Crotone – «The integration of social services with health services is an objective we are working towards in a concrete way». It is written in a note Filly PollinziCouncilor for Social Policies of the Municipality of Crotone.
In recent weeks, in fact, the public procedure is underway to identify a Third Sector entity, also in ATS, for the co-planning and co-management of the activities of Mission 5 of the Pnrr dedicated to the so-called “protected resignation” The aim is to guarantee the personalization of services and the continuity of care outside the hospital context.
As? Pollinzi explains it: «Through the activation of services such as home care, tele-aid, meals at home and supplementary guardianship assistance, providing two types of service. The first will be aimed at users who can refer to a domicile and therefore “go back home”for example elderly people who are not self-sufficient or in frail conditions or adults with multiple chronic pathologies, with functional limitations and/or disabilities.
The second will instead be aimed at users who do not have a domicile, for example people without a fixed abode, or in conditions of housing insecurity, for whom we have foreseen the temporary inclusion in accommodation made available by theSocial territorial area of Crotone and activated on another measure of the PNRR dedicated precisely to the social housing of people in extreme poverty and without a fixed abode.
The services must be carried out in the territories of the Macroarea formed by the Social Area of Crotone and the Social Area of Cirò Marina and the overall estimated cost is approximately €330,000.00 for an audience of approximately 125 beneficiaries. Access to protected discharge will be subject to the drafting of a personalized care plan which will require the integrated intervention of hospital professionals, local specialist services, the general practitioner or paediatrician of free choice and the municipal social services.
To achieve the objectives of the project it will be essential to stipulate an operational protocol with theProvincial Health Company. Also for this purpose, in recent days, together with Dr. Alessandra Mesoraca, official responsible for the social service and Dr. Giovanna Pace, an official expert in social planning, we have started a conversation with the current Commissioner of the Provincial Health Authority Dr. Brambilla who he took advantage of the opportunity.
Activating this type of service, in addition to ensuring continuity of care in home contexts, contributes to decongest emergency rooms and hospital departments freeing up economic, professional and instrumental resources and making healthcare spending more efficient and effective starting from hospital spending”.
