Six Drivers to Face the XXI Century Challenges and Build the New Healthcare System: "La Salute in Movimento" Manifesto.

The aging of the population, the burden of chronic diseases, possible new pandemics are among the challenges for healthcare in the XXI century. To face them, technological innovations and the national recovery and resilience plan within the European Union can represent opportunities to implement changes and renovate the current healthcare system in Italy, in an effort to guarantee equal access to health services. Considering such scenario, a panel of Italian experts gathered in a multidisciplinary Think Tank to discuss possible design of concepts at the basis of a new healthcare system. These ideas were summarized in a manifesto with six drivers for change: vision, governance, competence, intelligence, humanity and relationship. Each driver was linked to an action to actively move toward a new healthcare system based on trust between science, citizens and institutions.

The Diagnostic and Therapeutic Programs are instruments of clinical management. The authors report on their experience with the construction of a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Program in the field of breast cancer. This is the result of collaboration between the Breast Unit, an administrative team and a computer team at the "S. Maria" Hospital in Terni. The implementation of the guidelines in the hospital setting makes it possible to systematise the clinical activities, to quantify the economic impact for each disease, and to plan any changes in the use of resources. The application of this method, moreover, makes it possible to develop a common language between medical and nursing staff which can be easily understood by the patients and to inform patients adequately with regard to the diagnostic and therapeutic program they will have to comply with for their respective conditions.

Diagnostic-therapeutic itineraries and treatment profiles are instruments of clinical management. The authors report on their experience with the experimental creation of such itineraries in thyroid nodular pathology. These are the fruit of collaboration between the management team, endocrinological surgeons, and the hospital computer staff. The drawing-up of guidelines in the hospital setting allows the systematic organisation of clinical activities to be accomplished in the health-care facility, quantifying costs for all diseases in order to be able to plan and implement changes in resources and staff utilisation. Application of the method, in addition, helps to develop a common language among hospital doctors and nurses, facilitates proper communication with patients, and ensures adequate patient information regarding the clinical itinerary the patient will have to take for his or her condition.
