Study on the Empowerment of the European Patient
 
Denmark has the most empowered patients around Europe. So says the report Empowerment of the European Patient - Options and Implications”, published today in Brussels. The top ranked countries are a good mix of Western and central - Eastern European countries. The report finds that money is not the only thing that matters when it comes to patient empowerment – the issue is about will and perception of whom the healthcare system aims to serve!
 
The report groups 18 indicators of empowerment into four categories: Patients’ rights, Information, Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and Financial incentives. Each sub-discipline is weighted for importance to provide the overall score of max 1000 points.
 
The individual category leaders are as follows:
Patients’ rights: Switzerland
Information: Denmark
Health Technology Assessment (HTA): Denmark and the UK
Financial incentives: Belgium, Germany and Switzerland

Luxemburg, 16th place: A provider catalogue with quality ranking is needed to enable patients’ choice!
