On June 29, researcher Fabrizio Pecoraro from the IRPPS Health and Society group participated in the 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐨 𝐝𝐢 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐚 (Telemedicine Conference in Pescara). The conference provided an opportunity to discuss the opportunities opened by the decree of September 28, 2023 for the innovation of the National Health Service, driven by the transition toward new technological infrastructures dedicated to both Telemedicine—the set of healthcare services that can be performed remotely through innovative technologies—and the Electronic Health Record, which enables the digital collection of a patient’s clinical history.

Pecoraro’s contribution focused specifically on the Electronic Health Record, emphasizing the need to develop a tool containing structured information that is interoperable with other health information systems. Furthermore, the Record must serve not only as a care support tool—facilitating patient management and diagnostic and treatment operations across different professionals and healthcare facilities—but also as a source of data for decision-makers and the research community for epidemiological and governance studies.
