The aftermath of the last economic crisis is still ongoing. Public finances are more strained than ever before, social cohesion has been seriously disrupted, and nurses working conditions are worsening<\/a> in many EU countries. Therefore, this is the time for policymakers and EU stakeholders to re-define a new path towards a new European welfare system, taking into account the nurses\u2019 voice. KMPG<\/a> organised an event<\/a> in which high-level speakers from the European Commission<\/a> and the World Bank<\/a> expressed the need to reinforcing the social dimension through education, skills and innovation, and how new digital technologies can create more inclusive and participative socio-economic systems. The European Pillar of Social Rights<\/a>, setting out a series of 20 principles<\/a>, of which access to healthcare, right to quality and inclusive education, fair wages and right to affordable long-term care services of good quality, are of utmost importance for the nursing community<\/a>, was also discussed.<\/p>\n

Crosscutting the social pillar, the EFN is a strong supporter with the digitalization of healthcare, and hence is involved in two ongoing Horizon 2020-funded projects on Electronic Health Records in the EU (InteropEHRate<\/a> and Smart4Health<\/a>). And as end-user, and discussed as at this event, the necessity of achieving real gender equality in future models of welfare is a priority, especially in co-designing end-user requirements, knowing that the nursing workforce, which is mainly composed of women, is in the frontline of gender equality<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
