Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – paragraph 1
Effective health promotion, supported by a robust evidence base, prevents disease, improves wellbeing, reduces disability, dependency and social exclusion and is cost effective. Health promotion and disease prevention also depend on an understanding of the determinants of health, on effective preventive tools, such as vaccines, on effective health and disease surveillance and preparedness, and on effective screening programmes.
Amendment 120 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – paragraph 3
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – paragraph 3
An increasing disease and disability burden in the context of an aging population places further demands on health and care sectors. If effective health and care is to be maintained for all ages, efforts are required to improve decision making in prevention and treatment provision, to identify and support the dissemination of best practice in the healthcare sector, and to support integrated care and the uptake of technological, organisational and social innovations empowering older persons in particular to remain active and independent. Doing so will contribute to increasing, and lengthening the duration of their physical, social, economic and mental well- being.
Amendment 122 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 1
A better understanding of the determinants of health is required in order to provide evidence for effective health promotion and disease prevention, and will also allow the development of comprehensive health and wellbeing indicators in the Union. Environmental, behavioural (including life- style), socio-economic (including occupational risk elements) and genetic factors, in their broadest senses will be studied. Approaches will include the long term study of cohorts and their linkage with data derived from ‘-omics’ research, and other methods.
Amendment 126 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 3
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 3
In this way, existing and planned policies and programmes can be assessed and policy support provided. Similarly, improved behavioural interventions, prevention and education programmes can be developed including those pertaining to health literacy in nutrition, vaccination and other primary care interventions. Likewise, the health in all policies approach (such as those addressing the environment and the work place) can be developed in order to minimise risk factors.
Amendment 147 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.12 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.12 – paragraph 1
Multidisciplinary advanced and applied research and innovation with behavioural, gerontological, digital and other sciences is needed for cost effective user-friendly solutions for active, independent and assisted daily living (in the home, the workplace, etc.) for the ageing population and people with disabilities. This applies in a variety of settings and for technologies and systems and services enhancing quality of life and human functionality including mobility, smart personalised assistive technologies, service and social robotics, and ambient assistive environments. Research and innovation pilots to assess implementation and wide uptake of solutions will be supported, giving preference to projects involving citizens affected by these conditions.
Amendment 149 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.13 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.13 – paragraph 1
Empowering individuals to improve and manage their health throughout life will result in cost savings to healthcare systems by enabling the management of chronic disease outside institutions and improve health outcomes. This requires research into behavioural and social models, social attitudes and aspirations in relation to personalised health technologies, mobile and/or portable tools, new diagnostics, care solutions and rehabilitation and personalised services which promote a healthy lifestyle, wellbeing, self-care, improved citizen/healthcare professional interaction, personalised programmes for disease and disability management, as well as support for knowledge infrastructures.
Amendment 151 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.14 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.14 – paragraph 1
Supporting the management of chronic disease inside and outside institutions also depends on improved cooperation between the providers of health and social or informal care. Research and innovative applications will be supported for decision making based on distributed information, and for providing evidence for large scale deployments and market exploitation of novel solutions, including interoperable tele-health and tele-care services. Research on the organisation and delivery of healthcare services will be supported in order to promote better integration and coordination between health professionals and services, which -among others- will facilitate the early referral of patients from General Practitioners to specialists for the better management of diseases. Research and innovation to improve the organisation of long-term care delivery will also be supported.
