The purpose of this work is to describe the organization and the experience gained by the COVID Special Unit of Potenza (Basilicata Region, Italy) in the months of activity in the Covid-19 emergency. It also describes how the use of IT tools has considerably simplified the territorial management of suspected and confirmed Covid19 cases. "Home hospitalization" has become the new model of assistance for the Potenza Unit, with a significant and modern use of telemedicine, self-monitoring and home medical-nursing assistance. Creating new perspectives within a reform of the National Health System for the future territorial management of non-critical Covid-9 patients is, therefore, the key message of our work.

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to describe the organization and the experience gained by the COVID Special Unit of Potenza (Basilicata Region, Italy) in the months of activity in the Covid-19 emergency. It also describes how the use of IT tools has considerably simplified the territorial management of suspected and confirmed Covid19 cases. "Home hospitalization" has become the new model of assistance for the Potenza Unit, with a significant and modern use of telemedicine, self-monitoring and home medical-nursing assistance. Creating new perspectives within a reform of the National Health System for the future territorial management of non-critical Covid-9 patients is, therefore, the key message of our work.
