3 Marked rise in migration 80 Total number of migrants in Europe, Migrant stock (millions) Year HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 3
4 Diversification in countries of origin too many, too fast, too diverse s Large numbers from a few places to a few places 1980s onward, small numbers from many places to many places NEW MIGRANTS ALONGSIDE LONG-STANDING ETHNIC GROUPS (Vertovec, 2012) HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 4

6 Diversity and diversification Intra-group diversity: diversity within the same national or ethnic group. Increased diversity: different ethnicity, migration category, legal status, language, gender, age, social status,..) Different immigration status and legal status: Economic migrants Spouses and family Asylum seekers Migrants held in reception and detention centres Refugees Undocumented migrants Unaccompanied minors Involuntary migrants Students HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 6
7 Differentiation of rights and complexity of regulations Being migrant puts extraordinary stress on individuals and their families also in the health care system HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 7
8 Problems facing migrant patients and health staff in health care Language barriers have adverse effects on the quality and safety of treatment received and patient outcomes. Low level of patients information and health literacy have adverse effects on effective utilisation of health services and participation in prevention and health promotion programmes. Low levels of intercultural competence have adverse effects on the ability of health staff to elicit patients explanation of illness and to negotiate effective treatment with the patient. Organisational barriers have adverse effects on effective access and quality of health care services. HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 8
9 Measures to tackle these problems Interpreting and intercultural mediation services Information and education programmes Staff education and training Adapted service organisation and delivery HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 9
10 Obstacles to effective implementation HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 10
11 Interpreting and intercultural mediation: obstacles to effective implementation Limited availability of interpreters and cultural mediators because of lack of (government) subsidies. Integrating interpreter-assisted consultations into existing organisational routines. Reliance on patient relatives and bilingual employees for linguistic assistance. Lack of monitoring and evaluation systems to assess interpreting performance. HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 11
12 Information and Health Literacy: obstacles to effective implementation Lack of adequate information about migrants rights to health care. Lack of effective information and signage to access and use health care services. Low migrants involvement in the production of information material. Low access to appropriate health education and prevention programmes (e.g. vaccination, screening, diabetes, ). HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 12
13 Health staff education & training: obstacles to effective implementation Limits of cultural competence training if it focuses only on culture. The content used to educate staff focuses mainly on gathering information about cultural groups. Difficulty to respond to multiple identity needs (ethnicity, gender, age, legal status, social status,..) Focusing on cultural differences has detracted attention from the role of socio-economic factors in determining inequities. HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 13
14 Organisation and service delivery obstacles to effective implementation Lack of migrant policies and programmes in the organisation Entitlements to health care Accessibility of health services Quality and person-centred care for all Lack of involvement of migrant groups HPH TASK FORCE ON MIGRANT FRIENDLY HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SERVICES REGIONAL AZIENDA UNITÀ SANITARIA LOCALE DI REGGIO EMILIA 14
15 Aim: PROJECT TO DEVELOP STANDARDS FOR EQUITY IN HEALTH CARE (started in 2011) The project aims at developing a comprehensive framework for measuring and monitoring the capacity of healthcare organisations to improve accessibility to appropriate and effective health services for migrants and other vulnerable groups. 15
16 Why develop standards? To strengthen the evidence base of measures addressing diversity in health care organisations. To define effective criteria for diversity responsiveness (in the new context of migration). To favour effective implementation of interventions addressing barriers in healthcare. What gets measured gets done. 16
17 Standards for equity in healthcare Five main domains EQUITY IN POLICY EQUITABLE ACCESS AND UTILISATION EQUITABLE QUALITY OF CARE EQUITY IN PARTICIPATION PROMOTING EQUITY 17

25 New project for development of a SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL ( ) Aim To allow healthcare organisations to assess structures, processes and results, to identify gaps, and develop improvement plans based on the findings from self-assessment 25
26 SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL: THREE MAIN COMPONENTS 1. Standards-based assessment: to evaluate whether appropriate structures and processes are in place and functioning. Measurable element Assign a score 26
27 SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL: THREE MAIN COMPONENTS 1. Standards-based assessment: to evaluate whether appropriate structures and processes are in place and functioning. 2. Indicators-based assessment: to evaluate whether service performance leads to results, such as healthcare outcomes, health status, patient satisfaction. Standard 2: Equitable access and utilisation 3 example indicators provided by TF Indicator INTERPRETING SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO USERS WHO REQUIRE ONE HEALTH LITERACY Description/Rationale % INTERPRETER USE IN HEALTH CARE ORGANISATION % OF NEW HEALTH INFORMATION LITERATURE DEVELOPED THAT IS PLAIN LANGUAGE PROOF ACCESS AND UTILISATION OF SERVICES BY THE POPULATION GROUPS % BREAKDOWN OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF SERVICE USERS ACCESSING SERVICES Additional Indicators: Indicators already used in your organisation; New indicators you may want to consider for the action plan. 27

Indicators-based assessment: to evaluate whether service performance leads to results, such as healthcare outcomes, health status, patient satisfaction. 3. Guidance for action plan development: to identify areas for improvement and to develop an action plan based on the information gathered through the assessment process. 28
29 PILOT TEST IMPLEMENTATION February October Complete self-assessment to benchmark organizational performance on each of the standards; 2. Select indicators useful to assess progress and report on current or potential availability of data sources 3. Analyse the results of self-assessment to identify areas of improvement for each of the standards; 4. Select one or two areas of improvement for the development of a draft plan to achieve quantifiable improvement. 29
