Empowering Care Workers Through Digital Innovation
Nursing home employees frequently face disturbances during their work without adequate support or knowledge to address them (Vermeerbergen e.a, 2021). Examples are: someone falls, medication is missing, resident information is incomplete. The CARECONNEX project addresses the critical need for efficient management of disturbances (Dessers e.a., 2023) to enhance care worker autonomy and excellence in integrated care delivery in nursing homes. The p…
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

Applying Large Scale Intervention methodologies for (re)designing Integrated Care Systems
Introduction: The multidisciplinary CORTEXS (“Care Organisation: a Re-Thinking EXpedition in search for Sustainability”) research project studies integrated care in Flanders (Belgium). A phased approach was devised in order to link fundamental research with strategic valorisation of the research results. The first phase comprises the development of a taxonomy of integrated care. The second phase involves comparative case studies. While taxonomy d…
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…
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…
A look into the work of care professionals
Introduction:The Care Living Labs programme in Flanders (Belgium) supports projects in which innovations in older adult care are tested in real life.Although the primary target group consists of older adults, care professionals are inherently part of care innovations.The study consists of three steps: (1) document analysis of the living lab project plans; (2) survey on job quality and relational coordination among care professionals; (3) interact…

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…

Worker agency and trade union renewal
Contrary to predictions of continued weakness of the union movement in post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe, in recent years Polish trade unions have undertaken various revitalisation attempts, including campaigns to organise unions in the private sector. Although the existing literature accounts for this internal union transformation by referring to macrosocial and institutional factors, this article suggests that the emerging …
Unionism and Workers' Strategies in Capitalist Transformation
This article reassesses recent debates on labour weakness in Central and Eastern Europe after the end of `actually existing socialism', examining the relationship between workers' life strategies and the development of trade unionism in Poland. Biographical interviews with workers reveal three distinct patterns of coping with social change, structural conditions and their relationship to workers' activity in unions. It is suggested that recent si…

Seeking the Balance between Flexibility and Security
Belgian policy-makers are coming to regard the Netherlands as a ‘model’. Belgian observers commenting on the ‘Dutch miracle’ frequently refer to the greater flexibility of the deployment of labour. The share taken by temporary employment is indeed much lower in Belgium. The OECD links this ‘shortfall’ to an excess of protective regulations (Belgosclerosis). In this paper we critically evaluate the theoretical arguments cited for relaxing the righ…
Toward Less Division of Labor? New Production Concepts in the Automotive, Chemical, Clothing, and Machine Tool Industries
In this contribution, we focus on the results of the Belgian Trend Study. The intention of this study was to examine the prevalence of new production concepts within the widest possible range of companies in the automotive, the machine tool, the chemical, and the clothing industries. The Trend Study aimed to answer the following questions: is the Taylorist division of labor a thing of the past? What are the alternatives? Are shifts in the divisio…
