Background:
In Italy, the utilization and the reimbursement of Growth Hormone (rGH) therapy by the National Health System (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale) are regulated by the "Note #39" included in the "Notes for the use of drugs" by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA), which are published in the Official Gazette, thus having the force of law. The "Note #39" establishes the diagnosis for which the reimbursement is granted and confirms the assignment of the national health surveillance on the use of GH therapy to the Italian National Institute of Health, requesting its computerization.
Aim:
The aim of this work was to realize a dedicated electronic Clinical Report Form based on the mandatory data requested by the Note #39 and allowing the online reporting of the rGH prescriptions by the regional accredited centers.
Results And Conclusions:
This interface is at the base of the national database of the Italian Registry of GH Treatment, which allows obtaining and managing correct and complete data to provide public health surveillance on GH therapy, both at national and local levels, necessary for policymakers decisions. In addition, this national database could be a useful instrument for improving knowledge about aspects of this treatment still under discussion.

00:54Electron Behavior
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that are attracted to an orbit around the positively-charged nucleus of an atom. They reside in locations that are associated with energy levels called shells and are further organized into sub-shells and orbitals within each shell.
Electrons Orbit the Nucleus
Electrons are found in specific locations outside of the nucleus. The shell in which an electron resides indicates the general energy level of the electron: those closer to the...
