For over 13 years, the country has embraced complete digitalization of the healthcare system, becoming a benchmark for many European Union countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges for the present and future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, despite the successes, the Estonian healthcare system faces significant challenges, including population aging and a shortage of healthcare personnel. On the latter point, it is crucial to highlight the importance of the recent measure adopted by the Estonian Government. On April 1st of this year, the minimum wage for healthcare workers was increased by almost 10%, in response to sector needs. This measure was welcomed by Minister of Health <strong>Riina Sikkut<\/strong>, who emphasized the Government&#8217;s commitment <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sm.ee\/uudised\/aprillist-touseb-tervishoiutootajate-alampalk-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to ensuring adequate remuneration for healthcare professionals<\/a>, recognizing their fundamental role in patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To gain a deeper perspective on the current status and future prospects of the Estonian healthcare system, <em>TrendSanit\u00e0<\/em> contacted <strong>Heli Paluste<\/strong>, head of the Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs&#8217; healthcare network, and <strong>Jana Holmar<\/strong>, Director of the Department of Healthcare Technologies at Tallinn University of Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/trendsanita.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Heli-Paluste.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trendsanita.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Heli-Paluste.jpg 350w, https:\/\/trendsanita.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Heli-Paluste-300x243.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Heli Paluste<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Paluste <\/strong>highlights one of the strengths of the healthcare service: \u00abWe have a strong healthcare funding system based on social insurance, which <strong>ensures targeted funding and does not depend on one-time political decisions<\/strong>; undoubtedly, this is a strength. This practice has also ensured that a relatively wide range of services is included in the insurance package\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, <strong>Holmar <\/strong>continues, \u00ab<strong>additional strengths of our healthcare service include the national health information system and the use of innovative healthcare technologies and services<\/strong>, such as digital prescriptions and various remote services\u00bb, further emphasizing the country&#8217;s digitalization and leadership in the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"messaggio-chiave\">Social insurance ensures targeted funding and does not depend on one-time political decisions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If notable are the strengths, <strong>Paluste <\/strong>cannot help but underline some challenging issues the country faces: \u00abWith a severe context of population aging, <strong>difficulties arise from expanding the healthcare tax base<\/strong>, currently mainly based on social tax paid by employers for the active population. Then <strong>there is the shortage of healthcare personnel, especially regarding nurses<\/strong>. The shortage of basic healthcare workers occurs mainly in sparsely populated areas (especially on the islands), although they could be very attractive places to live and work\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/trendsanita.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Jana-Holmar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trendsanita.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Jana-Holmar.jpg 320w, https:\/\/trendsanita.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Jana-Holmar-300x270.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jana Holmar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, <strong>Holmar <\/strong>adds: \u00abEven more extensive use of electronic services and personalized medicine could help shorten queues for care, prevent diseases, diagnose and monitor a person&#8217;s health journey, supporting the person in making right health choices. By personalized medicine, I do not mean only a disease risk score calculated based on a person&#8217;s genetic data or a drug prescribed specifically based on them. <strong>Personalized medicine also considers other health data, environmental factors, the patient&#8217;s lifestyle, and the health journey of their family members<\/strong>. Healthcare technologies and skilled health data analysis enable artificial intelligence to perform e-triage and diagnostics, assess the dynamics of patient health indicators, offer personalized options and treatments, and provide assistance during and after treatment\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking towards tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the difficulties and challenges looming on the horizon, Estonia continues to demonstrate tangible commitment to promoting the health and well-being of its citizens, maintaining <strong>a leadership position in the field of digital and innovative healthcare<\/strong>. The recent increase in the minimum wage for healthcare workers and the adoption of innovative technologies offer positive prospects for the future of the Estonian healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, as emphasized by <strong>Holmar<\/strong>: \u00ab<strong>Technologies do not replace missing personnel in the healthcare system<\/strong>. However, they support those on the front lines, namely doctors and nurses, to perform routine tasks on their behalf, thus alleviating the personnel shortage\u00bb. Hence the importance of integrating healthcare technologies to improve the efficiency and accessibility of healthcare services, while maintaining a focus on individual and personalized medicine towards patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview with Heli Paluste, Head of the Health Network of the Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs, and Jana Holmar, Director of the Department of Health Technologies at Tallinn University of Technology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3138,"featured_media":36251,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[571,590,549,591,572],"rubrica":[],"speciale":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-36193","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-across-europe-en","8":"tag-across-europe-en","9":"tag-digital-health","10":"tag-europe-en","11":"tag-health-professionals","12":"tag-patients"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Estonia, also the &quot;home&quot;
