CONCLUSION AND

CITIZENS

RECOMMENDATIONS

Alessio Terzi


3/16

Four issues:

the general status of the rights;

the situation in the different countries; the development of a European

framework;

an unfinished empowerment of users.


4/16

The general status of the rights no single right is fully implemented andthus

respected;

the worst result concern the respect ofpatients time, free choice and access tohealth care and treatments;

mediocre behaviour of the rights to safety,

quality and innovation


5/16

As already observed in 2007

These results are connected to a

crisis of the "European Social Model"

insofar as concerns the universal right

to health care and the consequential

reduction of levels of protection.


6/16

PRES indexes IN THE COUNTRIES


7/16

The Situation in the differentcountries

The comparison of countries

highlights a decidedly broad field ofvariability, with a gap equal to around

40% separating the best situation

from the worst.This confirms that residence is still a

powerfully discriminating factor.


8/16

Development of a European framework(A common culture in growing)

a good physical accessibility of hospitals

a fair implementation of the right to privacy and

confidentiality; a good protection of the right to preventive

measures;

the spread presence of legislative indications

regarding non discrimination and personalizedcare that take into account culture and religion,gender and age;

other standards regarding safety, quality and carepersonalization present and complied in almost all

the countries


9/16

An unfinished empowerment ofusers.

Many countries, in the last years, haverecognized rights which can contribute to

the training of an empowered user butthese same rights have unsatisfactoryscores.

In general, citizens can be, in the best

situations, the main objectof the attention,but they are not yet recognized assubjects able to participate in thegovernance.


10/16

The stake - the protection of the

universality of health care systems

requires a general effort in order to

avoid that illness causes social

exclusion, with:

adequate resources and guarantees

of protection of weak people

proper supporting policies in five

ambits.


11/16

Citizens Recommendations/1

Adoption of the European Charterof Patients Rights as a common

standard and tool for the

assessment of quality andaccessibility of Health service.


12/16


Time, free choice and access tocare must be declared as a priority

in order to achieve an acceptable

Health policy in Europe.


13/16


Disparities in treatment amongEuropean citizens must be reduced.The implementation of the EuropeanDirective on cross-border care must be

supported through the spread of sharedquality, information and safetystandards.


14/16


The development and the training of

empowered users must go on, as a contrastwith the crisis of the social model, by:

promoting active citizenship all over

Europe;

implementing the right to information;

spreading the patient centred care.


15/16


Local communities must be in

conditions of freely make use of theirown resources, in the framework of

subsidiarity, with adequate and certain

flows of financial resources as well as

with actions for the support and training

of local leadership.
