The Network, through the experiences gained over the years by each participating Association, is able to interact at different levels with all the structures involved in the management of cases reported.
These cases involve minors or young patients who have recently passed the age of majority.
Everything happens through a specially created software that can automate the process of internal communication, documenting all stages, and to centralize / reassign cases that require it in complexity, the need for coordination between associations, the changing nature of requirements medical.
Thanks to the efforts of Embassies, Consulates, doctors and hospitals, armed forces, local associations or Hub Guariamoli (specially set up offices abroad and managed by local associations in collaboration with Guariamoli) are collected reports of cases incurable at home ( certified by the appropriate documentation required for local hospitals).
These reports are forwarded immediately to the Network Associations through a special email, accompanied by all the preliminary medical records (DMP) necessary to carry out a proper diagnosis from Italians Hospitals (such as displays).
The association that first checks the availability of funds (directly affecting the Region responsible for the chosen hospital) and the availability to the hospital reports back taking charge of the patient, allowing other interest in the case next Associations without losing time simultaneous checks on the same patient.
Later the same association will contact all the structures in charge of the arrival of the necessary documentation and patient management (Health Department for the availability to care, region and / or other entities for the financing of humanitarian intervention, Embassies and Consulates for issuing visas for Italy, adequate reception facilities in the event of lack of own resources at the city where happens the shelter, contact with other associations for the coordinated management of transport etc.).
During hospitalization the volunteers of reference they are charged to follow the patient and carer in their daily needs, in addition to documenting the treatment process carried out by doctors and allow, through the use of cultural mediators, the parent has constantly updated on the evolution of the therapeutic process followed.
At the end of the hospitalization, the patient and the parent are welcomed free of charge at its facilities Reception, or other appropriate centers for the entire period need to convalesce, after which provides all the necessary arrangements to return home.
According to the Italian doctors, a calendar of cyclic controls compiles the computer system stores and then resubmit, at the appropriate time, in the form of re-entry warning for controls, which triggers the whole procedure again.
Then there are the "informal" contacts of the Associations to check the state of health, to wish for birthdays (that the system remembers each Association with a special warning message) or sometimes catch any anxiety for some small disease that parents, often apprehensive after the incident, report.
In this case we always consult the Italian doctor providing whatever needed to trigger the necessary dialogue with colleague abroad to take the appropriate steps.
If they manifest the need, the Association shall arrange for the patient to arrive quickly.
In this operating environment after all quite clear from the management point of view as regulated by agreements, laws, decrees and declared mode and formalized, are grafted sometimes last-minute inconveniences or emergencies of a certain size such that the Network, in coordination possibly with other available resources, is set in motion by an association controlling everything happen anyway without contravening any provision of the law, but by taking advantage of structures, including at government level Italian and foreign, which help and facilitate the handling of the case based on credibility that has marked the past operation of Guariamoli and Associations.
It is not excessive to say that without their help, we could do little by ourself in these very important cases.
