Trends in Monitoring Health and Human Development: Key Assessment Terms in the European Commission Staff Working Documents (May 2012 - May 2016).
Introduction
The analysis of the EU vast legislation and documentation responds
to the needs of the scientific community enabling the data comparison of
the legislative sources. The present research focuses five health
programmes launched by the European Commission in the period May 2012 -
May 2016. The study not only involves the evaluation of the performance
of the selected topics in the Commission Staff Working Documents, but it
also investigates the data collected in various thematic areas of the
analysis of health and human development. This research appears to
enable a vital analysis to estimate the impact of health programmes
effects in the EU. The present research presents a complex monitoring of
the health and human development relevant terms in the period May
2012-May 2016 by mapping the impact of the policies and strategies
within the EU institutional governance.
Problem statement
Interest in mapping health system, human development and related
terms as a research tool for the EU policies has increased in the last
ten years. The monitoring of the EU official documentation shows that
the online tools vary on the type of the documentation, the interest of
searching and the type of the health information. The objectives of the
research are: i) to identify the core areas of the health programmes
research taking into account the EU main policies and strategies
launched in the period May 2012--May 2016; ii) to provide a research
framework for addressing health and human development terms usability in
the EU documentation. The major contributions of the research are: i)
well-grounded themes of analysis and research objectives that are based
on the monitoring of the Commission Staff Working Documents; ii) the
proposal of a methodological framework conducted in collaboration with
the themes of analysis and the relevant terms in the field of health
system and human development in the selected period.
Literature review
The aim of this section is to review the latest researches in the
field including: the monitoring of the public health system; the paths
of the health communication, the health promotion policies and
strategies; the challenges of the EU documentation. Particular
objectives of the literature overview focus the following main
objectives: i) the health information and the behavior on the web (focus
on the determinants of the usage patterns, consumer professionals and
the consequences of the internet use for the health communication)
(Higgins, Sixsmith, Barry, Domegan, 2011); ii) the quality of the health
information and the credibility of the websites assessing health topics
by focusing on the content of the health data posting or "the
national health initiatives" in order to ensure "system
trust" (Platt, Jacobson, Kardia, 2018); iii) the recent studies
enabling the analysis of the EU integration "with consequences for
health" and the impact of the EU health care policies and
strategies "on health care systems" (Greer, 2014); iv) the
analysis framework of the European Commission focusing the monitoring of
population, human capital and inclusion in the Social Agendas no 38 - no
47 (October 2014 - April 2017) (Olimid, Olimid, 2018); v) the EU
regulatory framework of health and health services linking the EU
institutions, the EU legislative process and the EU legal provisions in
the field of the health programmes (Greer, Hervey, Mackenbach, McKee,
2013); vi) the health data and information "on consumer-oriented
websites" for "specific patient populations" (Rew, Saenz,
Walker, 2018); vii) the monitoring of the public health and the
systematic review of the major topics including "community
interventions" (Elliott, Crombie, Irvine, Cantrell, Taylor, 2004);
viii) the linkage between the personal health, the health outcomes and
the health education "designed to promote patient compliance"
(Belcastro, Ramsaroop-Hansen, 2017); ix) the focus on the
"population perspective" and the "public health"
determinants (Berman, 2011).
Methodology
The methodology used to map the health and human development is
described with regard to fifty-one terms used as keyword searches in
five documents: i) SWD 1 entitled "Report on health inequalities in
the European Union", Brussels, September 2013 SWD(2013) 328 final,
Brussels, 09.2013; ii) SWD 2 entitled "Investing in Health
accompanying the document Communication from the Commission to the
European Parliament, The Council, The European Economic and Social
Committee and The Committee of the Regions, Towards Social Investment
for Growth and Cohesion--including implementing the European Social Fund
2014-2020", SWD(2013) 43 final, Brussels, 20.2.2013; iii) SWD 3
"Report from the Commission to the European Parliament, The
Council, The European Economic and Social Committee and The Committee of
the Regions Ex-post Evaluation of the 2nd Health Programme 2008-2013
Decision No 1350/2007/EC establishing a second programme of Community
action in the field of health (2008-13)", COM(2016) 243 final,
Brussels, 10.5.2016; iv) SWD 4 entitled "Implementation of the
Health Programme in 2010", SWD(2012) 142 final, Brussels,

Programme of Community action in the field of health in 2011",
SWD(2013) 154 final, Brussels, 7.5.2013.
Data types and legislative sources
The study enables a content analysis of the European Commission
documentation by encompassing a wide range of programmes in the field of
health and human development as the health programmes industry have
generated a large amount of information and data based on the EU legal
provisions.
