The National Outcomes Program (Pne)
The National Outcomes Program (Pne) is a tool developed by Agenas to evaluate the effectiveness, appropriateness and safety of health interventions, aimed at improving the quality of care and equity of treatment in the National Health Service, regardless of the geographical area of residence, gender and citizenship of the person.
The Pne uses 195 indicators based on scientific evidence, of which:
- volumes of hospitalizations for a single institute in 12 clinical areas (cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, digestive, musculoskeletal infectious diseases, oncology, ENT, paediatrics, perinatal, respiratory, transplants, urogenital)
- clinical outcome in termini di mortalità (per esempio, la mortalità a 30 giorni dall’ammissione in ospedale per ictus ischemico o infarto miocardico acuto) e riospedalizzazione per complicanza
- timeliness (for example, surgery within 48 hours for femoral neck fracture in elderly patients)
- appropriateness the procedure (for example, cesarean section or tonsil removal)
- number of avoidable hospital admissions (due to the lack of assistance in the area)
- improper access to the emergency room (due to the lack of assistance in the area)
- long-term outcomes (one-year mortality from complications after an acute myocardial infarction or stroke)
Map the indicators
Through the tool Find the facility you can consult 55 indicators del Pne riferiti a circa la metà degli oltre 90 interventi e ricoveri ospedalieri programmabili e senza carattere di urgenza inseriti nel portale.
For each intervention, identified both among those analyzed by the Pne and among those most frequent in hospital activity, there is the number of hospitalizations per year per institution.
For some procedures the following are calculated:
- The hospital readmission within 30 days due to complication (for example, for exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
- The reoperation within 6 months (for example, for knee arthroscopy)
- The 2 year review (for example, for hip replacement surgery).

Map the indicators
Through the tool Find the facility you can consult 55 indicators of the Pne referring to half of the over 90 programmable and non-urgent hospital interventions and hospitalizations included in the portal.
For each intervention, identified both among those analyzed by the Pne and among those most frequent in hospital activity, there is the number of hospitalizations per year per institution.
For some procedures the following are calculated:
- The hospital readmission within 30 days due to complication (for example, for exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
