Understanding emerging patterns and dynamics through the lenses of the cyber-physical universe.

The complex interaction among contemporary techno- and socio-economic processes has set the stage for the emergence of a cyber-physical universe, the novel landscape in which agents behave and interact, and which is centered on the fundamental role played by information and computation at all levels. In this paper, we weave into a single analysis the different threads that lead to (and characterize) the cyber-physical universe and outline a map of its building blocks and the complex dynamics at work in the new environment. The resulting description is used to assess how decision-making processes should evolve in order to be able to address the opportunities and challenges of the current era of deep and extended changes.

[Continuing care: experimental project of integration from San Camillo Forlanini Hospital and Local Health Unit in Rome].

The continuity care process tip to realize a rationalization of the distance of the patient from the acute phase, to the acute phase subintensive care area and in the territorial care. In this last phase, the project proposed to implement the experimentation through the determining role of the nursing profession and health care professions. These professions will carry out the function hinge between the truth hospital worker and that territorial one.
