Download or read book Cross border Health Care in the European Union written by Matthias Wismar and published by Observatory Studies. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-border health care has become a much more prominent phenomenon in the European Union. When in need of medical treatment, patients increasingly act as informed consumers who claim the right to choose their own providers, including those beyond borders. This book explores such trends and also looks at the legal framework for cross-border care as well as examining some of the uncertainties surrounding it. After the adoption of the Directive on the application of patient rights in cross-border care, Member States will now have to start implementing these provisions. One of the challenges will be to see how various national practices related to access, benefits and tariffs, quality and safety, patient rights, cooperation etc. will be affected by these new rules. The information and analysis presented in the study can be of considerable use to policy-makers and those with an interest in key aspects of cross-border health care to accompany or follow this process.

This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume raccoglie gli interventi tenuti da studiosi provenienti da diversi Paesi dell’Unione Europea in occasione del convegno tenutosi a Roma il 23 maggio 2019, presso l’Università degli Studi Roma Tre, avente per tema le problematiche dell’assistenza sanitaria transfrontaliera, con particolare riferimento ai suoi profili evolutivi. L’approfondimento delle articolate modalità, adottate dagli Stati membri, per l’attuazione della Direttiva Ue 24/2011, ha offerto utili spunti e contributi per la definizione di un contesto tendenzialmente unitario che abbia ad oggetto l’effettiva tutela della salute delle persone in ogni porzione del territorio dell’Unione. Le tesi, le argomentazioni, nonché l’indicazione delle criticità contenute nei diversi interventi appaiono di stringente attualità alla luce della drammatica pandemia che ha investito l’Europa e il mondo intero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines why hospitals collaborate with each other and with other health care actors across borders in Europe. Cross-border hospital collaboration is not a new phenomenon but began to receive increased attention in the first decade of the 21st century in the context of European debates on patient mobility, the impact of European Union (EU) integration on national health systems and the particular situation of border regions. In this context, the role of health care providers stands out: while physically anchored in the health system that funds and regulates them, hospitals in border regions often witness or initiate cross-border movements of patients and health professionals.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The right of patients from EU Member States to travel to another Member State to receive healthcare is a principle that has been confirmed on a number of occasions over the last ten years by the European Court of Justice, but uncertainty remains over how that right should function in practice. In an attempt to provide some clarity, the Commission published its proposal for a Directive on the application of patients' rights in cross-border healthcare.
Download or read book Health Care Provision and Patient Mobility written by Rosella Levaggi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient mobility across Europe is markedly increasing and new generations will actively ask to be treated by the health-care system that best meets their needs. At a political level, the EU issued the EU Directive no. 24/2011/CE of 9th March 2011 concerning the application of patients’ rights in cross-border health care and has contributed to improving the level of freedom of choice for the European citizen, but it does not seem to have increased actual patient mobility across Europe. Freedom to choose is necessary to grant the people of Europe the same access to public-sector health-care services. The latter is a key instrument for an efficiently functioning “single market” ensuring real mobility within the EU. The aim of this book is to study the current European health care market and discuss the hypothesis of a European right of citizenship with reference to health-care services. It examines patients' mobility from several perspectives: determinants of patient mobility, governance of cross-border mobility at EU level as concerns patients and health-care professionals, policy implications, and case studies. It is intended for health researchers, decision-makers and professionals concerned with health-care provision and patient mobility. The goal is to provide, through scientific and methodological rigor, new informative tools useful for the implementation of new policies in the health-care sector in order to implement effective health-care integration in the European Union.

Download or read book EU Actions for Cross border Healthcare written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2011 Cross‐border Healthcare Directive seeks to ensure EU patients’ rights to access safe and high‐quality healthcare, including across national borders within the EU. These rights are also intended to facilitate closer cooperation between Member States on eHealth and the treatment of rare diseases. We concluded that although EU actions in cross-border healthcare enhance Member States’ collaboration, the benefits for patients were limited. We found that despite the progress made on providing EU citizens with information on cross-border healthcare, in some areas this information remains difficult to access. We identified weaknesses in the Commission’s strategic planning and project management. We make recommendations focusing on the Commission’s support for national contact points, the deployment of cross-border exchanges of health data, and EU’s actions in the field of rare diseases.