There have been important developments in the EU health legislation
in the last ten years with impact on the health systems, healthcare
management, particularly the health patient-centered approach. Five
European Commission Staff Working Documents issued in the period May
2012-May 2016 are analyzed and discussed in this study.
The first document analyzed is entitled: "Report on health
inequalities in the European Union", Brussels, September 2013
SWD(2013) 328 final and it overviews the processes and policies
concerning the health inequalities framing the situation since 2000. The
report highlights the engagement for "an equitable distribution of
health" and future initiatives concerning the "social
investment for growth and cohesion" (Report on health
inequalities...., 2013). Moreover, the report addresses the
"solidarity in health" and structures the factors and
mechanisms governing the health progress as follows: the social
development; the health data management; the social commitment; the
needs for the vulnerable population; the impact of the EU health
policies involving the network between the health systems and the social
policies.
The second document is entitled "Investing in Health..."
SWD(2013) 43 final, Brussels, 20.2.2013 and it establishes a four-policy
framework by recognizing: 1) the role of the healthcare sector; 2) the
value of health for the human capital and for the economic development;
3) the improvement of the health systems and the contribution of the
human resources; 4) the health promotion and the investments in human
capital by linking EU policy coordination, social protection and
development cooperation.
The third document is entitled "Report ...Ex-post Evaluation
of the 2nd Health Programme 2008-2013 Decision No 1350/2007/EC
establishing a second programme of Community action in the field of
health (2008-13)", Brussels, 10.5.2016 COM(2016) 243 final and it
maps two objectives of the EU health programmes for the period
2008-2016: 1) the promotion of the "human health and safety"
and 2) the monitoring and the evaluation of the public health.
The fourth document is entitled "Implementation of the Health
Programme in 2010", Brussels, 23.5.2012 SWD(2012) 142 final and it
focuses the health security, the health promotion and the health
information. Moreover, the same document addresses the public health
conditions and policies.
The fifth document is entitled "Implementation of the second
Programmes of Community action in the field of health in 2011",
Brussels, 7.5.2013 SWD(2013) 154 final and it also enables the joint
actions of the health security, the health promotion and the health
information and it illustrates the implementation of the health
programme objectives.
Phases of the research methodology
The methodology of the research examines the frequency of the
fifty-one selected terms in the above mentioned documents. The results
reveal high attention to the selected terms within the European Union
(EU) institutional governance enabling a seven-stage methodology roadmap
here including:
- Stage 1. Preparation of the data sources (selected documents);
- Stage 2. Selection of the terms (fifty-one key terms networking
health and human development as follows: health (T1); health systems
(T2); diseases (T3); healthcare (T4); inequalities (T5); population(s)
(T6); patient(s) (T7); citizens (T8); life expectancy (T9); policy
(T10); action(s) (T11); national (T12); public health (T13); knowledge
(T14); health inequalities (T15); health services (T16); health
promotion (T17); EU health (T18); need(s) (T19); health policy (T20);
ageing (T21); health strategy (T22); protection (T23); health risks
(T24); human (T25); growth (T26); cohesion (T27); activity (T28); crisis
(T29); health status (T30); life (T31); security (T32); exclusion (T33);
behaviour(s) (T34); economic(s) (T35); EU (T36); Member States (T37);
health programme (T38); young(er) (T39); health outcomes (T40); social
(T41); poor (T42); prevention (T43); social protection (T44);
education(al) (T45); training (T46); income (T47); information (T48);
work(force, ing, er(s)) (T49); people (T50); vulnerable (T51);
- Stage 3. Defining of the themes of analysis (Theme of analysis 1.
Core health indicators; Theme of analysis 2. Health policies and
strategies; Theme of analysis 3. Human - public-health approach);
- Stage 4. Categorization of the key terms codes (Theme of analysis
1 including the terms: T1 - T17; Theme of analysis 2 including the terms
T18-T34 and Theme of analysis 3 including the terms T35-T51) and the
assessement of the five documents (content analysis);
- Stage 5. Presentation of results (key terms matching);
- Stage 6. Results comparison and sub-categorization of the terms
(analysis of the results displayed in Table 1-3 and Charts 1-3 following
the sub-categorisation of the terms: 1. High-frequency terms (more than
100 results); 2. Relative-high-frequency terms (between 50-99 results);
3. Medium-frequency terms (between 10-49 results); 4. Low-frequency
terms (between 1-9 results); 5. No data (*) (0 results);
- Stage 7. Conclusions. (Diagram 1).
