TRAPANI (ITALPRESS) – An agreement between the Trapani Provincial Health Authority and ISMETT to strengthen territorial healthcare management, putting patients at the center and focusing on training, technology and excellent care. The protocol, signed by the General Directors of the two entities, Ferdinando Croce and Angelo Luca, aims to enhance local expertise, ensure continuity of care for Trapani patients-both transplant recipients and non-transplant recipients-and increase appropriateness in the treatment of complex diseases.Thanks to the agreement, physicians and healthcare personnel from the Trapani ASP will participate in advanced training, which will include hands-on internships in ISMETT’s operating rooms to learn innovative techniques and methodologies, and high-level theoretical courses organized directly in ASP hospitals, focusing in particular on interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, thoracic surgery, and abdominal surgery. These initiatives will be flanked by multidisciplinary inter-agency meetings dedicated to integrated clinical management and treatment of complex cases, as well as the implementation of telemedicine systems for the co-management of patients with more critical conditions. “The collaboration with ISMETT,” said Ferdinando Croce, Director General of the ASP of Trapani, “starts from the assumption that the clinical and healthcare treatment of patients, both pre- and post-transplant, can and must be increasingly guaranteed within the perimeter of Trapani’s healthcare system. Hence the expansion of today’s synergy, which represents a strategic opportunity to raise the quality of hospital care for the benefit of our citizens by introducing cutting-edge technologies and specialized expertise directly to the territory, while ensuring better access to care for patients and enhancing the company’s human capital through professional growth and skill enhancement of ASP health care staff.” “We are proud to make our know-how available to the ASP of Trapani and to contribute to an ambitious project that aims to develop local expertise, reduce healthcare mobility and ensure greater economic sustainability,” said ISMETT Director and CEO of UPMC Italy, Angelo Luca.In addition to training and care, the agreement also includes close collaboration on clinical research projects, with the aim of developing increasingly advanced techniques and sharing experiences at the scientific level. Both institutions will also work on the implementation of shared diagnostic-therapeutic pathways (PDTA), with a view to high standards of quality and safety.
