Through an interdisciplinary approach, the following pages will analyse first those structural factors crucially influencing the decision to contact a health service outside one’s residence region in order to solve one’s health conditions. We will see that many of these choices are attributable to differences – both real and perceived – in the supply of regional health services, partly as a result of some important reforms that occurred in recent decades in the National Health System. We will next discuss the phenomenon more in detail, referring particularly to the pediatric health mobility from health services within the Campania Region to those of other regions, reconstructed through both the analysis of hospital discharge records (in Italian SDO) and the testimonies of pediatricians in some regional provinces.

Abstract
Through an interdisciplinary approach, the following pages will analyse first those structural factors crucially influencing the decision to contact a health service outside one’s residence region in order to solve one’s health conditions. We will see that many of these choices are attributable to differences – both real and perceived – in the supply of regional health services, partly as a result of some important reforms that occurred in recent decades in the National Health System. We will next discuss the phenomenon more in detail, referring particularly to the pediatric health mobility from health services within the Campania Region to those of other regions, reconstructed through both the analysis of hospital discharge records (in Italian SDO) and the testimonies of pediatricians in some regional provinces.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
