Innovator Change Agent. Making change possible through innovation is my brand.
My focus is : Stimulating the use of the capabilities, knowlegde and network to create better Health Care for day-to-day basis, aswell as in disaster setting.
The upcomming changes in the patient/doctor relationship, partially invoked by the internet, will migrate healthcare into a joint-venture of patient/professional. This triggers me almost on a hourly basis. In Dutch Zorg 2.0 (health2.0) reaches far beyond ICT and is in my opinion THE most challenging aspect of healtcare reform in the next 5-10 years.
My focus is to support the professional, since throught them, our reach in patients will be multiplied. Incorperation in the Medicine Curriculum will be one of the major milestones i am heading at.
One of the "tools" to facillitate this proces is an online community for the Emergency Healthcare professionals i've launched. http://www.acutezorg.nl (there's as Google translation button on it. Our conferences http://www.reshape2009.com, and the http://www.health20challenge.com are few other examples.
Building People-networks in i.e. Healthcare, resulting in better understanding and thus better Care. Knowledge of Health 20, E-health, Web 20, Zorg20, disasterhandling proceses, EMS-knowledge, Traumacare, HEMS, LifeLiner3,
Only together we can cope the huge challenge to help the patiënt to change the care into participatory healthcare.
