Health Inequalities in Italy. Comparing regions among prevention, community health services and hospital assistance / M. Betti, C.V. De Tommaso, F. Maino. - In: SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT ISSUES. - ISSN 0147-1473. - 45:1(2023 Mar), pp. 4.61-4.76. [10.3998/sdi.3906]
Abstract:
Regions are likely to face health care and aging problems (as well as other socioeconomic challenges) by adopting different measures and strategies that may lead to further differentiation in health care provision in the long run. In the short term, the essential levels of assistance/care (livelli essenziali di assistenza [LEA]) assessment grid shows how regional performance in three areas of the health care sector (prevention, community health services, and hospital assistance) proceed at different speeds.
Contrary to expectations, the north-south divide is not the only territorial divide that exists. Strong differences exist even among regions in the north-east, north-west, and center of Italy. The results depict a four-speed ranking in LEA performance.
