Empowercare
Background: Communities are increasingly seen as the preferred context to organize care and interprofessional collaboration. The primary goal of community-based care is to enable people to live at home longer, delaying or preventing hospitalization of (vulnerable) people by focusing on organizing care in a familiar environment which benefits both physical and mental wellbeing. Community-based care demands that people with a need for care and supp…
Co-creating and evaluating the potential of digital neighborhood platforms for healthcare and social professionals
Background: The governmental Caring Neighborhoods initiative in Flanders (Belgium) is a driver for the exploration of collaboration between informal actors (citizens, families, neighbors, informal caregivers, ...) and professional actors (healthcare, social care, housing, culture, ...). Several neighborhoods advance a digital neighbourhood platform as a means of communication, participation, and matchmaking between people who want and offer neigh…
Advancing a Systemic Perspective on Multidisciplinary Teams
The systemic view adopted in this study yields a better understanding of multidisciplinary teams through the concept of work organisation. The actual composition of multidisciplinary teams, and the related working and therapeutic relationships will vary depending on the type of underlying work organisation. Further validation of this conclusion will be needed in other settings

Mapping care fragmentation in terms of task division / Fragmentación del Mapeo del cuidado en términos de división de tareas
Introduction:Fragmentation is a major challenge for healthcare.The lines of fragmentation run between primary, secondary and tertiary care, between social and health care, between mental and physical care, between different categories of caregivers, Especially the delivery of chronic care suffers as the broad array of necessary care activities crosses the lines of fragmentation.A key driver of care fragmentation is the way tasks are divided withi…
Organisational structures and integrated care. An evaluation of interventions in ten care organisations
Introduction: Research on integrated care utilises different definitions of integrated care and, in general, not much attention is given to the role of organisational structures with regard to the implementation of integrated care. Nevertheless, organisational structure represents a key concept in the field of organisation studies. Organisational structures represent the standards for organising and coordinating work. As such, organisational stru…
Integrating care in FIanders (Belgium)
Introduction:The sustainability of the Flemish health system is under pressure of demographic and economic factors.This position is exacerbated by poor coordination of care provision for people with chronic health problems, difficulties in spreading innovations, and inefficient use of resources.Integrated care is seen as an important approach towards more demand-driven and cost-conscious health systems.In November 2013, a 4-year research project …
A serious game on job quality of care professionals / Un juego serio en la trabajo de los profesionales del cuidado
Background: Integrated care relies on the efforts of committed and healthy care professionals. Karasek’s Job Demand / Control model predicts the possible impact of job characteristics on job quality. People from practice, such as care professionals, tend to find this conceptual model rather abstract. Gamification may help to educate care professionals in the model by letting them experience jobs with differing characteristics in a game context. L…
Analysing hydra-headed integrated care
Given that integrated care includes many different aspects, a study of how integration of care can be best be developed calls for an equally integrated research approach. The CORTEXS research project on integrated care in Flanders (Belgium) has developed a research design that takes (part of) this multi-facetedness and complexity into account. The research design involves multiple disciplines, levels of analysis, and methods. (1) The multidiscipl…
