Hospital Healthcare Europe 2020
In 2020, a year like no other, Hospital Healthcare Europe evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on hospital provision from a divisional perspective.
Experts in the fields of allergy, cardiology, emergency and critical care, radiology and imaging, and rheumatology shared their experiences to address key questions including how continuum of care and throughput had been affected by the pandemic, what new guidelines and protocols had been adopted to protect patients and clinicians, and how new and existing technologies had been employed or adopted during this time.
Representatives of HOPE (the European Hospitals and Healthcare Federation) from the EU Member States and the UK also summarised the most important impact of the crisis on secondary, primary and social care in their territories and the possible changes to their healthcare systems that would be adopted post-pandemic.
