The analysis focuses on policies that rule the access to specialist visits and diagnostic tests, revealing significant increase in the percentage of visits within national times standards.Waiting times for first availability drastically decreased with the introduction of the Open Access model.Effective management of waiting lists is essential for timely access to healthcare services. Digital tools and proper monitoring structures are crucial in detecting anomalies and ensuring a well-functioning decision support system.
