What Azienda Per La Tutela Della Salute does

ARNAS G. Brotzu is a National Relevance and High Specialization public healthcare authority (Azienda di Rilievo Nazionale ed Alta Specializzazione) operating under the Regione Autonoma della Sardegna in Italy. The institution comprises three co-located hospital facilities in Cagliari: Ospedale San Michele (a DEA Level II general acute-care hospital), Ospedale Oncologico Armando Businco (oncology), and Ospedale Pediatrico Microcitemico Antonio Cao (pediatric and thalassemia care). It delivers tertiary and quaternary services to the Sardinian population, including organ transplantation (2,168 procedures since 1988), bone marrow transplantation, oncology, nephrology and dialysis, neurology with stroke unit, transfusion medicine, cord blood banking, emergency medicine, and the Codice Rosa violence-victim pathway. Operational scale in 2025 reached 835 beds, 200,264 hospitalization days, 47,245 adult ER visits, and 20,420 pediatric ER visits.

The institution's technology stack consists of digital healthcare infrastructure rather than proprietary commercial software: a regional appointment-booking portal (CUP Web on cupweb.sardegnasalute.it), an internal pre-booking system (Prenota AOB), an online laboratory results portal (Referti Online), a real-time emergency-department wait-time display (Monitor di Pronto Soccorso), and integration with the national Electronic Health Record (Fascicolo Sanitario Elettronico). In 2026 ARNAS began digitizing clinical care pathways, transitioning chronic-disease management (e.g., obesity PDTA) from paper to digital workflows, and is participating in Italy's PNRR Mission 6: Salute program for digital health modernization.

ARNAS operates under Italy's universal National Health Service (SSN) funding model, receiving the bulk of its budget from national and regional health service allocations tied to population coverage and services delivered. A secondary revenue stream consists of patient ticket co-payments for certain outpatient services, with exemptions for vulnerable categories. The customer base is the Sardinian population as a whole, accessed through GP referrals, emergency walk-ins, and the CUP regional booking portal. The institution is government-owned and not equity-financed.
