Healthcare Quality Description

In this area of Veneto, the local health authority exhibits a strong performance in healthcare provision, particularly in fast treatment of bone fractures and minimally invasive breast cancer procedures, both reaching high levels of efficiency. General healthcare indicators also reflect a favourable standing compared to national averages. However, the provision of local hospital care and critical cardiac treatments such as timely STEMI interventions and readmissions post-heart attack face challenges. While discharge timelines post-operation are commendable, opportunities for improvement exist in managing heart failure readmissions. Overall, the healthcare system offers a mix of strengths and areas requiring enhancement for comprehensive care.
