Antecedentes
El Código de Prácticas Mundial de la OMS sobre Contratación Internacional de Personal de Salud («el Código»), adoptado en 2010 por la 63.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud (resolución WHA63.16), tiene por objeto fortalecer la comprensión y la gestión ética de la contratación internacional de personal de salud a través de la mejora de los datos, la información y la cooperación internacional.
En el artículo 7 del Código se alienta a los Estados Miembros de la OMS a intercambiar información sobre la contratación y migración internacionales de personal de salud. El Director General de la OMS tiene el mandato de presentar informes cada tres años a la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.
En mayo de 2022 los Estados Miembros de la OMS concluyeron la cuarta ronda de presentación de informes nacionales. Ese mismo mes, el Director General de la OMS informó a la 75.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud (A75/14). sobre los progresos logrados en la aplicación del Código. En dicho informe se subrayaba la necesidad de evaluar las repercusiones de la emigración de personal de salud en el contexto de las vulnerabilidades adicionales debidas a la pandemia de COVID-19. A tal efecto, se volvió a convocar al Grupo Consultivo de Expertos Encargado de Examinar la Pertinencia y Eficacia del Código (A73/9). A raíz de las recomendaciones del Grupo Consultivo de Expertos, la Secretaría ha publicado la Lista de la OMS para el Apoyo y la Salvaguardia del Personal de Salud 2023.
El instrumento nacional de presentación de informes (NRI, por sus siglas en inglés) es un instrumento de autoevaluación en el país para el intercambio de información y el seguimiento del Código. El NRI permite a la OMS recopilar e intercambiar los datos e información actualmente disponibles sobre la contratación y migración internacionales de personal de salud. Las constataciones de la quinta ronda de presentación de informes nacionales se presentarán al Consejo Ejecutivo (156.ª reunión) en enero de 2025, en preparación para la 78.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.
El plazo para presentar informes finaliza el 31 de agosto de 2024.
En virtud del artículo 9, el Director General tiene el mandato de presentar informes periódicos a la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud sobre el examen de la eficacia del Código para alcanzar los objetivos enunciados en el mismo, así como propuestas para mejorarlo. En 2024 se convocará un grupo consultivo de expertos para llevar a cabo el tercer examen del Código. El informe del examen se presentará a la 78.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud.

Asuntos actuales en relación con la migración y la movilidad del personal de salud
[Q1x1]
En los tres últimos años, ¿la contratación internacional de personal de salud ha sido motivo de preocupación para su país?
Sí, y la intensidad del problema aumenta
For example: • In December 2023, the federal government adopted a strategic action plan to combat the shortage of skilled workers in Austria and established a strategy committee for international skilled workers at the Federal Minister of Labor and Economy. Representatives of various federal ministries and institutions are members of the strategy committee in order to increase closer cooperation between the relevant bodies. The Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection (BMSGPK) is in charge of setting up a database for foreign qualifications in the care sector at federal level to serve as a contact point for standardized information in official procedures. Additionally, with regard to the recruitment of nursing and healthcare professionals, the BMSGPK is in charge of developing Austrian guidelines based on the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel (see here: https://www.bundeskanzleramt.gv.at/medien/ministerraete/ministerraete-seit-dezember-2021/ulb-79a-1-dez.html). • On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection the new website "www.nursinginaustria.at"; was developed and went online in May 2024. The website serves as a central point of contact for nurses who have completed their training abroad (EU/EEA or third country) and would like to work as a nursing assistant level 1 and level 2 or as a nurse in Austria in the future. The website also serves as a central point of contact for those bodies (federal states/universities of applied sciences) that carry out nostrifications.
[Q1x2]
En los tres últimos años, ¿la dependencia internacional del personal de salud (contratación internacional de personal de salud para satisfacer necesidades internas) ha sido motivo de preocupación para su país?
Sí, y la intensidad del problema aumenta
Several recent studies show that the number of health personnel in need is expected to be increasing in the next years and various solutions are being considered in this context. For example: • According to a recent study initiated by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection almost 17,000 additional nurses will be required by 2030 (over 12,000 in full-time equivalents) to maintain nurse-patient-ratios. By 2050, almost 77,000 additional nurses will be needed (or just under 57,000 in full-time equivalents) (see here: https://jasmin.goeg.at/id/eprint/3378). • There are similar forecast studies for medical technical professions (physiotherapist, biomedical analyst, radiological technologist, dietitian, occupational therapist, logopaedist) (see here: https://jasmin.goeg.at/id/eprint/1789) and for midwives (see here: https://jasmin.goeg.at/id/eprint/3281). • There are also several forecast studies on the (sub-)national development of the supply of doctors until 2030 with focus on general practitioners (e.g. see here: https://jasmin.goeg.at/id/eprint/197).

