With ERA web it is possible to create a genre specific epidemiological map portraying all 300 and more indicators found in any of its previous editions. On paper the published LHA maps number only 20. Each map allows the differentiation of the 200 LHA present in the Italian territory, by dividing then in five categories based on their relationship with the national average:
- blue and red indicate values much higher than or much lower than the national average;
- green and orange indicate values lower than and higher than the national average;
- yellow indicated LHAs whose values can be placed sufficiently close to the national average.
All maps are created on an A4 printable layout (horizontal format suggested). Read more...

ERA (Epidemiological Research Applied) has been proposing itself as a system that develops cognitive instruments based on correctly certified sanitary data, which has been analysed with rigorous statistical methods, finalized and elaborated by synthetic indicators, presented and commentated in a way that renders this information fruitful in a variety of ways and at a number of levels, to epidemiological students and anyone who works in the national and public healthcare system.
ERA has busied itself, in its previous editions of Atlas 2006 and 2007, with a critical phenomena in the ‘Sanità Pubblica’ (public healthcare system): that of avoidable or excess mortality. This problem now represents the tip of the iceberg for all public healthcare structures... Read more...

This report constitutes, after ERA 2006, the second product of a multidisciplinary, inter-institutional collaboration between the University of Tor Vergata, Istat, Instituto Superiore di Sanità, Ministero della Salute e Nebo Ricerche PA. The predisposition of Public Healthcare instruments capable of conjugating the rigorous methodologies of the project with the useful and concrete accessibility at various levels of the social structure itself, is the primary and final goal of this multi-year project.
ERA 2007 is consequentially created under the light of the most authoritarian international literature regarding excess mortality, and at the same time constructed in a simple and fruitful way, where all of its sections become accessible, even the ones considered more remote: 188 charts, each referring to a different LHA...

Unlike its previous paper versions, ERA Webs’ dashboard was thought and designed to fit each and every user’s own personal needs. Each speedometer, typical benchmark tool utilized for this project, allows an effective method for comparison, thanks to its clear and simple reference points with which to analyse the value of each indicator present in the chosen LHA.
The national average, the specific geographical region, the minimum and maximum threshold values of the fifth and ninety-fifth percentage are confirmed, in time, as a robust and immediate method for verifying any possible criticism.
ERA’s online dashboard can be personalized... Read more...
