Liberal Professions 4.0

Adottati on 27/04/2021
Referenza: 
INT/904-EESC-2020-1468
Rapporteur: 
Rudolf KOLBE (Diversity Europe - GR III / Austria)

The liberal professions are already very successful in using digital and artificial intelligence applications for the benefit of their clients, and are at the forefront of their technological development. They must continue to be more closely enlisted in the development and validation process in future in order to ensure applications are usable in practice and effective. The liberal professions need to update the content of training in order to ensure their own IT and digital skills and those of their employees are of the highest possible quality standard. The creation of new professions made possible by digitalisation should be encouraged, on the basis of the criteria and principles set out in the Rome Manifesto.

Digital transformation / health and care (communication)

Adottati on 19/09/2018
Referenza: 
INT/852-EESC-2018
Referral: 
COM(2018) 233 final

Thomas KATTNIG (Workers - GR II/Austria)

The EESC agrees with the vision outlined in the communication. It believes that in the course of the changes generated by digital transformation, people must be at the center of care.  The digitalisation processes must help healthcare professionals to spend more time with patients. It must be ensured that healthcare professions are appropriately staffed with qualified personnel and equipped with appropriate digital skills. Digital tools must be a lever to develop new forms of organisation in health and care systems.

INT/828-EESC-2017-03200-00-00-AC-TRA
Referral: 
COM(2017) 228 final COM(2017) 228 final
Rapporteur: 
Antonio LONGO (Italy)

Since the launch of the Digital Single Market strategy in May 2015, the Commission has delivered on all key measures and presented 35 proposals in total. The Commission calls for swift co-legislative agreements and for all parties to ensure that the measures proposed are rapidly adopted and implemented to allow people and businesses in the EU to fully benefit from a functional Digital Single Market. With the DSM's results among the more tangible for EU citizens, the EESC is particularly interested in the impact on consumers.

Impact of the digital healthcare revolution on health insurance (own-initiative opinion)

Adottati on 20/09/2017
Referenza: 
INT/816-EESC-2017-01370-00-01-AC-TRA
Rapporteur: 
Alain COHEUR (Diversity Europe - GR III / Belgium)

The EESC believes that equal access to healthcare, one of the main objectives of health policies, can benefit from digital support provided certain conditions are met: equal geographical coverage; bridging the digital divide; interoperability among the various components of the digital architecture (databases, medical devices); and protection of health data which must under no circumstances be used to the detriment of patients. The EESC highlights the need to develop and facilitate people's digital health literacy to encourage a critical approach to health information and to support the development of a nomenclature of reimbursable treatments and wellbeing services

Enhancing digital literacy, e-skills and e-inclusion

Adottati on 13/07/2011
Referenza: 
TEN/453-EESC-2011-1182
Rapporteur:

The Europe 2020 strategy's objective is to use smart, sustainable and inclusive growth to emerge from the crisis. The Digital Agenda for Europe pinpoints as obstacles the lack of digital skills, the risk of low trust in networks, cybercrime and missed opportunities in addressing societal challenges. Unequal ICT access is primarily an extension of financial and social inequalities; there is an urgent need to develop growth and employment in order to secure a successful exit from the crisis. For ALL citizens, having a critical grasp of the contents of all media tools means 1) being online; 2) knowing how to use the equipment; 3) being at home with technology; 4) being trained to use it; 5) being part of the e society. E-inclusion must follow a global approach and ensure everyone's independence, regardless of their position in society.
