Experiences From Older Patients Regarding Their Transition From the Acute Hospital to Their Home
Introduction: Improving care transitions through better coordination and understanding patient experiences is essential for enhancing care outcomes. This study aims to explore the perceptions of older patients about their transition from hospital to home. Methods: A phenomenological design was used to explore the experiences of older adults aged 65 and older with at least one chronic condition. Participants (n = 16) were recruited from a geriatri…
Situational Analysis in Flanders
Background: According to the World Health Organization, diabetes directly caused 1.6 million deaths in 2021. Over a decade, the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Belgium increased from 5.4% in 2011 to 6.8% in 2021, with an estimated 400,000 Belgians undiagnosed. The International Diabetes Federation projects that 1 in 8 adults will be diagnosed with diabetes by 2045. This highlights the need for effective management strategies; how…
Integrated depression care (Ideca) project
Background: Depression in Belgium is the number one reason for disability-adjusted life years lost. Unmet care needs are plenty, partly caused by a lack of care integration. Integration of mental health services within primary care can be achieved through strengthening general medical practice with a dedicated mental health professional working across care lines. Estimating the direct budget impact of such a care model is pivotal for its sustaina…
The Halmaal Home
Objective: To develop an innovative initiative to improve (access to) somatic care for people with severe Mental Disorders (MD) and to facilitate (access to) mental health care for people living in the community. Context: As in many countries, people suffering from (severe) mental disorders in Belgium are at increased risk of somatic pathologies such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and transmissible diseases such…
Exploring the needs and wishes of next of kin for future reablement programs
Introduction: Reablement promotes independent living among older people by, amongst other strategies, involving their social network. However, previous studies have shown that next of kin are seldom involved in the reablement process, and when they are, they are insufficiently supported, often resulting in a higher experienced burden. Little is known how next of kin can be involved and supported more effectively in the reablement process. Therefo…
Adaptations of a community-based integrated care model for frail home-dwelling older adults using the results of a feasibility evaluation
Introduction: The WHO recommends implementing integrated care models to overcome fragmented care for frail older adults. However, their effectiveness remains inconclusive, due to limited assessment of implementation processes and outcomes. As population ages, the Swiss Canton Basel-Landschaft adopted a legal framework requiring creation of Information and Advice Centers (IAC) for home-dwelling older adults. INSPIRE and the Canton are collaboratin…
Health related-quality of life and patient experiences regarding transitional care in hospitalized older adults
Introduction: Frail older patients with various care needs often undergo hospitalization and thus experience frequent transitions across different settings. Poorly performed care transitions can increase the risk of adverse outcomes. Implementing integrated care services can improve the quality of care transitions. The aim of this survey study was 1) to assess health related quality of life (hr-qol) and experiences with transitional care in older…
Integrated Care Components in Transitional Care Models from Hospital to Home for Frail Older Adults
Evaluating Large-Scale Integrated Care Projects
The objective of this study is to deliver policy recommendations on strategies and best practices to improve care integration in Belgium and to implement a sustainable monitoring system that serves both policy makers and the stakeholders within the ICPs. Some challenges due to the large scale of the project and the multiple stakeholders involved may impede the successful implementation of this proposal
Evaluating Triple Aim in integrated care through claims data
Introduction: In Belgium, 12 integrated care pilot projects (Integreo) have been started in beginning 2018. Triple Aim is used as evaluation framework: improving the health of populations, patient experience of care and reducing the per capita cost of healthcare (Stiefel & Nolan, 2012). To make evaluation sustainable in the long term and limit registration workload, we will evaluate if relevant Triple Aim measures can be calculated based on claim…

Barriers and Facilitators towards an Integrated Chronic Care Model as experienced by primary care health providers
Background: The highly increased prevalence of chronic conditions challenges the actual health care systems. The Flemish governments has adopted the Chronic Care Model as the mainframe for health policy changes. However until now, there was no major practice change in the way how health care is provided in primary care. Most providers continue to work in the classic way on their own with few multidisciplinary contacts, presence of silos between p…
Monitoring Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes Care in General Practice
BACKGROUND: Because many patients in usual care reach the diabetes treatment goals, it may be more efficacious to focus quality improvement efforts on those general practice populations requiring additional support. We therefore developed a tool based on a composite end point considering blood pressure, lipids, and glycaemia. METHODS: We created an aggregated z(A)-score, calculated as the average of 3 z-scores testing whether the mean practice va…
Diversity in diabetes care programmes and views on high quality diabetes care
There is large diversity in diabetes care programmes and related quality indicators. From this review and our analysis on the mutual relationship between diversity in diabetes care programmes and the conceptualization of high quality diabetes care, we conclude that no single conceptual framework used to date provides a comprehensive overview of attributes of high quality diabetes care linked to quality indicators at the structure, process and out…
