Short description of contents:
The main features and consequences of the Italian reform are initially reviewed,
national and local level experiences and epidemiological data are then analysed in order
to highlight and disentangle the “active ingredients” of the Italian experience.
A public health attitude, with the capacity of networking good practice in service
organisation, by giving voice to successful experiences and promoting health service
research, apart from some local services, is still generally lacking. Furthermore, it is still
difficult to provide an evidence-based reply to the question: can “à l’Italienne”
community-care be exported elsewhere?
