In the light of growing numbers of people living with co-morbidities and needing complex care interventions, the European Commission has become more sensitive towards the need of strengthening primary care systems. As already highlighted in the Companion Report<\/a>, a stronger role for primary care represents a prominent priority across EU Member States.<\/p>\n

The Commission has now taken a step forward with its publication of the report<\/a> “A new drive for primary care in Europe: rethinking the assessment tools and methodologies”. The report confirms that performance assessment in primary care paves the way for better health outcomes and improving the overall health ecosystem.<\/p>\n

However, to ensure that performance assessment maximises its potential, it is crucial to adopt an outcome-oriented approach<\/a> considering patients’ experience and values, the so called PREMS and PROMS.<\/p>\n

If the EU Member States aim to succeed in developing primary care, a whole system and mindset change at the policy, practice and education level is needed with a shift from intervention to prevention. There is an increasing evidence that primary care nurses contribute significantly to health outcomes, leading to patients<\/a> staying longer at home. As such, moving care to the community<\/a> fosters the added value of health as a driver of well-being, productivity and growth, particularly relevant in the political context of boosting the social economy.<\/p>\n

Nurses play already a significant role in enhancing primary care, now EU policy-makers and politicians need to translate this evidence into EU policies and funding programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
