title: [Which tools should be used to identify educational objectives? The experience of the Tuscany Region].
abstract: The tools used by the Tuscany Region to identify its training objectives show the Region's training network. Continuing education is planned, delivered, and evaluated by an "educational networking". This means that people involved in the educational process are not alone but are part of a network constituting a system, which is linked at three interconnected levels: Regional, sub-Regional (consortia of local health units linked together according to their geographical position), and "Area Aziendale". The three levels contribute to outline strategies, to bring into focus the information needs, to match them and to evaluate the effectiveness of the CME.
