In the first part of 2017, the most significant legislative intervention that had a decisive impact on risk management matters was undoubtedly the Gelli-Bianco Law (law 8 march 2017, n. 24), which redefined health professional liability both for doctors and health workers in general and for public or private hospitals.

A debate immediately arose among lawyers, risk managers, insurers and medical examiners: conferences, educational meetings and essays on the subject followed one another.

The different opinions on the regulation led us to dedicate Upside Risk to this topic.
