Le Reti Patient Centered

The article describes some achievements occurred in the Italian health care service since the adoption of some innovations into the realm of Information and Communication Technology. It is argued that the de-materialization of health care and more e-Health networks "citizen centered" can bring higher efficiency to the Italian Health Care Service - and partially this is already happening.