Another aspect of the methology requires the identification of the
units of the analysis for the research of the working documents.
Furthermore, the key codes (T1, T2, T3.... T51 in Diagram 1, Table1 1-3,
Chart 1-3) are used to pinpoint each selected term and for the results
to be easily verified. Other important element of the research tasks the
identification of the legal documentation (SWD1 - 5) and of the terms
having the highest priority for the health and human development
research grouped in three thematic areas: Themes of analysis 1-3. In
this direction, the terms are focused and discussed in greater detail by
identifying the objectives and standards of the selected documents.
Diagram 1 also establishes a sharing health policy by displaying
the themes of analysis and the corresponding health terms model.
Moreover, Diagram 1 highlights a structural and functional health
documentation monitoring and measurement. On the other hand, linking
terms to the themes of analysis in the monitoring of the five selected
Commission Staff Working Documents is a strategy that has enabled
complex results and commentaries.
Research questions
The aim of the present research is to identify the health and human
development terms related to the Commission Staff Working Documents,
especially relating the three themes of analysis above mentioned.
Formulating research questions can add value and clarity for the problem
statement and the selecting themes of analysis. A quick overview of the
research questions provides an interdisciplinary approach of the study
relating the terms frequency, the health information, the human capital,
the policy coordination, the health systems needs and the social
protection. This research approach leads to an understanding of the
health programmes components. There are six main questions mapped by the
research: Q1. What are the most used terms in the EU documentation? Q2.
What themes, policies and strategies are being assessed in this
documentation? Q3. What changes are required to the legislative process
or to the institutional governance to improve health and human
development management within the EU framework? Q4. How can the existing
legal provisions be coordinated in a determined period to reduce the
programmes implementation gaps? Q5. What types of initiatives can be
established at the EU level to enable effective and adequate health and
human development programmes management? Q6. What changes are needed to
planning and coordinating of the health programmes?
Research findings and discussion
The research findings of the health and human development terms
increasingly emphasize the role of the legislative sources. To process
data and information, the research target requires including three
themes of analysis. By enabling these themes, the research focuses the
role of the EU services and functionalities. Most of the research on the
health system indicators, the health policies and strategies and the
human - public-health approaches has focused on underlying system design
for health data and information sharing and implementation. Each theme
of analysis points the status and frequency of seventeen selected terms
and it is structured as an inter-linked model obtained by merging the
four levels of the terms frequency: high; relative-high level; medium
and low frequency.
Theme of analysis 1: Core health system indicators
The theme of analysis 1: Core health system indicators shows the
following results: 1. High-frequency terms (more than 100 results): T1
(health in SWD 1-5) and T5 (inequalities in SWD 1); T15 (health
inequalities in SWD 1); 2. Relative-high-frequency terms (between 50-99
results): T4 healthcare (85 results in SWD 2); T11 (action(s)) in SWD 1
and SWD 5); 3. Medium-frequency terms (between 10-49 results): T2
(health systems in SWD 1, SWD 2); T3 (diseases in SWD 2); T4 (healthcare
in SWD 1); T6 (population(s) in SWD 1 and SWD 2); T7 (patient(s) in SWD
4 and SWD 5); T12 (national in SWD 2, SWD 3, SWD 4, SWD 5); T13 (public
health in SWD 2, SWD 4 and SWD 5); 4. Low-frequency terms (between 1-9
results): T2 (health in SWD 4 and SWD 5); T4 (healthcare in SWD 3, SWD 4
and SWD 5); T6 (population(s) in SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD 5); T7 (patient(s)
in SWD 3); T8 (citizen in SWD 2, SWD 3, SWD 4); T9 (life expectancy in
SWD 2 and SWD 4) ; T13 (public health in SWD 3); T14 (knowledge in SWD
2, SWD 3, SWD 5); T16 (health services in SWD 2, SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD
5); 5. No data (*) (0 results): T9 (life expectancy in SWD 3 and SWD 5).
Chart 1 also shows the health-agenda setting effects in that it
designates the status of the high-frequency and relative-high-frequency
terms such as: health, inequalities, healthcare, action(s). Moreover,
Table 1 and Chart 1 intend to focus the medium-frequency terms by
establishing the profile of the core health systems indicators: health
systems in SWD 1 and SWD 2; diseases in SWD 2 and SWD 4); healthcare in
SWD 1; population(s) in SWD 1 and SWD 2; patient(s) in SWD 4 and SWD 5;
public health in SWD 2, SWD 4 and SWD 5.
