Background: In Italy, the emergency medical service or pre-hospital healthcare assistance was institutionalized as a public model in 1992 with Presidential Decree No. 118 of 27/03/1992. This decree established (and still provides for) an organizational and managerial model based on provincial divisions. The resulting heterogeneity and the difficulty in planning healthcare for emergency and urgent care suggest the need to develop a new, more uniform, and higher- performing model at the national level. Objective: To promote, in an exploratory and suggestive manner, a policy advocacy/advisory approach that proposes the implementation of an evidence-based approach to be used for ordinary health planning activities and reforms for the 118 pre-hospital emergency medical service, using a mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative) approach in line with Health Technology Assessment (HTA). Methods: Identify a proposal for performance indicators and literature evidence to formulate an initial exploratory set of recommendations through the implementation of an evaluative process based on the Delphi method. Results: The Delphi Panel identified a series of 13 indicators that reached consensus among the group of interested professionals. Literature evidence highlighted a knowledge gap that needs to be further addressed and the need to implement the use of indicators to assess the performance of organizational and managerial models in pre-hospital emergency medical services. Conclusions: Process indicators, in line with the doctrines of health economics and Health Technology Assessment (HTA), provide an objective tool for measuring the performance of the healthcare system. The use of these indicators enables continuous and effective monitoring of the system's functioning, identifying critical areas that require corrective actions to develop a truly uniform and efficient national system, effectively responding to emergency health needs.
Background: In Italia il servizio di emergenza medica o soccorso sanitario extra ospedaliero nasce quale modello Pubblico istituzionalizzato nel 1992 con il D.P.R. N.118 del 27/03/1992. Tale decreto prevedeva (e prevede tutt’oggi) un modello organizzativo gestionale su base provinciale. L’eterogeneità conseguente e la difficoltà di programmazione sanitaria dell’area dell’urgenza/emergenza suggeriscono la necessità di valutare lo sviluppo di un nuovo modello uniforme a livello Nazionale e maggiormente performante. Obiettivo: promuovere in chiave suggestiva esplorativa una policy advocacy/advisory che proponga l'implementazione di un approccio evidence based da utilizzare per condurre l'attività di programmazione sanitaria ordinaria e di rirofma per il soccorso sanitario pre ospedaliero 118 secondo un approccio quali quantitativo (mixed method) secondo l'approccio HTA. Metodi: Individuare una proposta di indicatori di performance e le evidenze di letteratura per formulare una prima proposta esplorativa di raccomandazioni attraverso l’implementazione di un percorso valutativo basato sul medoto Delphi. Risultati: Il Delphi Panel ha individuato una serie di 13 indicatori che hanno raggiunto il consenso tra la platea dei professionisti interessati. Le evidenze di letteratura hanno evidenziato un gap conoscitivo da colmare ulteriormente e la necessità di implementare l’utilizzo di indicatori per valutare le performance dei modelli organizzativo gestionali del soccorso sanitario pre-ospedaliero. Conclusioni: Gli indicatori di processo, in linea con le dottrine dell’economia sanitaria e dell’Health Technology Assessment (HTA), offrono uno strumento oggettivo per misurare le performance del sistema sanitario. L’utilizzo di questi indicatori consente di monitorare in modo continuo ed efficace il funzionamento del sistema, identificando le aree critiche che necessitano di interventi correttivi per sviluppare un sistema nazionale realmente uniforme ed efficiente, rispondendo in modo efficace ai bisogni di salute in emergenza.

The resulting heterogeneity and the difficulty in planning healthcare for emergency and urgent care suggest the need to develop a new, more uniform, and higher- performing model at the national level. Objective: To promote, in an exploratory and suggestive manner, a policy advocacy/advisory approach that proposes the implementation of an evidence-based approach to be used for ordinary health planning activities and reforms for the 118 pre-hospital emergency medical service, using a mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative) approach in line with Health Technology Assessment (HTA).
