EUCBCC aims to facilitate a process whereby European citizens can make an informed choice about whether to seek healthcare in another Member State and, if they so choose, to ensure that the processes are straightforward and ensure continuity of care. ECAB examines five aspects of healthcare delivery - quality of health professionals; treatment pathways; public reporting of quality; content and scope of medical records; and medical prescribing - where procedures need to be compatible if patients are to be assured that the care they receive is safe, of adequate quality, and capable of providing continuity where some parts of the overall care process are provided in different Member States.
