This paper analyses, starting from some contextual data and based on specific evolutionary trends, the regional healthcare scenario, which is characterised by profound demographic changes that have direct implications for healthcare planning. The accelerated ageing of the population, together with the prevalence of chronic and degenerative diseases, which are more common among the elderly, have forced Emilia-Romagna to rethink the overall paradigm of the organisation of healthcare facilities and services at the regional level, in line with the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) or Ministerial Decree No. 77/2022, undertaking a reform aimed at enhancing and strengthening the territorial dimension of the regional health service by establishing structures and facilities to meet the needs of the communities in question.
Il presente contributo analizza, a partire da alcuni dati di contesto e sulla base di specifici trend evolutivi, lo scenario sanitario nazionale e regionale che registra un quadro demografico caratterizato da profonde trasformazioni che hanno implicazioni dirette sulla programmazione sanitaria. L’accelerato processo di invecchiamento della popolazione, unitamente alla prevalenza di patologie croniche e degenerative, più diffuse presso la popolazione anziana, hanno imposto all’Emilia- Romagna un ripensamento del paradigma complessivo dell’organizzazione delle strutture e delle prestazioni sanitarie a livello territoriale, in linea con il PNRR ovvero con il d.m. n. 77/2022 intraprendendo un’azione di riforma tesa a valorizzare e potenziare la dimensione territoriale del servizio sanitario regionale istituendo strutture e presidi per rispondere alle esigenze delle comunità di riferimento.

Abstract
This paper analyses, starting from some contextual data and based on specific evolutionary trends, the regional healthcare scenario, which is characterised by profound demographic changes that have direct implications for healthcare planning. The accelerated ageing of the population, together with the prevalence of chronic and degenerative diseases, which are more common among the elderly, have forced Emilia-Romagna to rethink the overall paradigm of the organisation of healthcare facilities and services at the regional level, in line with the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) or Ministerial Decree No. 77/2022, undertaking a reform aimed at enhancing and strengthening the territorial dimension of the regional health service by establishing structures and facilities to meet the needs of the communities in question.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
