La trasparenza informativa rappresenta un elemento particolarmente importante nell’ambito della sanità pubblica.Esistono infatti importanti asimmetrie informative tra i consumatori e i fornitori di assistenza sanitaria che, nel contesto italiano, hanno spinto il legislatore a intervenire al fine di garantire un certo livello di trasparenza informativa delle strutture ospedaliere. Nonostante ciò, le istituzioni della sanità pubblica forniscono differenti livelli di informazioni.Questo studio esamina il livello di trasparenza informativa delle strutture ospedaliere italiane e analizza l’impatto di determinanti connesse all’assetto organizzativo e alla struttura di governance. I risultati dimostrano un effetto positivo della dimensione e del genere del direttore generale e un impatto negativo della complessità sul livello di trasparenza informativa delle strutture ospedaliere.
