I am a Policy Analyst at the European Policy Centre (EPC), a Brussels-based think tank. I work on EU social policies, in particular health and care policies and I have written on the digitalisation of health and care in the context of the EU Digital Single Market and on integrated care. I am also conducting research on cooperation in health, the future of work in the health sector and sustainability of EU health systems. Prior to moving to Brussels, I worked as health management consultant in a private hospital in Italy where I was involved in the analysis of the cost-effectiveness and appropriateness of health care delivery and in the implementation of the electronic health record system. I have an academic background in health management and public policies and have conducted research on the process of integration between hospital and community-based services. I also hold a Master of Science in European politics and policies from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, and a postgraduate diploma in diplomatic studies from the Italian Society for International Organisation (S.I.O.I.), Rome.
