Ente Ecclesiastico Ospedale Regionale Miulli

What Ente Ecclesiastico Ospedale Regionale Miulli does

Ente Ecclesiastico Ospedale Regionale Miulli is a non-profit ecclesiastical regional general hospital located in Acquaviva delle Fonti, Puglia, Italy. Originally founded in 1158 as the "Ospedale dei soldati" and named after avvocato Francesco Miulli (1712), it has been continuously administered by the Catholic Church and is legally owned and governed by the Diocese of Altamura, Gravina and Acquaviva delle Fonti. The institution operates under a Decree of the Italian Ministry of the Interior (01.10.1987) recognising its ecclesiastical status under Law 222/1985, and was classified as Ospedale Generale Regionale by Decree n. 240 of the President of the Puglia Regional Council on 12 January 1973. It delivers comprehensive acute, emergency, surgical, maternal-child, and specialist healthcare to the Puglia population through the Italian National Health Service (SSN).

The hospital runs on a modern 90,000 sqm campus built in 2005, comprising a monoblocco facility with 602 beds (573 SSN-accredited plus 29 authorised), 24 operating theatres, a helipad, and conference and rehabilitation amenities. It is organised into six departments (Surgical, Emergency-Urgency, Maternal-Child, Medical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services, and Head-Neck) with more than 60 operating units. Specialised centres include the Breast Unit, COrO (Centro Orientamento Oncologico), Centro Dialisi, Hansen Disease Reference Centre (one of four in Italy), and the COI (Orthodontics and Implantology). Clinical technology spans interventional radiology (two latest-generation angiography systems performing ~1,000 exams/year), nuclear medicine (PET), robotic and minimally invasive surgery, NGS molecular diagnostics, an automated clinical pathology laboratory, ERAS perioperative protocols, and the MIT:ZERØ infection-control programme launched in 2022. The institution is an academic teaching site for Università LUM 'Giuseppe Degennaro' and has activated over 400 clinical research studies since 2000.

Revenue is generated predominantly through SSN reimbursements under DRG-based tariffs negotiated with the Puglia Region, supplemented by Intramoenia (ALPI) private professional activity, self-pay tariff services, direct billing to supplementary health funds and insurers, and minor ancillary income (parking, cafeteria, conference hall). Patient access is routed through general practitioner (MMG) referrals, the centralised booking centre (CUP), the Prenoting online portal, telephone, and in-person counters. Governance is ecclesiastical: the Bishop of the Diocese serves as Governor and exercises the functions of Direttore Generale, supported by a Direttore Sanitario, Direttore Amministrativo, and Direttore Operations. All operating surpluses are reinvested in institutional mission; there are no external equity investors. Humanitarian operations extend to Madagascar via the Miulli for Madagascar project in partnership with Associazione 'La Cometa', Suore Ospedaliere della Misericordia, ANEMON, and NutriAid.

Revenue model

1. National Health Service (SSN) Reimbursements: The majority of hospital services are delivered under Italy's National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale). The hospital is accredited with the Puglia Region SSN for 573 authorised beds. Services include inpatient admissions, day hospital, day surgery, outpatient specialist visits, emergency department (Pronto Soccorso), diagnostics, and therapeutic procedures. Revenue is generated through DRG-based tariffs and fee-for-service schedules negotiated with the regional health authority.
2. Intramoenia (ALPI) – Private Professional Activity: Medical professionals can provide paid services within the hospital outside their NHS working hours. Patients pay the full cost of these private professional services directly. This includes specialist consultations, diagnostics, and procedures performed by named physicians of the patient's choosing.
3. Self-Pay Services: Patients without NHS coverage or seeking services not covered by SSN pay out-of-pocket at published tariff rates. These include specialised diagnostics, laboratory tests, and procedures not included in the NHS benefit package.
4. Health Insurance and Supplementary Funds: The hospital has agreements with health insurance companies and supplementary health funds. Insured patients access services with direct billing to the insurer or reimbursement mechanisms through a dedicated insurance office.
5. Car parking and ancillary services: Revenue from paid parking (hourly and subscription-based), cafeteria/self-service meals, and event/conference hall rentals contributes minor ancillary income.
