The permanent planning measures are:
- Setting of quotas (at the Federal level):
- Maximum number of new professionals in Health Insurance system per year;
- Control access to specialty (physicians and dentists);
- Control access to private practice (physiotherapists).
- Control inflow with entrance exams for medical studies (at Communities level).
Other measures were adopted ad hoc:
- Increasing attractiveness of profession with financial mechanisms/ rewards (= revalorizing salaries);
- Organisation of medical care in group practices to increase attractiveness of profession;
- 1733 pilot project (national phone number for after-duty periods with triage of calls) to improve the use of available human resources;
- Special funds to stimulate the establishment of medical personnel in ‘under-served’ zones (Impulseofunds) consisting in financial incentives for young physicians who start a practice, and for all physicians who start a practice in under-served regions (tackling regional imbalances).
