The new face of Pontine healthcare was outlined during the conference of mayors for healthcare. In fact, on this occasion the extraordinary commissioner of the Latina ASL, Sabrina Cenciarelli, illustrated the new corporate act of the local health company. “An innovative healthcare, with an approach that looks at the state of global health” commented the first citizen of Latina, Matilde Celentano, who said she was “fully satisfied with the proposal of the new company act presented today by the extraordinary commissioner Cenciarelli”.
Celentano, in the municipal headquarters in Piazza del Popolo, presided over the work which saw the participation of 14 Pontine mayors or their delegates in attendance and 11 in connection, as well as the administrative director of the ASL, Pietro Leone, and the health director Sergio Parish. The session took place in a climate of institutional collaboration: “The mayors of the area – underlined the first citizen of Latina – appreciated the work carried out by Dr. Cenciarelli to whom, at the end of the exhibition, they asked questions, receiving timely answers ”.
“Among the innovations introduced with the proposal – declared Mayor Celentano at the end of the meeting – I cannot fail to mention the establishment of the Department of High Neuro-cardio-vascular specialties which will finally see the activation of the Cardiac Surgery Unit in Latina, which it will complete the virtuous path existing at Goretti for assistance, treatment and research dedicated to cardiovascular diseases. This means that at the Latina hospital it will finally be possible to carry out complex operations and implement minimally invasive interventions, such as replacement procedures, repair of the mitral valve or treatment of cardiac pathologies, including neoplastic ones. This completes the picture of the highest qualification functions characterizing a level II DEA, according to the indications established by national legislation”.
The mayor then highlighted another innovation contained in the proposed corporate act illustrated in the chamber today, the creation of a transmural maternal and child department, “that is, a department that integrates the hospital and the territory. The objective – he specified – is to achieve an effective clinical governance policy capable of ensuring shared care paths in the fields of prevention, diagnosis and treatment, multidisciplinary collaboration, with the guarantee of safety and continuous training”.
Furthermore, the first citizen reported a third new Department, that for the governance of the hospital network and the critical area, “designed on the basis of a holistic approach, both clinical and organisational, which considers the different phases of the treatment path . The organizational integration of the hospitals and the emergency-urgency and high intensity functions of the entire hospital network, carried out in the new organizational model, promotes the centralization function of the activities of facilitating hospitalization flows, the transitions towards the territorial settings, the planning of activities and management of operating rooms. And it is also in this context – concluded Celentano – that new figures stand out, such as that of the Toh (Hospital Operations Team), created to combat overcrowding in the emergency room, but also to take care of the patient from wherever they access, carrying out a global assessment of his needs, the choice of the most appropriate level of assistance and the transition to different settings, according to the evolution of needs, avoiding care discontinuity”.
