A new EU Directive clarifying the right of patients to receive healthcare in other EU member states was adopted in March 2011.
One year on, the Danish Presidency will explore the creation of an adequate information system for the general public regarding medical prescriptions with equal access to all Member States.
This timely International Symposium will tackle challenges to the implementation of Cross-border Healthcare and its impact on patient safety and quality, health professionals’ mobility and European standards for healthcare services.
Delegates will:
- Hear about the latest developments, evidence-based experience and implementation challenges of the Cross-border Healthcare Directive
- Analyse existing challenges to reimbursement methods and prior authorisation across EU Member States and provide recommendations for cross-border collaboration and cooperation
- Discuss information challenges linked to medical products, prescriptions and how to meet patients’ expectations
- Explore existing European standards on healthcare services and mobility of healthcare professionals in Europe and define necessary conditions for improved patient mobility
- Share good practices on effective cooperation between border regions and understand how Cross-border health operates in reality