[Q2x1x1]
2.1.1 Medidas adoptadas para garantizar la sostenibilidad del personal de la salud y asistencial
Prever las necesidades futuras en materia de personal de la salud y asistencial para orientar la planificación
There are many systematic health workforce planning documents and forecasts to investigate the health and care workforce requirements in Austria for different professions and regions and commissioned by various bodies. • For example, the federal states usually commission personnel requirement forecasts to external institutes or companies to monitor and plan training capacities in the nursing and healthcare professions. • On a national level there has been a recent update of a forecast study on health and care workforce planning (update until 2050) with a focus on the nursing professions published by the National Public Health institute (Gesundheit Österreich GmbH) on behalf of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection (see here: URl: https://jasmin.goeg.at/id/eprint/3378). • There are similar forecast studies for medical technical professions (physiotherapist, biomedical analyst, radiological technologist, dietitian, occupational therapist, logopaedist) (see here: https://jasmin.goeg.at/id/eprint/1789) and for midwives (see here: https://jasmin.goeg.at/id/eprint/3281). • There are also several forecast studies on the (sub-)national development of the supply of doctors until 2030 with focus on general practitioners (e.g. see here: https://jasmin.goeg.at/id/eprint/197). • Additionally, a recent Austrian agreement on the organization and financing of the healthcare system includes the following project: For the planning and management of required human resources, a supra-regional and cross-sectoral analysis of the current situation as well as an ongoing forecast of personnel and training requirements in the public healthcare system must be carried out. On this basis cross-sectoral measures are to be implemented. A valid, annually updated database (monitoring) must be ensured, in particular on the number of study and training places, persons in training and practitioners of the legally regulated healthcare professions (see here: https://www.parlament.gv.at/gegenstand/XXVII/I/2317)
Alinear la formación de los trabajadores de la salud y asistenciales del país con las necesidades de los sistemas de salud
• Concerning the nursing professions various innovative educational models in nursing were implemented in order to address the high demand for personnel. For example, educational models in nursing building on partnerships with secondary vocational schools as well as apprenticeship trainings in the nursing assistance professions have been developed and are being tested and evaluated. Concerning the initial education for nurses an upgrade from secondary level to universities of applied sciences is completed in 2024. There are various study locations in Austria, including in rural areas. • Moratorium on the unrestricted access to study medicine: Favourable admission to medical schools for Austrian citizens over other EU-citizens; • Concerning other health care professions like medical technical professions (physiotherapist, biomedical analyst, radiological technologist, dietitian, occupational therapist, logopaedist) or midwives, study programs are offered by universities of applied sciences at various study locations in Austria, including some in rural areas. • A Federal Target-Based Governance Agreement was first concluded in 2013 (and has been renewed and extended since then) where key players of the Austrian Health Care System jointly defined financial and health targets together with measures for achieving them. One set of measures aims to make general practice more attractive and also focuses on education and training in this context (see here: https://www.sozialministerium.at/Themen/Gesundheit/Gesundheitssystem/Gesundheitsreform-(Zielsteuerung-Gesundheit)/Zielsteuerung-Gesundheit---Monitoringberichte.html)
Mejorar la calidad de la formación y del personal de salud con arreglo a las necesidades de prestación de servicios
To ensure sustainable, high-quality health care based on service delivery needs, it is necessary to regularly adapt the legal basis of the healthcare professions to new requirements. The Austrian Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection is constantly working on the systematic and periodic adaptation and modernization of legally regulated healthcare professions in Austria and is also involving relevant stakeholders in these processes. The educational institutions (e.g. schools, universities of applied sciences and universities) that train health care professions are constantly taking various measures to ensure sustainable, high-quality health care based on service delivery needs. Austrian universities, where for example medical, dental and pharmacy studies are completed, bear the primary responsibility for quality in all their areas of work, quality assurance and development. Based on the Act on Quality Assurance in Higher Education (HS-QSG), the Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Austria (AQ Austria) is responsible for carrying out accreditation procedures in Austria. Private university colleges, private universities and universities of applied sciences require accreditation as a prerequisite for state recognition. In accrediting a higher education institution, AQ Austria certifies that they have met the prerequisites for accreditation. Additionally, the AQ Austria supports higher education institutions in continuous quality enhancement and provides impulses for the further development of the higher education system. It also contributes to providing transparent information about the quality of higher education institutions in their service areas. (see further: https://www.aq.ac.at/en/).
