An agreement has finally been signed between the region and Federfarma that will change the habits of citizens. Prevention will undergo a change, speed and efficiency of information systems will simplify everyone’s life.
For years the national health system as well as doctors, invite citizens to prevent oncological diseases through specialist visits and screening. Unfortunately it is not always easy to book and join the initiatives as the system is overloaded and clogged due to the high number of reservations, for computer systems that have sometimes undergone changes and therefore inconvenience but above all for the heavy bureaucratic procedures that users have to follow for bookings.
Change arrives in Lazio
In fact, the change has already taken place in the Lazio region in recent months On the regional portal it is possible to book with a click services that until a few months ago had to be booked at the cup or by telephone. You can connect with the tax code, choose the type of service and the place where the user prefers to go to perform it.
The same procedure was activated for screening, ie those tests necessary to ascertain or exclude the possibility of developing a tumor. Today, with the agreement between the region and Federfarma, all this can also be done in 1,800 pharmacies in Lazio.
An important turning point that speeds up the whole system and embraces a pool of users who, not being familiar with information technology, have in the past given up on the famous prevention. Lazio aims at screening to fight cancer.
It has always been a priority for the Lazio region to invite citizens to prevention by sending letters to male and female users of a specific age target that coincides in the case history of those who could develop the disease, about 1.9 have been sent in the last year millions of letters but the adhesions were 50%.
Despite the communication from the region, only half joined. The reasons can be linked both to the fear of discovering something malicious and because the invitation must follow that bureaucratic process often exhausting. Having streamlined the procedure means a greater number of users who are approaching screening and therefore prevention.
Here are the screenings bookable with a click
Breast, cervical and colorectal cancers will be the screenings that can be booked with a click from the comfort of your home or pharmacy, thus counteracting the bureaucracy that is a cancer of the health system. The online booking system is called “Book smart” available on the regional portal, for access, just a few clicks and have the tax code, (Stp or Eni code) and the health card.
Same documents if you want to book it at the pharmacy. We aim at simplification for all in order to eliminate all obstacles for prevention paths, there must be accessibility for all, he declared Nicola Zingaretti, even in small neighborhoods and villages without major health services. Pharmacies have adhered with conviction to this agreement proposed by the Lazio region to be present and help in the area.
