There is always room for improvement and that also applies to healthcare in the Netherlands. The Best Care Idea competition challenges you to think about how healthcare can be improved. Join us and maybe your idea will be put into practice soon.
For more information or to participate, visit the website of The Best Care Idea.
Some of the ideas that have won in previous years have been put into practice:
– In 2012, Philip Boerebach won with his idea to allow not only general practitioners but also specialists to visit bedridden patients at home. Good for the patient and it saves ambulance rides.
– In 2011, Anja Vissers won with her idea to seal medicines and provide them with a thermometer chip, so that unused medicines can be reused. This week, a pharmacy in Nijmegen started a pilot.
– John Rietman's 2010 idea for healthcare TV has now been realized.
– The shopping package, an idea of Renate Rammeloo from 2009, that patients discharged from hospital is given to discharged patients in various hospitals.
– Marian van der Hoeven's (2008) care coach has become commonplace in the Netherlands.
