Italian experiences to face COVID - 19

Italy was one of the first European countries to be affected by COVID-19 and much has been done at hospital level, at community care level, to cope with the pandemic.

Since 2008 the Italian National Agency for Regional Healthcare Services (AGENAS), launches an annual call to identify and collect local safety improvement experiences (http://buonepratiche.agenas.it/default.aspx). The 2020 Call for Good practice has been dedicated to the collection of experiences implemented at Regional, hospital, organization level to face COVID-19 outbreak. The aim is to share knowledge, experiences and solutions across Regions, healthcare organizations and professionals.

This section has been created in order to make the Italian experiences available at international level to all the professionals involved in the fight against SARS-COV-2. The section is dynamic, as it will be periodically updated. Contact details of the professionals involved in the practices’ implementation are provided, so as to enable exchange of knowledge and experiences.