Crear oportunidades de empleo con arreglo a las necesidades de la población en materia de salud
For example: • With the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the European Commission aims to support the EU member states in cushioning the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and making Europe stronger and more resilient in the long term. Thanks to funding from the European Commission as part of the Austrian Recovery and Resilience Plan, around 116 pilot projects on community nursing are being implemented in Austria (see further: https://www.bundeskanzleramt.gv.at/eu-aufbauplan/projekte/community-nursing.html). Community nurses are represented in all regions according to the urban-rural typology of Statistics Austria. Following international examples, community nurses in Austria should be needs-oriented and close to the population at community level. The service is aimed at older people living at home with an imminent or existing need for information, advice, care and/or support, as well as their caring relatives and families. A central element of this is the preventive home visit for people aged 75 and over. The aim is to strengthen the health literacy of the population, improve well-being and enable older people to remain in their own homes, not least by strengthening the self-help of those affected and their relatives. Additionally with the project migration out of the municipality is prevented and the data situation in the municipality is improved. (see also: www.cn-oesterreich.at; https://www.sozialministerium.at/Themen/Pflege/Community-Nursing.html) • It is a major objective in Austria to strengthen primary care in order to ensure effective, sustainable and efficient healthcare and medical care. Strengthening primary care is also supported with funds from the European Commission as part of the Austrian Recovery and Resilience Plan (see further: https://www.bundeskanzleramt.gv.at/eu-aufbauplan/projekte/primaerversorgung-erste-anlaufstelle-im-gesundheitssystem.html). Multi-professional and interdisciplinary primary care units are currently being established throughout Austria as an innovative form of primary care. In primary health care units general practitioners and qualified nurses work together in the core team. Depending on individual requirements in the area the teams are usually complemented by various other health care professionals like for example specialised doctors in pediatrics, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, dietitians and social workers (see further: https://primaerversorgung.gv.at/).

The website also serves as a central point of contact for those bodies (federal states/universities of applied sciences) that carry out nostrifications.
Mejorar la gestión del personal de salud
For example: • A recent Austrian agreement on the organization and financing of the healthcare system includes the following project which can lead to an improved general management of health personnel within the public healthcare system: For the planning and management of required human resources, a supra-regional and cross-sectoral analysis of the current situation as well as an ongoing forecast of personnel and training requirements in the public healthcare system must be carried out. On this basis cross-sectoral measures are to be implemented. A valid, annually updated database (monitoring) must be ensured, in particular on the number of study and training places, persons in training and practitioners of the legally regulated healthcare professions (see here: https://www.parlament.gv.at/gegenstand/XXVII/I/2317.) • Improvements of health personnel management on an individual level: There are various further education courses or training programs for healthcare professionals in Austria who want to pursue a career in healthcare management like for example master’s degrees in health care management or specialization programs for nurses preparing for management tasks such as management of the nursing service at a hospital.
Disposiciones específicas sobre la reglamentación y contratación de personal de salud durante las emergencias
For example: • During the COVID-19 pandemic several regulations were established in order to facilitate foreign-trained health professionals to work in Austria. • Foreign-trained health professionals were able to work in their profession before undergoing compensation measures according to their decision on nostrification / recognition. • A nationwide health profession register has started in July 2018. 11 health care professions need to register before being authorised to exercise their professions. Their contact details are recorded in order to be able to contact them in case of emergencies. During the COVID-19 pandemic the obligatory registration in the nationwide health profession register was suspended in order to facilitate foreign-trained health professionals to work in Austria.

One set of measures aims to increase the attractiveness of training facilities for medical students and postgraduates in rural and structurally weak regions.
