OSOBE S INVALIDITETOM – TEST PRISTUPAČNOSTI SUSTAVA ZDRAVSTVA

Pristupačna gradnja je prihvatljiva i predstavlja izravno investiranje u vrijednost građevina u sustavu zdravstva, jer se klasično građene građevine koriste i dulje od 80 godina. Gradnja pristupačnih građevina u mnogim je članicama Europske unije potpomognuta i dodatnim fi nancijskim sredstvima. Provođenje odredbi za poboljšanje kvalitete života osoba s invaliditetom (OSI) u RH usklađeno je s međunarodnim standardima. Ti standardi uključuju temeljno načelo ljudskih prava, a to je načelo nediskriminacije. Kako bi se postiglo navedeno načelo nužno je osigurati pristupačnost sustava zdravstva osobama s trajnim ili privremenim invaliditetom te senzornim, intelektualnim i psiho-socijalnim teškoćama. Pristupačnost sustava zdravstva uključuje uz prostornu i “specijalističku” pristupačnost po odjelima, zdravstvenim jedinicama/ ustanovama, kako bi sustavi zdravstva mogli pružili sveobuhvatnu zdravstvenu uslugu OSI. U osiguravanju pristupačnosti sustava zdravstva osobama s invaliditetom značajna je uloga mnogih dionika u gradnji i intersektorska suradnja. Prvi korak u realizaciji pristupačnosti sustava zdravstva osobama s invaliditetom jest utvrditi stanje pristupačnosti sustava zdravstva OSI. U tu svrhu potrebno je izraditi alate, tehnike i tehnologije za procjenu i kasniju evaluaciju. Osnovni dio alata je upitnik samoprocjene (samoevaluacije) pristupačnosti sustava zdravstva OSI sukladno zakonskim propisima, izrada IT programa za obradu podataka prikupljenih probirom te izrada akcijskog plana za uspostavu i evaluaciju pristupačnosti sustava zdravstva OSI. Uspostava mehanizama samoprocjene pristupačnosti sustava zdravstva OSI kao konačan rezultat imat će unaprjeđenje neovisnosti i kvalitete življenja OSI, ali i kvalitete i učinkovitosti sustava zdravstva pružanjem zdravstvenih usluga primjerenih potrebama.
Accessible construction is acceptable and represents direct investment in the infrastructure, as well in the healthcare system, while the infrastructure is used for more than 80 years. In many EU Member States, construction of accessible buildings has been supported by additional fi nancial resources. Implementation of the framework for the quality of life improvement of persons with disabilities in the Republic of Croatia is in line with international standards. These include the principles of fundamental human rights, i.e. the principle of non-discrimination. In order to achieve this principle, it is necessary to provide access to healthcare system to persons with permanent or temporary disabilities and sensory, intellectual and psychosocial diffi culties. Accessibility of the healthcare system includes both spatial availability and ‘specialized’ (medical services and equipment) availability within departments, health units and institutions, with the main goal to provide comprehensive healthcare service for people with disabilities. Very important is the role of stakeholders in the construction industry and intersectional co-operation. The fi rst step in achieving accessible healthcare system for people with disabilities is to assess and defi ne the level of accessibility of healthcare institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the tools, techniques and technologies for assessment and subsequent evaluation in accordance with legal regulations, such as questionnaire for (self)assessment of the accessibility of healthcare institutions for persons with disabilities, and an IT program for data processing. This can lead to development of an action plan, i.e. framework for improvement of accessibility of healthcare institutions for persons with disabilities. As the ultimate result of the establishment of this process, the healthcare system will increase its accessibility to persons with disability and enhance their independence and quality of life. It will also improve the overall system quality and effi ciency through provision of appropriate healthcare services.
