Article Synopsis
- The Decree of the President of the Italian Republic 14/01/1997 sets the basic requirements for both public and private healthcare facilities in Italy, focusing on their structural, technological, and organizational standards.
- Researchers conducting a project for a healthcare management course evaluated how these standards are being updated and applied across different Italian regions, particularly for hospital facilities.
- The study aims to propose updates to the national guidelines based on regional regulations and the evolving needs for hospital design, with plans for future analysis of newer healthcare functions that have emerged recently.
Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are a historical key target of influenza vaccination programs. For the 2021-2022 season, WHO considered the coadministration of a flu and a COVID-19 vaccine as acceptable and recommended it to allow for higher uptake of both vaccines. The aim of this study was to investigate demographic and occupational features of vaccinated HCWs, reasons behind flu vaccine acceptance and a possible effect of the coadministration of a COVID-19 vaccine, in order to potentially draw general conclusions on HCWs' attitude towards flu vaccination and inform further strategies for consistent improvement of vaccine acceptance.
