As envisaged by the Pnrr, the strengthening of the electronic health record has begun, a single point of access and collection of health and social-health documents for all citizens. The electronic health record is the tool through which citizens can trace and consult the history of their health life, sharing it with professionals to guarantee more effective and efficient services. With an event that took place in the Maggior Consiglio room of Palazzo Ducale, in Genoa, the objectives and obligations of the public administration and the professionals of the regional health system were illustrated: among these the creation, implementation and implementation function of a central register for digital documents and of an interoperability and services platform that allows documents to be consulted with extreme ease.
At the conference, the training activities for the three-year period 2024-2026 were also formally launched.
«It’s about it – he explains Angelo Gratarola health councilor of the Liguria Region – of a fundamental tool for the citizen who in an increasingly widespread way will have his medical history available through a single tool with digital health data and documents, with services provided by public and private providers . At the same time, it is a fundamental tool for professionals who take care of a patient, without the need for the patient to carry paper documentation with them. The medical staff, subject to the patient’s consent, has the possibility to consult, in digital format, the documentation relating to the patient’s clinical history. And access to some documents is also provided in the event of emergency hospitalization.”
«Among the objectives of the health record 2.0 – he adds Filippo Ansaldi general director of Alisa – there are those to make it an effective tool for diagnosis and treatment, to share relevant clinical documents between professionals and public and private healthcare facilities, to guarantee continuity of care; the objective is also to increase the quality and quantity of documents and clinical data present to contribute to prevention, diagnosis and personalized treatment by healthcare professionals and to create increasingly in-depth knowledge on the state of health of the population in support for the definition of health planning and government policies, and for research bodies for medical and biomedical research activities”.
«Liguria Digitale is the body that created the Health Record 2.0 – he commented Catherine Gaggero, deputy general director and public health of Liguria Digitale – The new Dossier will be a decisive innovation compared to that of 2017, a technological infrastructure capable of collecting documents and health data providing citizens with full information on their state of health and better tools for health workers to the care and health of patients. All in compliance with the evolution of national guidelines and privacy.”