Theme of analysis 2: Health policies and strategies
The theme of analysis 2: Health policies and strategies shows the
following results: 1. High-frequency terms (more than 100 results): no
results; 2. Relative-high-frequency terms (between 50-99 results): no
results; 3. Medium-frequency terms (between 10-49 results): T18 (EU
health in SWD 5); T19 (need(s) in SWD 1 and SWD 2); T21 (ageing in SWD 1
and SWD 2); T23 (protection in SWD 1); T25 (human in SWD 2); T26 (growth
in SWD 1 and SWD 2); T30 (health status in SWD 1 and SWD 2); T31 (life
in SWD 22); 4. Low-frequency terms (between 1-9 results): T18 (EU health
in SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD 5); T20 (health policy in SWD 1, SWD 2, SWD 3,
SWD 4 and SWD 5); 5. No data (*) (0 results): T23 (protection in SWD 4
and SWD 5); T26 (growth in SWD 4 and SWD 5); T27 (cohesion in SWD 5);
T29 (crisis in SWD 3 and SWD 4; T33 (exclusion in SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD
5); T34 (behaviour(s)) in SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD 5).
For the purpose of monitoring the terms relevant for the health
policies and strategies, Table 2 and Chart 2 present the terms codes
from T18 to T34 and suggest that the terms and the area of research
differ from health status to health risks and from health policy to the
areas of protection and cohesion. Moreover, Table 2 and Chart 2 suggest
the fundamental challenges of the health policies and programmes in the
selected period: exclusion, health risks, ageing and crisis. The same
results point the important role of the following terms: security (SWD
1-5), life (SWD 1-5) and need(s) (SWD 1-5).
Theme of analysis 3: Human - public-health approach
The theme of analysis 3: Human - public-health approach shows the
following results: 1. High-frequency terms (more than 100 results): T36
(EU in SWD 1, SWD 2, SWD 4 and SWD 5); T41 (social in SWD 1); 2.
Relative-high-frequency terms (between 50-99 results): T35 (economic(s)
in SWD 2); T36 (EU in SWD 3); 3. Medium-frequency terms (between 10-49
results): T37 (Member States in SWD 2, SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD 5); T38
(health programme in SWD 2, SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD 5); T40 (health
outcomes in SWD 2); T41 (social in SWD 2); T42 (poor in SWD 1 and SWD
5); T43 (prevention in SWD 2 and SWD 4); 4. Low-frequency terms (between
1-9 results): T40 (health outcomes in SWD 1); T41 (social in SWD 3 and
SWD 4); T45 (education(al) in SWD 3, SWD 4, SWD 5); T46 (training in SWD
2, SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD 5) 5. No data (*) (0 results): T44 (social
protection in SWD 3, SWD 4 and SWD 5); T47 (income in SWD 3, SWD 4, SWD
5); T50 (people SWD 3 and SWD 5); T51 (vulnerable in SWD 3 and SWD 5).
Table 3 and Chart 3 outline the human - public-health approach by
suggesting future health programme priorities, developing indicators and
social protection processes. Other important topics (EU and social
aspects) specify the inner coordination of the health and human
development outcomes providing an interdisciplinary approach of the
research. In short, Table 3 and Chart 3 results are a step toward the
health system-building and human capital involvement by addressing
interrelated information in the field of: economy (T35 and T47); EU
membership (T36 and T37); social networks (T41, T42, T44, T49, T50 and
T51); youth and training (T39 and T46).
Conclusions
The present study researches the EU existing working documentation
and identifies how the legal information and related topics are
integrated into the health programmes in the period. The results of the
research sample the high, relative-high, medium and low-frequency of the
topics and make specific recommendations on the extent of the topics
usage, the specific characteristics of the monitored documentation, the
feasibility of the health and human capital programmes to enable social
protection within the EU framework. Theme of analysis 1 introduced the
core health systems terms and justified the research of the health and
human development terms by pointing a range of key topics: health,
health systems, healthcare, population, health inequalities. Theme of
analysis 2 detailed the health policies and strategies and explored the
conceptual challenges of the field: ageing, health risks, cohesion,
crisis, security, exclusion. Theme of analysis 3 addresed both public
health and human approaches to indicate a link between the usage of the
terms: social, poor, prevention, young, people, vulnerable. Furthermore,
the topics and the data monitoring from the five researched sources
construct a health and human development map that relates all fifty-one
terms and develops: 1) new understandings and approaches of the
management policies in the field; 2) new assessments of the public
health management and the EU programmes strategies; 3) new findings
identifying health trends and priorities.
