Healthcare Quality Description
In this area of Emilia-Romagna, healthcare services demonstrate a high level of overall efficiency and quality compared to national standards. Emergency care post-heart attack and time-sensitive fracture treatment are conducted promptly. Elective procedures often result in shorter hospital stays. However, hospital care quality and readmission rates for heart failure highlight potential areas for improvement. While minimally invasive techniques are sometimes employed in breast cancer surgeries, there is room for enhancement. Overall, the healthcare infrastructure signifies substantial competence in most critical areas but suggests a need for development in certain specialised and local hospital care services.
