Project description

Hospitals and other care organisations currently face severe budgetary constraints and staff shortages. At the meantime, there exsist many opportunties in terms of technological innovations and practice based co-operations between primary, secundary and tertiary care. The challenge consists of developing new organisational models for integrated care, that are more cost-efficient and at the same time support better health outcomes for patients.

In this project, new organisational models will be explored, that encompass acute somatic care, chronic care as well as mental healthcare. the implemantation in the broad area of Ghent wil be evaluated.
