In Italy the medical teleassistenza is a public service decidedly underrated



The social service of medical teleassistenza is a public service that constitutes a model of efficiency and excellence of the made in Italy but that decidedly it is underrated, at least on a national level. It has emphasized the medical director of Centro Internazionale RadioMedico (C.I.R.M.), Sergio Pillon, in the course of a round table on the topic of the health and aid in sea promoted from the association "Friendly of the C.I.R.M." that one has held yesterday to Rome near the Senate of the Republic.

Pillon has evidenced as the service is hit by the curtailment of beyond 50% of the financings publics in support of a structure that work to international level from 75 years assisting the sailors in the world, workers and diportisti on ferries, cargo, private cruise ships and boats without some discrimination and has remembered that the medical teleassistenza carries out a social service with a twofold advantage: of social usefullness and protection of the health of the worker, together to a laboratory for new charitable models through a certifyd medical assistance "from remote", and of marine economic importance to in navigation, avoiding also the useless landings place and changes of route for sanitary emergencies that would involve an increase of the costs and a loss of competitiveness.

In support of this, the C.I.R.M has recently tightened partnership with Aruba Pec, a Certifyd Manager and Authority of Certification, for the certification of the digital signature and the documentation of teleassistenza that is already operating.

Pillon has remembered that the C.I.R.M is a thin structure with a paltry cost of about 750 thousand euros regarding the grindstones of the job that it above all carries out in a moment of emergency in international waters and increase of the question of transports (in Italy only travel 18 million people). In single the first three months of the 2011 they have had use of service 570 are patient, while in the 2010 they have been about 2.600 the visits from remote and certificates 20 deaths.

To the round table they have participated Marco Filippi, group leader of the PD in Commission VIII Transports of the Senate, that advance has invited technologically to realize a model of public service on this type of organization, and Luigi Grillo, member of the PdL group and president of same Commission VIII, that he has proposed to work to a audition and to think beyond a public support to a line of privatistica management for users of target aimed as the shipowners, without nothing to remove to the original inspiration of the diffused social usefullness.
