How to implement goal-oriented care in primary care? Experiences from 25 primary care organizations in Belgium
Background: Goal-oriented care (GOC) is a concept of care in which the patient’s personal goals are put first in decision making and organising the processes of care and support. Following the principles of GOC, care is organised based on the patient's values and what is important to the patient. GOC is an alternative to the dominating problem-oriented and disease oriented care model and of particular value for the increasing numbers of people wi…
Implementation of Goal-Oriented Care in Belgium
The findings led to recommendations that can guide the implementation of future GOC projects. Effective implementation extends beyond the development and adaptation of tools; it requires translating theoretical concepts into practical application and creating a shared vision on GOC
Primary Care Academy
Introduction and context: The social and healthcare system faces numerous challenges, with primary care playing a key role in achieving universal and equitable health coverage. However, the primary care field often struggles with limited research capacity, activity, and funding. The Primary Care Academy: To address these gaps, the Primary Care Academy (PCA) - a large-scale, innovative, interdisciplinary research and networking organization, encom…
The Influence of Everyday Acoustic Environments on the Challenging Behavior in Dementia
Challenging behavior (CB) is a group of behaviors, reactions and symptoms due to dementia, which can be challenging for the caregivers. The study aims to research the influence of acoustics on CB in people with dementia (PwD). An ethnographic method was used to study the daily life of PwD in their nursing homes with a specific focus on how people react to everyday environmental sounds. Thirty-five residents were included in the sample based on pu…
Reablement in Flanders
Background: The primary care sector in Flanders, Belgium, is undergoing an intense period of reform. To incorporate health, well-being and quality of life, care is shifting from acute disease-oriented care to chronic integrated care. There is a need to reform primary care services more directed to community-based service, targeting person-centered care and self-management of people who receive home care and their systems. Reablement is an approac…
A 360 0 scan of primary care in Flanders
The primary care (PC) in Flanders is going through a transition to realize integrated care (IC). Artevelde University of Applied Sciences (AUAS), as knowledge institution, wants to contribute to a strong PC and undertook a needs analysis incorporating the problems PC-actors are facing and the support AUAS could offer. A stakeholder mapping (e.g. care, welfare actors at micro-, meso- and macrolevel) was executed. 44 in dept interviews were conduct…
Integrated primary care in higher education, a qualitative study about the needs and preferences of lecturers to implement new evidence
Introduction: The policy shift towards stronger primary care systems increases the interest in primary care within different training programs. Implementing new evidence about primary care into education, could be supportive for more integrated and person-centered care. Hence, it could also support the capacity building for integrated primary care. Therefore, the aim of this study is to research if and how lecturers implement new evidence in the …
Goal-oriented care through the eyes of people with chronic conditions
Background: The healthcare system is faced by an increase in chronic conditions and multimorbidity. People with chronic conditions (i.e., ‘patients’) are often confronted with an overload of tasks (e.g., medication management, control visits) prescribed by multiple providers to manage their conditions. As a result, they are at risk of fragmented care. A strategy to integrate the different processes might be to explicitly focus on the patients’ pe…

Introduction: The primary care sector in Flanders, Belgium is undergoing an intense period of reform. Care is shifting from acute, disease oriented care to chronic, integrated care to incorporate health, well-being and quality of life. There is a need to understand and describe the chances for and barriers to reform of primary sector care services Reablement is an approach, or service model, that has been researched to a gold standard in differen…

Movements to involving and empowering communities in decision making for health priorities and interventions varied from instrumentalizes community health worker approaches to bottom-up health policy planning. Especially in …
Putting patients’ goals first
Introduction: Primary care is in constant transformation to optimize integrated care delivery according the increase of people with multiple and long-term care needs. One of the suggested strategies is person centered integrated care (PC-IC). PC-IC has an explicit focus on patients’ personal goals. This should reorient care delivery from the focus on disease oriented quality indicators to outcomes that matter to people. To get this focus on patie…
Strategies for the implementation of Goal Oriented Care through the lens of Valentijn’s Rainbowmodel for integrated care
Short: With the use of the Rainbowmodel of Valentijn as a guide you will discover how to develop an integrated implementation strategy for goal oriented care across the system as a catalyst for person centered system integration. Why: Health systems are in constant transformation to optimize integrated care delivery for patients with complex needs. One of the suggested strategies for person centered integrated care delivery (PC-IC) is an explicit…

The Usefulness of Evaluating Performance of Activities in Daily Living in the Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Disorders
The Assessment of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) is paramount to ensure the accurate early diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders. Unfortunately, the most common ADL tools are limited in their use in a diagnostic process. Hence, we set out to validate a tool to evaluate basic (b-), instrumental (i-), and advanced (a-) ADL called the Brussels Integrated Activities of Daily Living Inventory (BIA). At the geriatric day hospital of the University Ho…
Meaningful activities during Covid-19 lockdown and association with mental health in Belgian adults
The extent of performing meaningful activities during the COVID-19 lockdown in Belgium was positively related to adults' mental health. Insights from this study can be taken into account during future lockdown measures in case of pandemics
Designing Supportive Soundscapes for Nursing Home Residents with Dementia
Sound and its resulting soundscape is a major appraisal component of the living environment. Where environmental sounds (e.g., outdoor traffic sounds) are often perceived as negative, a soundscape (e.g., containing natural sounds) can also have a positive effect on health and well-being. This supportive effect of a soundscape is getting increasing attention for use in practice. This paper addresses the design of a supportive sonic environment for…
Active ageing in the nursing home
Within the Active Ageing context (WHO), enhancing older peoples’ quality of life by focusing on their participation is essential. Although Active Ageing is relevant in nursing homes, the nursing home residents’ autonomy and participation on organizational level are often restricted. New ways to structurally enhance their participation must be found. This article discusses possible contributions of participatory action research as structural metho…
