“Integrated collaboration to meet the needs of citizens.”

Due to decentralisation – governments, healthcare organisations and health insurers are faced with important strategic choices. I believe that an integrated view is needed to really be able to meet the needs of citizens and to organise appropriate care and support together.

Senior Researcher

I am a health services/health system researcher with a Master’s in Public Administration from Erasmus University (2011). I’m also currently a PhD candidate at Tilburg University/TIAS and am involved in several international and national research projects on governance and organisation of integrated healthcare and social care. My work focuses on underlying values and principles of integrated health and social care. In that context, I examine inter-sectoral and inter-organisational collaboration in integrated service delivery.

Because issues in different areas of life are often intertwined, we should not look at them in isolation. Integral, multidisciplinary collaboration often yields better results. In practice, however, integrated cooperation is often still a challenge. I enjoy working with organisations on improvements and new integrated forms of cooperation, from administrative level to professionals in the community. I make use of my practical experience and results from research.
