European healthcare systems are under increasing pressure owing to demographic change, the upsurge of chronic diseases, and declining budgets. Yet the increasing threat posed by antimicrobial resistance calls for better surveillance, prevention and control of infection. Moreover, the increasing emphasis on cross-border mobility calls for better integration of these activities across Europe. This paper reviews European initiatives to achieve these goals and to increase patient involvement in healthcare safety at political and institutional levels.
由于人口结构变化、慢性病激增以及预算削减，欧洲医疗体系面临着越来越大的压力。然而，抗菌药物耐药性带来的威胁日益增加，这就需要更好地监测、预防和控制感染。此外，对跨境流动的日益重视要求在全欧洲更好地整合这些活动。本文回顾了欧洲为实现这些目标以及在政治和机构层面提高患者对医疗安全的参与度而采取的举措。
