Digital update of hospitals’ technological equipment (Mission 6, Component 2, Investment 1.1)

Italy's Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for the improvement of the digitalization of healthcare in order to enhance staff productivity, improve the quality of processes, ensuring patient safety and high-quality service delivery.

The investment has three lines of intervention:

1. Modernisation of large healthcare equipment by substituting obsolete models with technological advanced ones.

2. Informatization of the processes of “Dipartimenti Emergenza e Accettazione” (DEA) 1st level and DEA 2nd level hospitals.

3. Increase in the number of beds in intensive and semi-intensive care units.

The investment is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan with EUR 2.6 billion.

The installation of a new CT scan w/128 slice, to replace outdated and similar technology, is part of this investment.

The tender procedure was centrally managed and, following the adjudication, the delegated Implementing Authority took care of the order, delivery and testing.
