two years delay. And who must now find the form of practical and widespread application. With investments, however, have always gotten the short end, even with the new Budget law for the 2017 all”examination of the Room.
Yet the world goes in that direction. You think that according to a study by PwC and the"Internet of things" as a whole could save 99 billi on in healthcare costs in the Eu, adding 93 billion to the Gdp. And prolong the professional life to 11.2 million people with a chronic illness. All this while the goal of the "phase 2": the mHealth, mobile health, rapid development. With the app health that have exceeded 165mila and with a download of app for health, arrived at an altitude of 3 billion, nearly doubled in just three years. That’s why the challenge should not be caught on the fly, because the future is now.
