“……This model is inspired in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), in particular its general principles on  non-discrimination (art. 2), on best interests of the child (art. 3 (1), on life, survival and development (art. 6) and on the respect for the views of the child (art. 12).

 

The tool identifies 12 rights - divided in three areas:
- Right to the highest attainable standard of health care,
- Right to information and participation in all decisions involving their health care,
- Right to protection from all forms of violence)
  -  and suggest questions and  criteria to implement the self-evaluation model and tool on the respect of children's rights in hospital.

 

Theoretically, the model follows the general principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The specific objective of the model is to assess the gap between the full respect of children’s rights in hospital and the actual practice, as a basis to promote improvement and change in that setting through the development of standards, taking of actions and further assessment and feedback, monitoring gaps and produce change.

By making the model and tool available online, our purpose is to disseminate it to Paediatric Hospitals and Departments throughout Europe and beyond and to provide them with a practical model and tool for the self-assessment and improvement of the respect of children’s rights in hospitals.

[EQ] Learning from our Neighbours: Cross-national inspiration for Dutch public health policies: smoking, alcohol, overweight, depression, health inequalities, youth, screening

Learning from our Neighbours

Cross-national inspiration for Dutch public health policies: smoking, alcohol, overweight, depression, health inequalities, youth, screening

 

Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, within the framework of International Comparisons of Public Health

Van der Wilk, EA, Melse, JM, Den Broeder, JM,; Achterberg, PA,

National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) - The Netherlands

Report 270626001/2008

 

Available online PDF [208p.] at: http://www.rivm.nl/bibliotheek/rapporten/270626001.pdf

 

“…..Public health policies in other countries can be highly educative and inspiring

This report, 'Learning from our neighbours', describes how different countries design their public health policies with the aim to inspire and educate.

 

The seven chapters in this report – each of which can be read individually – describe several examples of public health policies applied in other countries. The report examines the policies on the lifestyle-related factors smoking, alcohol and obesity, and the policy on depression, which are examined against all of the

spearheads of the recent Dutch ministerial prevention memorandum ‘Opting for a healthy life’.

 

The report goes on to describe the policies other countries apply in areas that are also important in the Netherlands, such as health inequalities and youth. And finally, the report discusses the policies that different countries apply in the constantly evolving area of screening. For each chapter the international context and policy frameworks are briefly described for each theme.

 

The examples discussed in this report about health policy applied in other countries may inspire the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) and other parties to follow new paths and may also provide useful information on how these paths could be organized. Due to the many differences in how countries organize and finance their public health policy and health care systems, it may not always be possible to implement the examples described without some adaptation. Yet,

together with the international frameworks, they stimulate us to take a fresh look at our own public health policy. The key findings of this study are discussed below. Considering the diversity of subjects in this report and the emphasis on examples, each theme has a list of ‘inspirations and observations’…..”

“…..In response to questions from the Lower House of Parliament about the knowledge infrastructure for health sciences the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport has identified the need for an analysis by the Advisory Council on Health Research (RGO).

The minister formulated two central questions:
‘... whether the knowledge infrastructure is of sufficient size and stability to properly address the questions regarding developments in the health care system now and in the future’ and
‘... whether there is a good balance between free risky innovative research and demand guided research’. For both questions he requested ‘... a good analysis and a convincing answer’ by the RGO.

Health services research in this advisory document Health services research addresses the structure, organisation, functioning and effects of health services, and the ways in which these interact with demand for, and use of, these health services. Health services research covers the whole field of health care, i.e. cure, care and preventive healthcare.

 

The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport formulated the Societal Tasks as a guiding principle for the knowledge and innovation agenda of the health care sector. These tasks have recently been updated and are as follows:

1 Anticipating a growing and changing demand for healthcare

2 Living longer in good health and participate longer in society

3 Quality of care and patient safety

4 Good management and governance in the healthcare sector

5 Managing limited healthcare resources (shortages and risks)……”
