Today, the EFN attended a webinar organised by European Regional and Local Health Authorities<\/a> (EUREGHA). This webinar was an opportunity for the EFN to get informed on the Joint Statement that is being prepared under the 2019 Thematic Network Cycle<\/a>. The Thematic Network Cycle is an initiative by the European Commission<\/a> aimed at public health stakeholders. The purpose of a Thematic Network is to produce a Joint Statement within a year, summarising the common position of a group of stakeholder organisations on one of the 6 selected public health topics<\/p>\n

The EFN has already attended events<\/a> on this topic in the past, because of its utmost importance for the nursing community. Cross-border healthcare fosters patients\u2019 rights, quality and safety as well as ensuring the continuity of patient care across countries. Nurses play a key role in fostering cross-border healthcare and healthcare innovators, and the EFN is representing them in these advancements.<\/p>\n

Finally, cross-border healthcare would also be greatly enhanced if a cross-border system of Electronic Health Records was in place. Aiming to fill this gap, the EFN is working in two EU-funded projects: Smart4Health<\/a> and InteropEHRate<\/a>. These two have slightly different approached to reach the same goal: a system for Electronic Heath Records that could be used by all EU citizens\/patients of the EU across all EU countries. The role of the EFN in these is representing the nurses as end-users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
