Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Lombardy, the local healthcare system demonstrates a mixed level of efficiency and quality. Hospital care is viewed more favourably compared to the broader performance metrics. Management of readmissions post-heart attack appears above average, but treatment timelines for bone fractures show room for improvement. Minimal invasive surgery in breast cancer cases and swift treatment of STEMI patients lag behind national averages. Post-operative recovery periods often extend beyond desirable durations, while heart failure readmissions are managed at a satisfactory level. Prospective residents might consider evaluating these indicators against personal healthcare priorities.
