“…The statistical measures to help indicate the appropriateness of the new framework and track performance can include a wide range of possible health (eg, disability-adjusted life years, patient activation, experiences), structural/organisational (eg, adequacy of facilities), process/technological (eg, safety, the extent of the application of evidence-based care), and economic indicators (eg, cost-related), all in view of international comparisons. 13,[35][36][37] The evaluation of indicators from developmental data of an individual care plan could be attributed to case managers, epidemiologists, and health commissioners, whose expertise and global vision play a valuable role in the regular assessment of healthcare safety and quality. The ethics of the system draws on a mix of patient reported outcome and experience measures, which should therefore be included among the indicators that recalibrate the process.…”

“…23 Feasibility and effectiveness of a system of people are dynamic, and ensuring the integrity and consistency of the path of care will require surveillance (eg, workflow analysis, feasibility analysis, health technology assessment, clinical trials, budgetary evaluation), especially for what concerns long-term economic sustainability. 6,36 Nevertheless, improving communications between hospitals, intermediate care services, and primary care is the first necessary and decisive step to build a health system of excellence at sub-national, national, and global level. 41 In conclusion, the proposed scenario could take care of the patient before and after the rehabilitation period to proactively give advice on healthy living 42 to cope with the natural aging processes of the body and mind.…”

Individuals with severe cartilage degeneration of the hip or knee or collapsed vertebrae that cause spine deformities can suffer from joint and neuropathic pain in the back, disuse of the affected limb, and restriction of movements. Surgical intervention is the most widespread and successful solution to date. There is a general belief that eating healthy and staying physically and mentally active might have a preventive role against musculoskeletal disease occurrence, while instead, we are more certain of the benefits deriving from a healthy diet and exercise therapy after major orthopaedic procedures. These aspects are in fact vital components in enhanced recovery after surgery programmes. However, they are applied in hospital settings, are often centre-dependent, and lack primary and tertiary preventive efficacy since end once the patient is discharged. There is the lack of initiatives at the territorial level that ensure a continuum in the patient’s journey towards orthopaedic surgery, home transition, and a healthy and long-lasting life. The expert panel advocates the integration of an intermediate lifestyle clinic that promotes healthy eating, physical activity, and sleep hygiene. In this facility directed by professionals in enhancing recovery after surgery, patients can be referred after the surgical indication and before home discharge. Surgery is in fact a moment when individuals are more curious to do their best to heal and stay healthy, representing a timepoint and opportunity for educating patients on how lifestyle changes may optimise not only their surgical recovery but also long-term future health state.