Ingreso de alumnos procedentes de comunidades y zonas rurales/insuficientemente atendidas
For example: • Concerning the nursing professions various innovative educational models in nursing were implemented in order to address the high demand for personnel. For example, educational models in nursing building on partnerships with secondary vocational schools as well as apprenticeship trainings in the nursing assistance professions have been developed and are being tested and evaluated. There are study and training locations all throughout Austria, including rural areas. • Concerning other health care professions like medical technical professions (physiotherapist, biomedical analyst, radiological technologist, dietitian, occupational therapist, logopedist) or midwives, study programs are offered by universities of applied sciences at various study locations in Austria, including some in rural areas.
Becas y subvenciones de educación
For example the following measures: • There are various subnational grants, scholarships and education subsidies for students in health professions in Austria, including some with return of service agreements. • Additionally, a new law „Pflegeausbildungs-Zweckzuschussgesetz, PAusbZG“ is intended to improve the financial situation of people completing training in the fields of nursing and care, thereby making nursing training more attractive. The law (PAusbZG) was passed in July 2022. The federal government pays special purpose grants to the federal states. The grants are used for monthly training contributions of at least € 600,-- for trainees in certain health and care professions like nursing profession and nursing assistance level 1 and 2 for their entire training period to secure their livelihood. (see here: https://www.sozialministerium.at/Themen/Pflege/Pflegepersonal.html) • E.g.: Federal state specific scholarship: The „Burgenland Medical Scholarship“ is a regular (monthly) financial support for students of human medicine, which is intended to make it easier for them to complete their studies. In return, the recipients commit themselves to work in the federal state of Burgenland for 5 years after completing their studies. (see also: https://www.burgenland.at/themen/gesundheit/medizinerinnen-und-medizinerfoerderungen/burgenlaendisches-medizin-stipendium-bms/)
Temas/planes de estudios pertinentes en los programas de formación y/o desarrollo profesional
For example: • Thanks to funding from the European Commission as part of the Austrian Recovery and Resilience Plan, around 116 pilot projects on community nursing are being implemented in Austria. Community nurses are represented in all regions according to the urban-rural typology of Statistics Austria. A special training series mainly for community nurses with focus on health needs in communities and also in rural areas has been developed. (see also: www.cn-oesterreich.at; https://www.sozialministerium.at/Themen/Pflege/Community-Nursing.html) • The Early Childhood Interventions Programme in Austria provides e-learning for certain health care professions on all aspects of early intervention. Since 2015, regional networks for early childhood interventions (so-called "Frühe-Hilfen-Netzwerke") have been widespread in Austria. The roll-out was completed in autumn 2023 and regional networks are now available in all Austrian districts. The main objective of the Austrian model is to reach and support families in need (due to stressful living conditions or circumstances) during pregnancy or in the first three years of a child. “Frühe Hilfen” follows a multi-professional as well as multi-sectoral approach (investing in networking esp. with services from the health and social sector) to support families in raising healthy children. The programme is voluntary and ensures access of families through direct contact and through professionals, such as health and social workers, who can identify and refer them. (see: https://nzfh.at/english-information)
(Re)orientación de los programas de educación hacia la atención primaria de salud
It is a major objective in Austria to strengthen primary care in order to ensure effective, sustainable and efficient healthcare and medical care. Various post gradual or continuing education programmes with focus on primary health care have been developed in the last few years in Austria (see also: https://primaerversorgung.gv.at/weiterbildungen-der-primarversorgung).

Ampliación del ámbito de ejercicio profesional del personal de salud existente
• In order to ensure sustainable, high-quality health care based on service delivery needs, it is necessary to regularly adapt the legal basis of the healthcare professions to new requirements. The Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection is constantly working on the systematic and periodic adaptation and modernization of legally regulated healthcare professions in Austria, including enhancing scope of practice if necessary and suitable for the profession. • There is no specific scope of practice for rural areas, but health professions can be working to the top of scope of practice in rural areas.
Distribución de tareas entre profesiones diferentes
For example: • Ongoing reorganisation of skill and grade mix in various settings for the nursing professions following an amendment to the Austrian Act on Nursing Care (including adaptations of scope of practice in nursing professions in 2024); • Various measures have been taken in order to expand Primary Health Care in rural areas, including the establishment of multi-professional and interdisciplinary primary care units throughout Austria as an innovative form of primary care.

