Disparità dei sistemi sanitari europei

Increasingly, the cost effectiveness assessment requires careful evaluation of nursing care, particularly when that assessment is applied to alternative therapeutic pathways in hospitals. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the intensity of care in the two protocols for surgical resection of the colon – recto: the traditional protocol and the fast-track protocol and the possible correlation between the complexity of care and the cost of hospitalization for the purpose an assessment of the cost-effectiveness of the two alternative protocols. All this can lead, in our view, a reinterpretation of the traditional cost-effectiveness as a function of intensive care.
