Care must be taken

What is the future of rehabilitation organisation, for example when it comes to concentration of care or distribution? Mark Van Houdenhoven clearly sees: care must be concentrated, innovation and new techniques must be embraced. • Care must be taken with care, because competition is ready with new care forms and products, and the patient has access to them via internet. ■ Care must also be provided, as competition is available with new healthcare forms and product, and this is something that the patient can access over the Internet.

 

That knowledge and skills are even more concentrated than they are now, is a necessity, says Van Houdenhoven. . Everyone in the Netherlands understands that this increases the quality of the patient. I do not say that current care is not good, on the contrary. But every village's own hospital or rehabilitation centre, as was an ideal twenty years ago, can no longer be satisfied by the high quality requirements. Patients with complex problems belong to a specialised center. For example, all healthcare providers in the Sint Maartenskliniek, where a quarter of 



Good mix

The professor warns that the concentration of care is also a necessity due to ageing, because of the shortage of staff. . •There is therefore a need for more efficient use of labour. Therefore, all this does not mean that there is only room for specializations. Because then no one has the entire overview, which is certainly important in rehabilitation. ■He recommends a good mix: fewer centres that are more specialised but also wide knowledge. And ensure really good networks, as is already becoming more visible within rehabilitation.


Remote

This concentration can mean that a patient for clinical treatment should find farther away from home Van Houdenhoven cannot be found inexcusable. •Because aftercare, certain forms of treatment, monitoring training etc., technological development can make much more at home, via image contact. The treatment provider can follow remotely. This is already being applied in our country but not yet enough, and it is still seen as innovation. While it really should become a daily reality in the care sector. Healthcare insurers need to support this type of innovation more, with the aim


Smart Innovations

The professor says that the technological possibilities are to be embraced widely. Exactly proven innovations that can significantly improve life. . •Taxers should pay more attention to small, smart innovations. Rather with blocks reduce the stairs, which means that after a stroke someone can still go back up the staft, than a costly staircase lift. About the rehabilitation of the patients, more than is the case now, must be in line with what their rehabilitators want. ♪People are increasingly asking for certain care, which I also welcome.
