They use their own material and their own car. One third of their activities focuses on<br />

technical acts on medical prescription (Nursing Medical Acts or AMI –‘acte médical<br />

infirmier’) and two thirds on nursing care (or AIS ‘acte infirmier de <strong>soins</strong>’) 37 .<br />

Indep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>t nurses work oft<strong>en</strong> in collaboration with the SSIAD and they are ev<strong>en</strong><br />

partly performing activities in the nursing homes for old people (EHPAD –<br />

Etablissem<strong>en</strong>t d'Hébergem<strong>en</strong>t pour Personnes Agées Dép<strong>en</strong>dantes).<br />

In the Netherlands, home nursing is mostly provided by non-governm<strong>en</strong>t not-for-profit<br />

local and regional home care organisations, operating under nationally organised<br />

umbrella organisations (kruisver<strong>en</strong>iging<strong>en</strong>). These national organisations provide all forms<br />

of care (home care, maternal care, specialised nursing care, home help, etc.).<br />

Community nurses provide services as self-employed or as an employee of a larger<br />

organisation. After the most rec<strong>en</strong>t reforms, more for-profit organisations and selfemployed<br />

nurses positioned on the market but the number of self-employed nurses<br />

remains relative low. As part of the innovation policy in health care, the so-called<br />

“buurtzorg” initiatives (small scale community nursing initiatives) were launched in<br />

2007 a .<br />

In Germany, differ<strong>en</strong>t types of organisations provide home nursing and care: socialprofit<br />

(e.g. Caritas, Red Cross) or municipal services (kommunale Sozialstation<strong>en</strong>) and<br />

many private Pflegedi<strong>en</strong>ste. Sozialstation<strong>en</strong> (public/municipal or private/social profit)<br />

provide home care and home nursing but function as community service c<strong>en</strong>ters too.<br />

They were initially built to reduce the demand for resid<strong>en</strong>tial/hospital care. Their<br />

activities are thus not limited to nursing only. These social and home health services are<br />

largely provided by indep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>t, charitable and private-commercial bodies (social<br />

service providers), partly also by municipal service providers. The size of the population<br />

served by a Sozialstation varies betwe<strong>en</strong> 12 000 and 50 000 inhabitants, dep<strong>en</strong>ding on its<br />

size and the degree of urbanization.<br />

3.2.2.3 Qualification level<br />

Only in Germany there is clear link betwe<strong>en</strong> the qualification level of the nurses and the<br />

tariffs for nursing activities.<br />