Reembolso financiero adicional
For example the following measures: • There is a new law „Entgelterhöhungs-Zweckzuschussgesetz (EEZG)“ that aims to ensure better pay for nursing and care staff. The federal government pays special purpose grants to the federal states. The special-purpose grants are used for pay increases in the nursing and care sector. (see also: https://www.sozialministerium.at/Themen/Pflege/Pflegepersonal.html) • Recently a start-up bonus of up to € 100,000,-- has been provided for 100 newly created doctor's positions or for doctor’s positions that are difficult to fill, e.g. in remote areas in general medicine, pediatrics, adolescent medicine and gynecology. • There are also federal state specific measures for making GP practice more attractive like start-up funding for GP positions.
Oportunidades de educación
• There are various subnational scholarships and education subsidies and implacement foundations for healthcare professions in Austria, including some with return of service agreements. • The universities of applied sciences offer various study locations in Austria, including some in rural areas for various health professions. • A Federal Target-Based Governance Agreement was first concluded in 2013 (and has been renewed and extended since then) where key players of the Austrian Health Care System jointly defined financial and health targets together with measures for achieving them (see here: https://www.sozialministerium.at/Themen/Gesundheit/Gesundheitssystem/Gesundheitsreform-(Zielsteuerung-Gesundheit)/Zielsteuerung-Gesundheit---Monitoringberichte.html). One set of measures aims to increase the attractiveness of training facilities for medical students and postgraduates in rural and structurally weak regions. For example, one specific project in the federal state of Styria is called „Landarztzukunft“ („Future country doctor“): The Landarztzukunft project is an initiative of the Institute of General Practice and Evidence-Based Health Services Research at the Medical University of Graz to counteract the shortage of GPs, which is particularly prevalent in rural areas by inspiring students to become a rural doctor. In this project, three to five medical students live together in free accommodation during their internship with a country doctor, share an e-car and can take part in leisure activities and training events offered.
Oportunidades de promoción de las perspectivas de carrera o de crecimiento profesional
For example: • Paid educational leave and paid part-time educational leave allow employees to take advantage of training and further education measures in a flexible manner. • Permeability in education and training in nursing professions and other health care professions. • Thanks to funding from the European Commission as part of the Austrian Recovery and Resilience Plan, there are projects to implement community nurses in Austria and to strengthen primary healthcare by establishing multi-professional and inter-disciplinary primary care units in Austria. These projects are also opportunities for career advancement for health care professionals (for example with subsidies for further education or training, by creating jobs or by start-up financing).

Healthcare professionals in Austria need formal recognition/nostrification as they are regulated professions for which statutory requirements exist and professional practice is only possible through formal proof of certain qualifications. Various measures have been taken to facilitate the process of professional recognition in Austria.
Reconocimiento social
For example: • A recent Austrian agreement on the organization and financing of the healthcare system includes the following project: In order to ensure the sustainability and attractiveness of the healthcare professions, a comprehensive package of measures is to be jointly developed and implemented by the target management partners by the end of 2024 at the latest (see here: https://www.parlament.gv.at/gegenstand/XXVII/I/2317). • There are various (sub-)national image campaigns for certain health care professions to attract career starters, career changers and returnees from various target groups. • Various (sub-)national measures are being undertaken in order to strengthen the professional image of general practitioners within the medical profession and spreading information on the advantages of becoming a general practitioner. • E.g. Good practice award for community nursing (see here: https://cn-oesterreich.at/gewinnerprojekte-good-practice-award-2024)
Oportunidad de vías de acceso a la residencia permanente y/o la ciudadanía para el personal de salud internacional
For qualified third country workers (all citizens of countries that are not members of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Swiss citizens) and their family members a flexible immigration model, the Red-White-Red Card, offers a single permit for working and settling permanently in Austria. Third-country citizen may apply for a Red-White-Red Card as a Skilled Worker in a Shortage Occupation valid for 24 months under specific circumstances. With the Austrian Shortage Occupation List various health care professions are deemed shortage profession (see also: Skilled Workers in Shortage Occupations (migration.gv.at)). Healthcare professionals need formal recognition/nostrification as they are regulated professions for which statutory requirements exist and professional practice is only possible through formal proof of certain qualifications.

