CEIS - Sanità 2008 Regional Health Care Report CEIS - Sanità 2008 Regional Health Care. Assessment and Perspective seven years after the costitutional reform and just on the eve of fiscal federalism CEIS - Faculty of Economics, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”. Health Communication The 6th publication of CEIS , University of Tor Vergata- Rome, is the result of a public-private partnership. This partnership flanks CEIS with organizations which believe in the necessity of supporting stakeholders of the healthecare system and offering policymakers access to knowledge. The publication and circulation of the volume to healthecare operators and experts has been made possible thanks to the financial support and commitment of : • A.N.I.A. • Boehringer Ingelheim Italia • GlaxoSmithKline Italia • J&J Medical Holding • Pfizer Italia S.r.l. • TEVA Pharma Italia S.p.A. The partners in this initiative share with CEIS Sanità the necessity to offer elements that are necessary when taking rational decisions both to the operators in the sector and to politicians; offering business administrations the necessary information to improve their programming and organizational levels; as well as offering citizens and their associations some elements for understanding the system’s performance. The Report (which has been conceived, planned and accomplished in the dual Italian/English version) collects the work carried out by CEIS Sanità researchers, and other experts in the sector. 1 Index Difference and Uniformity: where Efficiency ends and Equity begins (or vice versa). 6 1 - Financing healthcare: an overview 16 1.1 Financing healthcare in OECD countries 18 1.2 SSN funding and gross profit in Italy 23 1.3 Regional Health Services funding and gross profits 28 1.4 The allocation of healthcare resources 33 Bibliography 43 2 - The hospital care system 44 2.1 Hospitals and beds 51 2.2 Medical imaging and diagnostic equipment (MIDE) 62 2.3 Human resources 65 2.3.1 Public hospital staff 70 2.4 Acute cases healthcare 74 2.4.1 Hospitalization rates in acute cases 74 2.4.2 Average hospital stay and case-mix 85 2.4.3 Value of production 87 2.4.4 Appropriateness 93 2.4.5 Tariff policies 95 2.5 Rehabilitation healthcare 100 2.5.1 Hospitalization rates 100 2.5.2 Average hospital stay 103 2.5.3 The value of production 104 2.6 Long-term healthcare 104 2.6.1 The need 104 2.6.2 Average hospital stay 107 2.6.3 The value of production 107 2.7 Hospital in-patient care expenditure in OECD countries 108 2.8 An estimate of total in-patient hospital expenditure 111 2.9 Expenditure trends for private hospitals accredited by the National Health System 114 Focus: Organ transplantation in Italy: A regional analysis of transplant demand and supply 119 2.A.1.

Assessment and Perspective seven years after the costitutional reform and just on the eve of fiscal federalism”. The Report has been born from the work or research that CEIS has been working out for years in the field of healthcare economy, in the economical evaluation of healthcare projects and in the private/public business administrations; this research also increases an intensive post-Lau ream activity and a scientific support to private/public institutions This year too the report wishes to offer that scientific support which is necessary when taking rational decisions both to the operators in the sector and to politicians stressing the most relevant thematics for the realization of the fiscal federalism, maintaining an adequate level of solidarity within the public healthcare system. This year too the Report has been conceived, planned and accomplished in the dual Italian/English version to spread the knowledge of the Italian healthcare system to the international scientific community Luigi Paganetto Giovanni Tria Presidente CEIS Direttore CEIS Univ. di Roma Tor Vergata Univ. di Roma Tor Vergata 6 Report CEIS - Sanità 2008 Regional Health Care. Assessment and Perspective seven years after the costitutional reform and just on the eve of fiscal federalism Regional Health Care. Assessment and Perspective seven years after the costitutional reform and just on the eve of fiscal federalism.1 The CEIS Health Report is now in its sixth edition. As the Report’s editor, since the first edition, I am of course very pleased about the growing attention it is receiving; I wish to add that the nature of the Report has not changed, its purpose still being to disseminate the results of the research and survey activities carried out by CEIS in the field of health care, in a form that can be easily understood and used by both expert and layperson alike. Some changes, however, have been introduced to the structure of the index, by taking a more organic approach, which will presumably be maintained in the forthcoming editions. Accordingly, the Report addresses first of all the funding of the Italian national health service (NHS); this is followed by an overview of the key health care sectors (Hospital, A&E, Residential, Pharmaceutical, Specialist, Social & Health, Home care), which combines economic and statistical data and regulatory issues; the next section presents an analysis of the financial (and, possibly, economic) effects of the care services, and the related expenditure, but also the equity impact of the system. Finally, the last chapter is dedicated to the principal health- related “industries” (Pharmaceutics, Medical Equipment, Insurance), as a reminder that the health sector, although unquestionably “costly”, also contributes significantly to the overall economy of the country. This new approach is a result of the awareness that federalism in health care is now a fact, although this raises two issues that are best addressed in this new framework. First of all, we believe that without a mutually accepted system of fiscal federalism, the current institutional arrangements are inadequate, as they provide no ties between regional autonomy and the related financial responsibilities.

    Brown University Watson Institute | E42_Mark Blyth & David Kertzer_mixdown [MUSIC PLAYING] MARK BLYTH: Hello, and welcome to a special edition of Trending Globally. My name is Mark Blyth. Today, I'm interviewing David Kertzer. David is the former provost here at Brown University. But perhaps more importantly, he knows more about Italy than practically anybody else we can find. Given that the elections have just happened in Italy and produced yet another kind of populist shock, we thought is was a good idea to bring him in and have a chat. Good afternoon, David. DAVID KERTZER: Thanks for having me, Mark. MARK BLYTH: OK, so let's try and put this in context for people. Italy's kicked off. Now, we could talk about what's happening right now today, but to try and get some context on this, I want to take us back a little bit. This is not the first time the Italian political system-- indeed the whole Italian state-- has kind of blown up. I want to go back to 1994. That's the last time things really disintegrated. Start there, and then walk forward, so then we can talk more meaningfully about the election. So I'm going to invite you to just take us back to 1994. Tell us about what was going on-- the post-war political compact, and then [BLOWS RASPBERRY] the whole thing fell apart. DAVID KERTZER: Well, right after World War II, of course, it was a new political system-- the end of the monarchy. There is a republic. The Christian Democratic Party, very closely allied with the Catholic Church, basically dominated Italian politics for decades.