Download or read book Easing Legal and Administrative Obstacles in EU Border Regions written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Union (EU) legislation gives EU citizens the right to receive healthcare services in all EU Member States, as well as the right to work in a different EU Member State. This is particularly important in order to ensure the health and well-being of EU citizens and to offer healthcare workers the opportunity to relocate where labour market needs exist. According to the available data, the mobility of patients and healthcare professionals across EU borders is quite low. However, studies show a strong willingness of healthcare personnel to work in a different Member States and of patients to access services in other countries. Multiple and interrelating factors contribute to the low mobility levels of patients, including: differences in the organisation and delivery of health services; differences in reimbursement procedures; tensions between healthcare authorities on the reimbursement of treatments; lack of information concerning the services available abroad; and lengthy procedures for the authorisation of services or their reimbursement. With regards to healthcare professionals, the main factors are differences in qualifications and job titles, and in some cases lengthy recognition of qualifications. Access to cross-border healthcare is particularly important for citizens living in cross-border regions, where access to healthcare in the neighbour country might be the best option in terms of proximity of care, access to healthcare services lacking the home country or to better quality services. Similarly, healthcare professionals can have access to more job opportunities and in some cases better working conditions; most importantly they can respond to the labour market needs of the neighbouring country. The case of the Torne Valley (or Tornio-Haparanda Region), situated in the Northern part of Finland and Sweden, is used to illustrate the obstacles of different healthcare systems in cross-border context. The Torne Valley region is characterised by a long history of cooperation, also in healthcare. However, some obstacles persist to cross-border mobility, both in terms of access to healthcare for patients and the mobility of health professionals. Differences in coverage and reimbursement of services, imbalances in the mobility of patients and professionals, lack of skilled personnel in some areas, difficulties in the use of IT and telemedicine; difficulties in sharing information between health centres and inadequate IT infrastructures are some of the issues that the case of the Torne Valley highlights. Some of these problems have been the object of cooperation and have been partly solved while others persist and will need further interventions and initiatives to be effectively addressed. The impact of these obstacles is not easily quantifiable, however, three main issues are worth noting: potential shortages and mismatches in the healthcare labour market; missed opportunities for increasing healthcare quality and healthcare delivery efficiency. These are highlighted in the report.
Download or read book Quality Assurance in the Era of Individualized Medicine written by Moumtzoglou, Anastasius S. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a significant deficiency among contemporary medicine practices reflected by experts making medical decisions for a large proportion of the population for which no or minimal data exists. Fortunately, our capacity to procure and apply such information is rapidly rising. As medicine becomes more individualized, the implementation of health IT and data interoperability become essential components to delivering quality healthcare. Quality Assurance in the Era of Individualized Medicine is a collection of innovative research on the methods and utilization of digital readouts to fashion an individualized therapy instead of a mass-population-directed strategy. While highlighting topics including assistive technologies, patient management, and clinical practices, this book is ideally designed for health professionals, doctors, nurses, hospital management, medical administrators, IT specialists, data scientists, researchers, academicians, and students.
Download or read book EU Health Systems and Distributive Justice written by Danielle Da Costa Leite Borges and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU Health Systems and Distributive Justice uses theories of distributive justice to examine tensions created by the application of the Internal Market rules to the provision of health care services within the European Union. Using the concepts and principles embedded in the theories of egalitarianism and libertarianism, this book analyses the impact of the Internal Market rules on common values and principles shared by European health systems, such as universality, accessibility, equity and solidarity. This analysis is conducted using the specific issue of cross-border health care. This book makes innovative contributions to the study of the relationship between EU health systems and the Internal Market – it encompasses the analysis of all principles recognised by EU institutions as guiding principles of European health systems; it integrates human rights law and practice into the discussion of the EU Court of Justice’s approach to patient mobility cases; and it assesses the potential impact of the Internal Market over EU health systems through the lens of distributive justice, looking at the underlying principles of these systems that are mostly concerned with social justice. Ultimately, this is not a book on EU law and health care, but it is a book on distributive justice, health care and the principles and policies guiding European health systems.