For example concerning the nursing professions (see here: https://nursinginaustria.at/en/general-requirements): • High demand and varied career opportunities: Currently, there are many job openings for nursing professionals on the Austrian job market. New career paths have emerged, such as community nursing or school nursing. Investments in education and the expansion of competencies within the field of nursing characterize recent developments in Austrian healthcare. • Relief week: Nurses and nursing assistants at levels 2 and 1 who have reached the age of 43 receive an additional relief week, regardless of how long they have been working for their employer. • Night shift compensation: Staff working in long-term inpatient care facilities receive two hours of time credit per night shift. • Facilitated recognition for foreign nurses: The recognition process for foreign qualifications has been streamlined. Nurses now have easier access to the Red-White-Red Card for work permits. • Permeability in education and training in nursing professions.; There is also a large number of federal state specific measures for making GP practice more attractive like job-sharing models, mentoring programs or the granting of start-up funding for GP positions. In addition, measures are being taken to further develop the GP on-call service in terms of working hours and remuneration models.
Condiciones de vida decentes y seguras
For example • Some institutions provide staff-housing or support in finding flats for health professionals. In some federal states, doctors in basic training are for example offered affordable accommodation in rural regions, and some clinic locations also offer childcare in their own kindergartens. Joint leisure activities facilities are available at some clinics.
Oportunidades de aprendizaje a distancia/aprendizaje electrónico
For example: • Some educational institutions offer further education for health professionals that are mostly or partly completed online (e.g. courses for „Advanced nursing practice“ or „Primary health care“). • The Early Childhood Interventions Programme in Austria provides e-learning for certain health care professions on all aspects of early intervention. Since 2015, regional networks for early childhood interventions (so-called "Frühe-Hilfen-Netzwerke") have been widespread in Austria. The roll-out was completed in autumn 2023 and regional networks are now available in all Austrian districts. The main objective of the Austrian model is to reach and support families in need (due to stressful living conditions or circumstances) during pregnancy or in the first three years of a child. “Frühe Hilfen” follows a multi-professional as well as multi-sectoral approach (investing in networking esp. with services from the health and social sector) to support families in raising healthy children. The programme is voluntary and ensures access of families through direct contact and through professionals, such as health and social workers, who can identify and refer them. (see here: https://nzfh.at/english-information) • Thanks to funding from the European Commission as part of the Austrian Recovery and Resilience Plan, around 116 pilot projects on community nursing are being implemented in Austria. A special training series mainly for community nurses with focus on health needs in communities and also in rural areas has been developed.

For example:
• In December 2023, the federal government adopted a strategic action plan to combat the shortage of skilled workers in Austria and established a strategy committee for international skilled workers at the Federal Minister of Labor and Economy. Representatives of various federal ministries and institutions are members of the strategy committee in order to increase closer cooperation between the relevant bodies. The Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection (BMSGPK) is in charge of setting up a database for foreign qualifications in the care sector at federal level to serve as a contact point for standardized information in official procedures. Additionally, with regard to the recruitment of nursing and healthcare professionals, the BMSGPK is in charge of developing Austrian guidelines based on the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel (see here: https://www.bundeskanzleramt.gv.at/medien/ministerraete/ministerraete-seit-dezember-2021/ulb-79a-1-dez.html).
• For the nursing professions: On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection the new website "www.nursinginaustria.at" was developed and went online in May 2024. The website serves as a central point of contact for nurses who have completed their training abroad (EU/EEA or third country) and would like to work as a nursing assistant level 1 or level 2 or as a nurse in Austria in the future.
The website also serves as a central point of contact for those bodies (federal states/universities of applied sciences) that carry out nostrifications. For the authorities, the information on the website serves to simplify and standardize the process. The database bundles knowledge and provides information. The aim is to achieve a common perspective in the assessment of foreign training courses, particularly for nurses.

Marque todos los elementos pertinentes de la siguiente lista:
5.1 Se han tomado medidas, o se está considerando tomarlas, para introducir cambios en las leyes o las políticas sobre el personal de salud con el fin de adecuarlas a las recomendaciones del Código.
In 2017 the Federal Act on the Registration of Healthcare Professions was passed in Austria. According to the Act, health personnel of 11 health care professions need to register before being authorised to exercise their professions. The register operates in addition to other health care professions‘ registers that already dispose of registration data. The register started to operate in July 2018 and was completed for all health professionals who already practice their professions by the end of 2019. Since 2019 new entrants to the labour market are continuously added to the register. Entry in the register of healthcare professionals is valid for five years. After this period, the professional license must be renewed. The first renewal wave is currently taking place.
5.2 Se han tomado medidas para comunicar e intercambiar información entre distintos sectores sobre la contratación y migración internacionales de personal de salud, así como para dar a conocer el Código entre los ministerios, departamentos y organismos pertinentes, a nivel nacional y/o subnacional.
