Two to four short books (30,000 words, highly readable content) or notebooks on healthcare topics in Italy are published per year. The notebooks are timely scientific publications that provide an analysis of developments in the national healthcare service, with the aim to inform current dialogue and influence policy making and governance of the Italian healthcare service and European institutions. Titles are published in Italian or in English depending on the target readership and the source of the study.
