The purpose of this sub-investment is to enhance the electronic health record (EHR) in order to ensure its nationwide deployment.
The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) takes action to strengthen the EHR with four objectives:

1. Access: to create a homogeneous EHR throughout the country, which represents the single and exclusive point of access for patients to the services of the National Health Service;
2. Integration: to make the EHR an effective tool for diagnosis and treatment, sharing relevant clinical data between professionals and healthcare facilities (both public and private), guaranteeing continuity of care throughout the territory, being useful for the management of chronic patients, and integrating with pharmacies in the definition of the treatment plan;
3. Personalization: increase the quality and numerosity of clinical data in the EHR to contribute to the capacity for personalized diagnosis and treatment by healthcare professionals;
4. Policy: create a knowledge base on the health status of the population, which contributes to providing information to health institutions to support them in the definition and implementation of prevention, health planning and governance policies, and to research institutions for medical and biomedical research activities.

Investment 1.3.2 Strengthening technological infrastructure and tools for data collection, processing, analysis and simulation. Adoption by the Regions of 4 new national information flows

This investment aims to bring about a profound step change in the technological infrastructure underlying the delivery of care, health data analysis and predictive capacity of the Italian NHS.
The project specifically focuses on strengthening the Ministry of Health's technological infrastructure and analytical tools for monitoring essential levels of care (ELCs, i.e., the services guaranteed by the NHS throughout the country) and planning health care services that are in line with needs, the evolution of the population's demographic structure, trends and the epidemiological framework.