• In 2015 the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection informed the Federal States in Austria about the WHO Code and asked them to spread the information in all relevant regional institutions in the health care sector and to take into account the recommendations concerning the ethical international recruitment of health personnel. • In order to additionally spread information about the WHO Code nationwide a report on the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel of the Austrian National Public Health Institute (Gesundheit Österreich GmbH) was published on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection in January 2016. • With regard to the recruitment of nursing and healthcare professionals, the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection is currently in charge of developing Austrian guidelines based on the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel (see here: https://www.bundeskanzleramt.gv.at/medien/ministerraete/ministerraete-seit-dezember-2021/ulb-79a-1-dez.html).
5.3 Se han tomado medidas para consultar con las partes interesadas en los procesos de toma de decisiones y/o para que participen en otras actividades relacionadas con la contratación internacional de personal de salud.

Representatives of various federal ministries and institutions are members of the Strategy Committee in order to increase closer cooperation between the relevant bodies. • Measures concerning the nursing professions: An interactive guide on the new website www.nursinginaustria.at directs to the relevant authorities for a nostrification or recognition. By involving relevant stakeholders, working together on the website‘s content and sharing experiences, problems can be identified, analysed and solutions can be found. The aim is to speed up the nostrification process in the long term and achieve greater uniformity in the process through mutual learning. Depending on the nursing profession, nostrification and recognition procedures are carried out either by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection, Austrian universities of applied sciences or by the local offices of the regional government responsible for such matters.

Responsabilidades, derechos y prácticas de contratación
[Q7]
Si su país emplea/acoge a personal de salud internacional para trabajar en los sectores de la salud y asistencial, ¿qué garantías jurídicas y/u otros mecanismos se han introducido a favor del personal de salud migrante y para garantizar que tenga los mismos derechos y responsabilidades en el plano jurídico que el personal de salud formado en el país?
Sírvase marcar todos los elementos pertinentes de la siguiente lista:
Sírvase marcar todos los elementos pertinentes de la siguiente lista:
La contratación de personal de salud migrante se realiza mediante prácticas que le ofrecen la posibilidad de evaluar los beneficios y los riesgos asociados a los empleos, y de tomar decisiones oportunas y fundamentadas sobre el empleo.
• On the website www.migration.gv.at, there are all essential information about the Red-White-Red Card, explanations of other requirements for work and settlement and a comprehensive overview of living and working conditions in Austria. • For example concerning the nursing professions, information on working conditions can be found on the new website www.nursinginaustria.at, which informs about the process of nostrification or recognition in Austria and directs to the relevant authorities.
El personal de salud migrante es contratado, ascendido y remunerado con arreglo a criterios objetivos tales como el nivel de calificación, los años de experiencia y el grado de responsabilidad profesional, sobre la base de la igualdad de trato con el personal de salud formado en el país.
For example: Concerning the nursing professions, nostrification and recognition procedures are carried out either by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection, Austrian universities of applied sciences or by the local offices of the regional government responsible for such matters. By creating the new website www.nursinginaustria.at the aim is to speed up the nostrification process in the long term and achieve greater uniformity in the process through mutual learning.
El personal de salud migrante tiene las mismas oportunidades que el personal de salud formado en el país para fortalecer su educación, sus calificaciones y su desarrollo profesionales.
As soon as the process of recognition of professional qualification is completed, migrant health personnel have the same rights and obligations concerning their professions as the domestically trained health workforce.
Se han introducido mecanismos institucionales para garantizar la migración/movilidad seguras y la integración del personal de salud migrante.
Some examples: • There are various prequalification courses for migrants which are designed to facilitate their entrance into vocational training and professions in the health and care sector. E.g. Project „Migrants care“ (Migrants Care - BAG (freiewohlfahrt.at). • A website of the Austrian Integration Fund – Fund for the integration of refugees and migrants (ÖIF) (https://www.berufsanerkennung.at/en/) provides information on the process of recognition of professional qualifications in various languages. Using an online tool foreign-trained or immigrant health personnel can find the right contact person in just a few steps. • „Mentoring for Migrants” is a joint initiative of the Austrian Integration Fund, the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, and the AMS job market service. The goal is to bring together experienced individuals from the business world – mentors – and people from a migrant background – mentees – and help them become integrated into the Austrian labour market. Mentors and mentees spend about six months working through activities together to enter the labour market. As experienced businesspeople, mentors can give their partners valuable assistance, advice, and put them in touch with the right people (https://www.integrationsfonds.at/weiterbildung/mentoring-fuer-migrantinnen/).
