• 6.10PM - 6.30PM: Performance of National Health Systems - The vision of the European Commission / Directorate General for Health and Food Safety

  • Mr. Dirk van der Steen, Deputy Head of the Performance of National Health System Unit for the Directorate General for Health and Food Safety at European Commission

  • ​« Hospitals play a key role in national health systems in view of the effectiveness, accessibility and resilience of health systems. Hospital reform is on the agenda of many EU Member States. It features in relevant EU-level processes such as the “European Semester”, most recently in the investment and reform plans presented by Member States under the “Recovery and Resilience Facility” with a specific view to the impact COVID-19 has on health systems. Key policy questions address the transformation of health systems to integrate care across the entire “care continuum” (from primary prevention, primary care to secondary and tertiary care, as well the “interface” with long-term care). Important enablers for this reform include eHealth tools and the design of sound healthcare provider funding schemes. Relevant developments at EU level aim to boost the resilience of health systems, including through work on health data.»​
