The 22 Health Professions Ordered for the Health of citizens become providers of a good Health Service and shorten the distance from the Medical Professions.
It took decades but in the end the path is over; there are now 22 health professions with relative registers and professional orders.
An epochal change for those who work in Public or Private Healthcare and for citizens because these 22 professionals work alongside Doctors with their not yet fully recognized specificities but certainly influential in the changes caused by technological progress and with their not yet recognized potential for enter fully into the mechanisms of health services because they are able to perform new functions, never performed by any profession, and therefore capable of securing a leading position in ensuring the quality and appropriateness of care for citizens.
In health services, there is more and more talk of multidisciplinarity and multi-professionalism aimed at improving performance which in fact have changed certain organizational styles of the past making room for multi-professional task forces.
We have experienced the paradox of the last decade in which our professions have had to face the very hard economic crisis, which began in a bloody way between 2007-2008, which produced cascading effects obviously affecting the National and Private Health System.
Precisely in these periods the need for professional paths more responsive to the qualitative needs of health services was accentuated, which included the achievement of a degree for the five professional areas:
- Area of Nursing and Midwifery Professions;
- Rehabilitation Area;
- Area of Technical Health Professions;
- Technical Assistance Area;
- Area of the Technical Professions of Prevention.
An improvement in the quality of assistance and technical diagnostics was contrasted at the same time by a worsening of economic conditions and with the great turning point through the Order of all the other 19 health professions in the sector, Law Lorenzin 3/2018, we have entered the full intellectual exercise of our professional skills.
Another great turning point of the last decade has occurred before our eyes with the development of a culture of health characterized by traits of conscious and informed subjectivity playing an active role in the identification and choice of practicable public or private solutions, also thanks to access directed to health information that has a very powerful tool on the internet.
In the national context of this country of progressive aging which has an important impact on the epidemiological situation, the great value of our National Health System must be recognized, which through social and economic development makes a fundamental contribution, also thanks to us, to the improvement of the condition. of life and health of citizens.
With the introduction of telemedicine and tele-assistance, all Professionals could perform additional and / or intramural services in total autonomy and in collaboration with other professionals in the multidisciplinary logic, contributing considerably to the improvement of effectiveness and efficiency of the National Health System and social assistance. integrated healthcare.
There is a need as soon as possible for a reorganization of the integration of the services of the professions, i.e. to try to jointly connect the various skills available to meet different types of patients:
- patients in poverty;
- psychiatric patients;
- non self-sufficient patients;
- minor patients;
- drug addicted patients.
There is a need to redesign the delegation law of 23 October n. 421/1992 which must provide access to managerial careers and the establishment of multidisciplinary bodies to support the guarantees of efficacy and efficiency of internal and external services at the socio-economic services for nursing, medical, diagnostic, rehabilitation and prevention personnel. integrated sanitary ware.
There is a need to review the laws of 10 August 2000 n. 251; 1 February 2006, n. 43 in which to add the 22 professionals who have had access to managerial careers and who will in fact be able to benefit from the same rights already acquired by other employees of the health management because it will be necessary to create together a widespread and extensive territorial assistance with health and socio-sanitary facilities as close as possible to citizens.
The challenge of this new millennium starts from the United Health Professions which, without a positive social impact, risk not being able to exercise their potential in the shadow of who knows what mechanisms that hold control as if it could still improve without them.
