Résumé
The issues of patient mobility have been high on the EU’s political
agenda for the last two decades. However, the adoption of the Patient
Mobility Directive, which had to be implemented by the Member States by
25 October 2013, added to the complexity of an already complex
legislative system. Thus both, the new questions raised by the new piece
of legislation and the old questions left without satisfactory answers
call for new solutions.
So particularly at a time, when the
national application of the Directive is beginning to have an impact on
border-crossing patients it is imperative to revisit patient mobility.
However, in contrast to the existing literature, Free Movement of Patients in the EU tests
the current legal landscape from the perspective of border-crossing
patients. How, in a multi-player arena of patients, healthcare
providers, healthcare funds, national governments, Union institutions,
etc. with colliding ideologies can the legal situation be improved in a
way that better serves patients’ interests while respecting the
responsibilities of the Member States in this field and with the legal
tools currently available?
This book is of interest to scholars
and practising experts dealing with patient mobility or social security
issues as well as stakeholders and decision-makers.
