The economic crisis has significantly impacted health and social care sector with serious consequences on access to health<\/a> and social care for the EU citizens and patients, despite the growing numbers of people living with co-morbidities and needing complex care interventions. In this context, integrated and continuity of care are paramount digital health policy priorities and should be upscaled with an end-user co-design EU strategy\/roadmap, based on operational best practices.<\/p>\n

As the single largest and most trusted health professional group, delivering the majority of health and social care across countries and settings, nurses are uniquely positioned<\/a> to ensure effective, accessible and resilient health and social ecosystems in Europe. Their real-world experience is a vital resource to inform and support policy making at all stages: local, regional, national, EU and global level.<\/p>\n

As such, and looking at the challenges growing all over the EU, especially with regard to the economy, demography, migration and welfare, there has never been a more important time to have health policies<\/a> design shift from a disease-specific approach, towards a more holistic, continuous, and value-based system approach, to design a more people, citizen, and patient driven person-centred care system resourced with a highly qualified<\/a>, motivated and supported nursing workforce. With the right knowledge<\/a>, skills and opportunities, nurses are in a unique position to act as autonomous practitioners, and work actively towards containing and overcoming the major issues that challenge healthcare in the EU.<\/p>\n

It is therefore key to ensure nurses and nursing meet society\u2019s mandate to protect and promote the health of Europe\u2019s citizens, through the provision of safe and high-quality nursing care across settings, regions and countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
