The world of chronic non-communicable diseases is progressively growing epidemiologically, requiring a significant commitment of resources, continuity of care, and strong integration between healthcare professionals and care settings. The National Recovery and Resilience Plan, in the Ministerial Decree 77 of 23/5/2022, identifies Community Homes as the privileged location for providing integrated, multidisciplinary and multiprofessional interventions, involving specialists and nursing clinics, general practitioners and district structures, utilizing all the necessary technological equipment, including digital platforms for telemedicine. In this context, cardiology is facing a complicated challenge: cardiologists must take care of patients with cardiovascular diseases who have also complex comorbidities and are required to extend their knowledge beyond the specific, sometimes super-specialistic, cardiovascular field, to avoid fragmentation, redundancy, and potential conflicts in the diagnostic-therapeutic care pathways.

Background: To facilitate the maintenance or resumption of participation in work for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), there is a need for high-quality work-focused healthcare. According to the concept of value-based healthcare, quality of care can be enhanced by understanding the outcomes that matter most to patients. However, a major challenge in assessing quality of work-focused healthcare in practice is the lack of consensus on which work-related outcomes should be measured.

Post-operative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is standard of care to evaluate for residual disease and quality of surgical repair. The residual lesion score (RLS) as defined by the pediatric heart network explored the impact of residual lesions on outcomes using discharge transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). In tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary stenosis (TOF/PS), the residual right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) gradient is one marker of quality of repair.