Se han adoptado medidas para promover la migración circular del personal de salud internacional.
In Austria, the practice of circular migration is especially applied for personal assistants from abroad (regulated in the Austrian „Home Care Act“ (Hausbetreuungsgesetz)) although they are by definition no health professionals in Austria.
Otras medidas (en particular jurídicas o administrativas) para garantizar prácticas justas de contratación y empleo del personal de salud formado en el extranjero y/o inmigrante (sírvase dar detalles)
Some examples: • More information on the process of recognition of professional qualifications in English is available for healthcare professionals from abroad on the website of the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research. (https://www.bmbwf.gv.at/en/Topics/Higher-education---universities/Recognition-of-qualifications.html) • More information on the rights of migrants and on the life in Austria and services for migrants in various languages is available on the websites https://www.migrant.at/en/ and https://www.migration.gv.at/en/living-and-working-in-austria/ (website provided across sectors and ministries). • Healthcare professionals from abroad have the opportunity to receive financial support, for example for the documents and translations required for nostrification. (see also: https://www.integrationsfonds.at/der-oeif/presse/detail/oeif-integrationsservice-fuer-fachkraefte-foerdert-ab-sofort-nostrifizierung-mitgebrachter-qualifikationen-im-gesundheitsbereich-19428/) • Concerning the nursing professions: As part of the nursing reform packages, measures were adopted to facilitate nurses with training acquired abroad to the labour market and at the same time ensure the high Austrian quality standards. For example, since 2022 nurses and nursing assistants level 2 with a certificate of nostrification are under specific conditions allowed to practice in the lower-threshold nursing profession (nurses as nursing assistants level 2 and nursing assistants level 2 as nursing assistants level 1) for a limited period of two years until the compensation measures have been completed. Also nursing assistants level 1 with a certificate of nostrification have the opportunity to work under guidance and supervision for a limited period of 2 years until they have completed the compensation measures.

Obstáculos, soluciones y observaciones complementarias
[Q15]
Sírvase enumerar, por orden de prioridad, los tres principales obstáculos a la gestión ética de la migración internacional en su país y proponga posibles soluciones:
| Principales obstáculos | Posibles soluciones/recomendaciones | |
|---|---|---|
| Fragmented responsibilities due to the federal political system in Austria. | • Nationwide statistics (health profession register has started in July 2018); • A Federal Target-Based Governance Agreement was first concluded in 2013 (and has been renewed and extended since then) where key players of the Austrian Health Care System jointly defined financial and health targets together with measures for achieving them (see here: https://www.sozialministerium.at/Themen/Gesundheit/Gesundheitssystem/Gesundheitsreform-(Zielsteuerung-Gesundheit)/Zielsteuerung-Gesundheit---Monitoringberichte.html); • The information on the new website „www.nursinginaustria.at serves the authorities to simplify and standardize the process of recognition and nostrification of nursing professions. The database bundles knowledge and provides information. The aim is to achieve a common perspective in the assessment of foreign training courses, particularly for nurses. | |
| A minimum language proficiency for foreign-trained or immigrant health personnel is required in order to be able to work in Austria. This is an important measure in order to ensure high quality care, but it is also a challenge to ensure that nostrification applicants have sufficient knowledge of German. | • International healthcare and nursing staff must be supported in the language acquisition process and referred to the existing offers in Austria at recognized language schools or relevant language courses. • Healthcare and nursing staff from abroad have the opportunity to receive financial support for language examinations (https://www.integrationsfonds.at/themen/foerderungen/). • Employers shall ensure as far as possible that international healthcare and nursing staff are given sufficient time to prepare for and successfully complete the necessary language courses and language examinations. | |
| Shortage of health workforce is expected to increase and as a result the pressure on the health care system increases. | • Nationwide development of an extensive range of different measures to support recruitment and retention of healthcare workforce. • In December 2023, the federal government adopted a strategic action plan to combat the shortage of skilled workers in Austria and established a strategy committee for international skilled workers at the Federal Ministry of Labor and Economy. Representatives of various federal ministries and institutions are members of the strategy committee in order to increase closer cooperation between the relevant bodies. |
