The past several decades have seen a shift in patient care towards digitalisation, which has ushered in a new era of health care delivery and improved sustainability and resilience of health systems, with positive impacts on both internal and external stakeholders. This study’s aim was to understand the role of digital virtual consultations in improving internal and external stakeholders’ health, as well as wellbeing among hospital doctors. A qualitative research approach was used with semi-structured online interviews administered to hospital doctors. The interviews showed that the doctors viewed digital virtual consultations as supplementary to in-person consultations, and as tools to reduce obstacles related to distance and time. If the necessary infrastructure and technology were in place, doctors would be willing to use these options. Implementing these technologies would improve the medical profession’s flexibility on the one hand; but it might affect doctors’ work–life balance if consultations extended beyond standard working hours.

Social reporting has become a critical area of interest in healthcare systems, and it has also become increasingly important for the academic community and practitioners in recent decades. Recent studies have found the existence of a slow spread of social reporting initiatives in public hospitals and a lack of guidelines and homogeneity in social reporting documents. This study aims to contribute to the literature, offering updated evidence from Italy. Through a document analysis, we (a) assessed the trends of social reporting initiatives in the Italian public hospital sector; (b) analyzed the current forms, contents, and quality, of social reporting documents, in order to isolate common elements, differentiation and emerging trends; (c) analyzed the informational power of social reporting documents for public hospitals stakeholder. Data were extracted from the public hospital website. The results confirm the scarce dissemination and homogeneity of social reporting documents and highlight the need for non-financial reporting standardization in public hospitals. Full article

The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) used to be seen as a social obligation of businesses to make decisions and take responsible action in accordance with the goals and values of the society. The concept is today understood as the continuing commitment by businesses to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as the local community and society at large. This study aimed to apply Chowdhury and co-authors’ framework to the Unilever Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Content Index 2020 to explore the feasibility of the framework as well as identify potential challenges related to its use in the field of public health. Findings show that the framework is suitable for analysing CSR reporting on activities aimed to promote internal and external stakeholders’ health and wellbeing from a public health perspective. A greater number of GRI disclosures reported by Unilever related to external stakeholders’ health and wellbeing than to activities impacting internal stakeholders. Further research should aim at testing the framework in other types of business organizations across other types of industries. Full article
