Background

My names is Lavinia Panait. I am from Romania  and I started my career in 1999, as consultant, in a Health Insurance Company. At present, I am working at National School of Public Health and Health Services Management, in the Department of post-graduate training in public health, administration and health management. I am a specialist in public health and health management and at my work place I am involved in curriculum development for health management courses, teaching communication module and coordinating Health Promotion module in the health management course for health managers.
 I am applying in this programme,  because I wish to improve my knowledge in public health, to learn varied teaching methods and to transfer the learnt lessons in this course to my trainees of The National School of Public Health and Health Services Management from Romania.
At the same time Europhamili training module offers me the opportunity to see how the health systems of the other countries from Europe are managed and controlled and to develop necessary interpersonal skills for working on a trans-national level.
It is also a challenge for me to exchange experiences and knowledge with my colleagues from other  European countries.

Analysis of the Early Flexible Discharge Programme and its outcomes at the Sagesse maternity – Rennes in a European perspective

In French maternities, as in many European countries, there is a special attention for the improving maternity care, in order to assure a good health status for both the mother and her child. In the same time, there is tendency to propose an early discharge, if both the mother and child‘s status and the environment allow it, in order to decrease the length of hospital stay.

In this context our study analyzes in a European perspective, the personalized early discharge project implemented at the Sagesse clinic from Rennes – France.

The objectives of this study were to see how is organized this kind of early discharge, to identify negative and positive points in its functioning and to analyze the satisfaction of the patients and the professionals involved.

To reach our aim we used as methodology interviews with key persons involved in the project and also literature review.

As results obtained we found that the monitoring scheme in this personalized discharge is easy and flexible, clearly based on free choice of women; the patient’s and professional’s satisfaction is high, whilst the economic benefits obtained are not important.
