“ Our ICT team focused on solving the issue at any cost , even though the tools we have are not really built for this kind of unexpected event - just like the astronauts on Apollo 13 who had to adapt what they had to survive and safely return to Earth ,” said Foracchia .
“ We had to be flexible , we had to be creative - which can be hard for us engineers who like a plan - and look for the best possible solution . I believe this is an attitude that is now embedded in our ICT team and will help with any future emergencies . I ' m very proud of how my team reacted to the pandemic ,” said Foracchia who pointed out the vaccine roll out was now easing the pressures .
The health authority is now focusing more than ever on using telemedicine and virtual consultations to treat people at home , which is vital in a region which stretches from the Apennine Mountains to the Po Valley and is largely made up of an elderly population .
Reggio Emilia Local Health Authority - IRCCS , was born from the merger between the current Ausl and the Arcispedale Santa Maria Nuova hospital in the year 2017 . The reorganisation now provides a single hospital unit , called the Santa Maria Nuova Provincial Hospital , divided into six establishments which includes an oncology research institute and hundreds of public health services :
• Archispedale S . Maria Nuova of Reggio Emilia
• S . Anna Hospital of Castelnovo ne ' Monti
• San Sebastiano Hospital in Correggio
• Guastalla Civil Hospital
• Ercole Franchini Hospital in Montecchio
• Cesare Magati Hospital in Scandiano
