From 2007 the evaluation system is available on web after registration: http://performance.sssup.it/toscana Each year MeS-Lab issues an annual Report with the performance of the Tuscan Health Authorities and delivers it to the Regional Board, the Regional Council, the management and all interested citizens.
Performance evaluation allows policy to be linked to management and to orient output results in order to achieve outcomes. Some evidences from the Performance Evaluation System (PES) adopted in the Tuscan health care system

CEO’s rewarding system added emphasis on the Tuscan PES: incentivized indicators improve 2.7 times than other PES indicators. Moreover the results
keep into account the baseline performance improve more than the
Due to this empirical evidence, in 2011 every Health Authority receives personalized target for each indicator of the Tuscan PES in order to gather the financial reward related to the overall indicator.

The Pes shows that there is large variation not only between north and south but also in each region. Variation management across and within the regions should be included in the governance system as a strategic tool at each level.

The capacity to improve in the interregional benchmarking has been
by assigning an evaluation score to the percentual variation 2008‐2009 of each indicator considering: ‐ the distance from the median of the interregional benchmarking, if the indicator has worsened ‐ the distance from the first and third tertile
the interregional benchmarking if the indicator has improved

In every quadrant in the region where it has been bossible to calculate the variability between the Health Authorities the indicators in red are the ones where the intraregional variability has increased from 2008 to 2009, in green the ones where it has decreased, in black the ones where it has not been possible to calculate the variability.

Hospitalization rates quintiles: distribution by ASL and selected surgical
Each distribution of hospitalization rate by ASL has been divided in quintiles and to each quintiles has been given a different colour:
1° quintile 2° quintile 3°quintile 4° quintile 5° quintile

49
In literature, the high variation in this field is mostly explained either by the distribution of supply which determines demand or by the services reimbursement system. Actually, in the Tuscan health care system hospitalizations are not reimbursed on the basis of the DRG system, nor are physicians reimbursed for each service delivered. However, there is still a significant variation which differs according to the surgical service considered.

Management of continuity and ongoing improvement on
51
indicators which measure the reduction of variability within the health authority relating to some elective surgical procedures:
52
Reduce High – Low ratios of HRs of selected elective surgical procedures Written Patient guidelines for each elective surgical procedure
Allowing patients to make choices more consciously: developing guidelines to help patients to orient themselves Involving health professionals to discuss their behaviour and benchmark their results
52
Including the variation dimension in the Tuscan PES is it going to work? … we hope! Avoiding unwarrented variation will be reached only if policy makers, physicians and patients collectively engage in a joint effort to reduce it. This is even truer in today’s era of rising costs, when taking actions to reduce variation may not only benefit citizens in terms of healthcare quality but also assure the economic sustainability of the whole healthcare system. Thanks!
