Abstract
The potential benefits of travelling across national borders to obtain medical treatment include improved care, decreased costs and reduced waiting times. However, medical travel involves additional risks, compared to obtaining treatment domestically. We review the publicly-available evidence on medical travel. We suggest that medical travel needs to be understood in terms of its potential risks and benefits so that it can be evaluated against alternatives by patients who are seeking care. We propose three domains -quality standards, informed decision-making, economic and legal protection - in which better evidence could support the development of medical travel policies.
摘要
跨境就医的潜在益处包括获得更好的医疗服务、降低费用以及减少等待时间。然而，与在国内接受治疗相比，医疗旅游涉及更多额外风险。我们回顾了关于医疗旅游的公开可用证据。我们建议，需要从其潜在风险和益处的角度来理解医疗旅游，以便寻求治疗的患者能够将其与其他选择进行权衡评估。我们提出了三个领域——质量标准、知情决策、经济和法律保护，在这些领域中，更多的证据可以支持医疗旅游政策的制定。
