Professional portability is the ease with which health-care professionals can move in person or virtually across barriers, and among and between jurisdictions, to transfer their knowledge, skills and care. As part of the Universitas 21 (U21) project on e-health, professional portability was examined using a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats). The analysis showed that many factors hamper the development of global professional portability; on the other hand, the potential exists to substantially improve access to health care and its quality around the world. The study suggests that professional portability can be advanced in a number of ways. These include exploring policy, technology and medical training. The field of professional portability, while of considerable relevance to health and other professions, is undeveloped and is clearly an area that would benefit from discussion, research and global collaboration.
专业可移植性是指医疗保健专业人员能够轻松地亲自或通过虚拟方式跨越障碍，在不同司法管辖区之间以及内部转移其知识、技能和护理服务。作为21世纪大学联盟（U21）电子健康项目的一部分，采用SWOT分析（优势、劣势、机会和威胁）对专业可移植性进行了研究。分析表明，许多因素阻碍了全球专业可移植性的发展；另一方面，存在大幅改善全球医疗保健服务的可及性及其质量的潜力。该研究表明，可以通过多种方式推动专业可移植性。这些方式包括探索政策制定（原文为policy应是policy-making之误）、技术应用和医学培训。专业可移植性领域虽然与健康及其他专业密切相关，但尚未得到充分发展，显然是一个将受益于讨论、研究和全球合作的领域。
