Abstract
Since February 2020, the Italian National Healthcare System had to mitigate the possibility of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission to vulnerable patients. Healthcare professionals rapidly reviewed their workflow to maintain a safe and high standard treatment, but weak scientific evidences and organizational limits resulted in the adoption of heterogeneous measures. Adherence to screening protocols and follow-up programs pregnant women and oncological patients has not been always guaranteed: this scenario could evolve in an enormous number of medico-legal actions. This context, showing the weakness of the Italian law No. 24/2017, imposes an urgent reorganization of the legal framework to homogenize the judgements to “protect” healthcare professionals involved in this epochal emergency.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
