The mission of ReS is to to create useful tools for planning and monitoring healthcare at different levels and for different stakeholders, based on real-world evidence from data describing the real-life practice.

ReS operates in the fields of Real World Evidence, health economy, clinical and regulatory aspects in the following strategic areas: burden of disease in terms of healthcare resource consumption and integrated healthcare direct care costs in charge of the Italian National Healthcare Service (SSN); target populations of new technologies; description of care pathways; development of statistical models of integration between administrative data and clinical data (e.g., primary care databases); development of data collection platforms useful to the research in specific healthcare areas.
