This course
This course is especially designed for departments working in a regional hub-and-spoke model, being the expert center in such a network. In this course several strategies to implement and continuously improve regional collaborations are shared. An example of a strategy is building regional disease-oriented quality improvement networks, including referring cardiologists and general practitioners, that define, implement and improve regional care standards. Another example is regional specialization by creating complementary focus clinics, specialized in specific patient groups or parts of the regional patient pathway. Also, participation of the expert center directly in the process of healthcare delivery in the department of a spoke hospital is presented. These collaborative models have been implemented and evaluated, both from perspective of quality and efficiency of healthcare. Project leaders and physicians working in these regional collaborations also share their professional experience.
