ABSTRACT
The Monitoring Registries and negotiated agreements (MEAs) established by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) exemplify a pinnacle of excellence in Italian healthcare governance, playing a pivotal role in achieving economic sustainability and ensuring judicious allocation of financial resources. Within a local territorial health company catering to a populace of around 1 million individuals in Italy, an assessment of the meticulous implementation of all negotiation procedures was carried out by scrutinizing the monitoring records. This examination served to pinpoint and address potential issues in the platform management executed by healthcare professionals, including physicians and pharmacists. Such issues had the potential to result in economic setbacks owing to the non-reimbursement from pharmaceutical companies. Through diligent verification undertaken by the pharmacists, a financial recovery amounting to approximately 579,443.4 for the fiscal year 2022 was achieved. The essence of this analysis is to underscore how collaborative, multidisciplinary efforts between physicians and pharmacists yield tangible economic advantages. This collaborative approach ensures a streamlined healthcare system characterized by efficiency, devoid of unnecessary expenditures, and marked by the highest standards of care appropriateness, ultimately serving the best interests of the citizens.
