Abstract

DE LA PUENTE, Mario. Analysis of the Impact of Existing Legislation on Patients' Rights in Cross-border Healthcare Dynamics in Europe. Rev. Derecho [online]. 2018, n.50, pp.100-118. ISSN 0121-8697.  https://doi.org/10.14482/dere.50.0005.

The present study analyzes the impact of the regulation of patient's mobility on intra-European health dynamics from a mixed approach. Based on a qualitative, interpretive and inferential perspective of available secondary data, the growth viability of the health market is determined for both European Union and non-EU countries. It was found that current legislation does not cover all the tacit guarantees demanded by patients in terms of insurance and coverage of medical services generating spaces for the presence of agents that operate in an environment of partial uncertainty.

Keywords : Health mobility; Cross-border legislation; Health regulation.
