Few pediatricians in ASL. The investigation Altroconsumo

is what detects the association of consumers through a survey of 40 local health authorities of 9 Italian cities. In almost all cities the number of pediatricians is insufficient: only exception Palermo and Turin. Meanwhile, over the question of access to quality with positive reviews in most cases.

Some have accepted the only pediatrician on the free area and must drive 15 kilometers to get there. And who, having found a doctor who has adequate time to their business needs, is forced to hear only the phone. Finding a pediatrician available in Italy is not always easy, as noted by a survey made by the association Altroconsumo which, for the third year, has fallen in the field by consulting the doors of 40 local health authorities where you choose withdrawal and the family doctor and pediatrician in nine cities: Milan, Turin, Naples, Rome, Genoa, Bari, Florence, Bologna and Palermo. The objective was to assess both the quality and completeness of the information provided by employees, physicians and the availability of vacancies. First, in order to properly choose a pediatrician is a list, ie a list of doctors who practice in the area of \u200b\u200bresidence of the citizen. In 26 of the 40 branches examined by Altroconsumo the list was found hanging on the wall or enclosed in a binder available for consultation. In 12 cases it was not necessary to contact the clerk for a copy or see it, with a useless waste of time in the queue. information deemed most important when choosing a pediatrician office hours are and whether a physician works by appointment only. The date of birth (and thus the length of training) may be useful information to parents. But the survey indicates that some employees do not give information on citing privacy reasons, as happened in a local health authorities in Bari, or that the list posted on the wall is out of date, as in a local health authorities in Genoa. Specifically, the survey indicates that the date of birth of the doctor was available in 5 of the 40 local health authorities are consulted (two belonging to the city of Florence, le altre a Bari, Napoli e Roma). L’orario di apertura dello studio era invece disponibile in 26 aziende sanitarie locali, risultando del tutto assente in tutte le Asl sotto esame nelle città di Firenze e Palermo. Ancora più complicato è tentare di sapere se il medico riceva solo su appuntamento o con libero accesso, soprattutto se si vive a Bari, Firenze, Napoli, Palermo o Roma. In queste città questo genere di informazione risulta essere del tutto assente. I pediatri associati appaiono fortemente radicati in realtà come quella bolognese, dove sono stati riscontrati su tutto il territorio, mancano invece del tutto a Firenze, Genova, Palermo e Roma. Palermo, in particolare, sembra essere la città offering less in terms of information, providing only Asp in its name and address of pediatricians. However, the lack of information or the lack of an adequate number of pediatricians does not automatically translate to a low approval rating from the citizens regarding access to care. For example, if the Bolognese define "critical" the availability of paediatricians, the feedback is positive, however, accessibility to services in all local health authorities examined by the investigation. In contrast, Palermo do not report problems in the choice of a pediatrician, but judged "poor" access to care. addition to Bologna, particularly positive reviews also Torino. Nel mezzo risulta essere Roma, dove i giudizi appaiono quasi ovunque accettabili, ma mai buoni. Proseguendo nell’analisi dei numeri dell’indagine, si può notare come a Milano, Napoli, Firenze e Bologna i pediatri con posti liberi siano pochissimi (vedi Tabella ) e le famiglie siano costrette ad accontentarsi di medici che non sempre soddisfano le loro esigenze. Proprio per questo motivo, secondo Altroconsumo, da queste parti si è più soliti ricorrere a un medico privato. Solo Torino e Palermo, dai dati rilevati, sembrano avere su tutto il loro territorio una buona disponibilità di posti. Perché i pediatri sono così pochi? Secondo Altroconsumo è a question of numbers: the Convention that regulates the relationship between pediatricians and local health authorities in each municipality provides that there is a pediatrician for every 600 residents aged between zero and six years. Your doctor may have treated up to 800 patients, but also much larger, between 0 and 14 years of age. In fact in a child six years - notes Altroconsumo - could also be transferred to the general practitioner. In general, however, parents prefer to leave children in care by a pediatrician until 14. "This - said Altroconsumo - creates a big management problem: the number of pediatricians is determined according to the children who have less than six years but, in practice, patients treated by a doctor there are many more. In Milan, for ensure coverage pediatric mandatory, has increased the number of patients per doctor. A buffer would have been more appropriate to increase the pediatricians. "To the problem has also occupied the Antitrust Authority, noting that the mechanism for calculating the number of pediatricians is not likely to provide an adequate service to users. The association Altroconsumo, Cittadinanzattiva together, it was therefore already turned to the Ministry of Health to request amendment of the calculation of the number of pediatricians, "Children are entitled to better service."
