Online-Tagung: Migration und Pflege

USA - 21.10.2005 - von AARP

Die Amerikaner sind mal wieder ein Stück weiter. Während bei uns mit Mühe und Not die Qualität der Pflege zu einem öffentlichen Thema geworden ist, findet im Oktober in Washington ein Kongress von AARP statt, auf dem zum einen der Einfluss diskutiert wird, den die zunehmende Zahl internationaler MitarbeiterInnen in der Pflege hat. Zum anderen wird gefragt, ob der Personalmangel in der Pflege durch Migration gelöst werden soll/kann. (Pflegeroboter sind in Arbeit)

Program Description:
In recent years, the difficulty in attracting and retaining healthcare workers particularly in long-term care settings has dramatically increased. Long-term care settings and healthcare employers in developed countries have attracted a growing number of international workers from developing countries to address these critical shortages. The AARP International Conference will address the critical workforce shortages in long-term care systems and explore the potential causes and existing patterns of international migration of workers to work in developed countries. The international conference will also consider the impact on quality of care and address the key policy issues and challenges in both developed and developing countries raised by this migration.
