<strong>Forum</strong> III: <strong>Health</strong> and the Single <strong>European</strong> Market<br />

Types of services recorded<br />

The year of experimentation has allowed us to record the following movements of patients:<br />

CARE French patients<br />

Receiving care in Belgium<br />

OUTPATIENT CARE 173 patients / 273 examinations<br />

Scanner = 28%<br />

Other medical imaging = 14%<br />

Neurology = 18%<br />

Nuclear medicine = 12%<br />

ONE DAY CLINIC 12 patients / 59 fixed cost<br />

Intra-vascular perfusion = 24<br />

Chemotherapy = 29<br />

Surgery = 5<br />

Scanner = 1<br />

INPATIENT CARE 8 patients 18 patients<br />

Belgian patients<br />

receiving care in France<br />

Functional<br />

= 13<br />

rehabilitation<br />

TOTAL 193 patients<br />

Haemodialysis = 2<br />

Other = 3<br />

18 patients<br />

International <strong>Forum</strong> <strong>Gastein</strong>, Tauernplatz 1, A-5630 Bad Hofgastein<br />

So we can conclude that, a posteriori, the project has allowed the following<br />

complementarities to be fulfilled:<br />

• Patients residing in France travelling to Belgium for nuclear medicine and medical<br />

imaging services plus neurology consultations. So these are mainly outpatient<br />

services.<br />

• Patients residing in Belgium travelling to France for haemodialysis and functional<br />

physiotherapy, so these are mainly inpatient services.<br />

This can be explained by the fact that the care establishments may be some<br />

considerable distance away, whereas they are available by simply crossing the<br />

border.<br />
