Minder materniteiten lijkt me nu niet echt een goed idee…
Sounds reasonable, but stuff like this is so complex and over my head that I can’t form an opinion lmao.
Will probably have a direct impact on my job. Interested to see the details of his plan.
Lowering the amount of tests seems to be a good idea. It’s quite obvious that it is getting abused. Hope they’ll make it foolproof. Don’t underestimate doctors and their pockets.
Moving towards ‘day-care’ will cut deep. Their current ‘laagvariabele zorg’ system is hardly paying the bills, and I don’t expect any different for wider application. There’s also an ethical side to this.. sacrifice patient needs for finance is a difficult balance.
No idea how they’re gonna pull off the last point. Good luck with that I say ^^
I’m kind of worried about the fixed amount per diagnosis. I mean, some diseases are so complex, I can’t imagine 1 fixed budget and thus also a more one size fits all for diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, CVA, neuropsychological revalidation, psychiatric care,…
Are we evolving to the Dutch model of ’This diagnosis means x sessions of treatment a, or y sessions of treatment b, and if necessary z sessions of treatment c can be added and we won’t pay for anything more, but if you can pay it yourself, be our guest’?
Also… ’rewarding for quality’ is all nice and dandy but when you really take a look at what this means, it means that hospitals in wealthy regions with a wealthy patient population who are already in newer buildings will probably get more money than a hospital in a poorer neighbourhood, in older buildings with a rather problematic patient population, which is just a vicious cycle.
I’m sure putting minister “let’s burn what’s left of our Augusta bribes” Vandenbroucke in charge of the budget is a great idea
