(30) There is no definition of what constitutes hospital care throughout the different health systems of the Community, and different interpretations could therefore constitute an obstacle to the freedom for patients to receive healthcare. In order to overcome that obstacle, it is necessary to provide a Community definition of hospital care. Hospital care generally means care requiring the overnight accommodation of the patient. However, it may be appropriate to submit to the same regime of hospital care also certain other kinds of healthcare, if that healthcare requires use of highly specialised and cost-intensive medical infrastructure or medical equipment (e.g. high-technology scanners used for diagnosis) or involving treatments presenting a particular risk for the patient or the population (e.g. treatment of serious infectious diseases). A rRegularly updated national lists of such treatments shall be specifically defined by the Commission through the comitology procedureMember States themselves.
