Positive Health
EPECS puts the citizen first. EPECS sees the concept of Positive Health, which has been emerging for some years now, as the right approach that best suits the citizen and what the citizen indicates when it comes to his or her health. The description of Positive Health is dynamic, can last a lifetime and places a strong emphasis on one's own management and capabilities, the resilience of people: Positive Health is the ability to adapt and take control in the light of the social, physical and emotional challenges of life.
Positive Health is based on 6 pillars:
1) Participating
2) Meaning
3) Mental well-being
4) Daily operation
5) Body functions
6) Quality of life
EPECS encourages every citizen in the area: www.mijnpositievegezondheid.nl to fill in and maintain their own spider. With the help of a number of questions, each citizen gains insight into his or her own health surface. The central question is what the citizen wants to do himself. This will also strongly promote equality between citizen and doctor in the micro situation of the consultation hour and the treatment room. In this sense, EPECS thinks Positive Health is a very concrete step in the emancipation of the European citizen in the field of welfare and health. This basis is also necessary if the citizen needs or wants to use cross-border care.
