N2  -  Summary. Gender or gender-specific medicine is a relatively new discipline that enables to pursue an innovative approach to healthcare. In Italy, it has been gaining importance from both the clinical and policy point of view. The aim of this study was to evaluate events, policy interventions and governance action plans by comparing quali-quantitative data with those of a previous review (dated 2013) so as to identify topic and quality evolution. A detailed assessment of draft laws and regional regulatory measures was undertaken. Policies related to gender medicine, other than healthcare, were also investigated to identify individuals who actively got involved in this issue, i.e. the “true innovators” as defined by Everett Rogers. This analysis provides useful information to lay the conceptual and methodological foundations for the development of national regulations that should take into consideration the wealth of research, knowledge and practice accumulated in Italy over the last decade. This will ensure that continuous and targeted attention is given to gender issues with acceptance of subsequent interventions.
