WP 30 | 12 Evaluation of the economic and financial sustainability of the system of care services for non-self-sufficient elderly people: The case of the Province of Trento
The Autonomous Province of Trento has long since started the process of reorganizing the Public Personal Services Companies (A.P.S.P.), with the introduction of two fundamental new elements: the possibility for the structures to extend the services provided; the adoption of a corporate model.
The changes have led to a strong responsibility for achieving economic balance in the budget, forcing the A.P.S.P. to careful management of the revenue-cost balance.
This work aims to provide a first assessment of the economic and financial sustainability of the Trentino healthcare service system, with the main objective of identifying the drivers of profitability, both by examining the role and relevance of the new services that can be provided in terms of additional revenues, and by examining the characteristics of the different cost structures and the related methods of managing them.
