Parent’s Perspective on Continuity of Care in the Maternity Care and Child Health Services Continuum
Ideally, (a) parents enter the postnatal period well-prepared, and well-informed about self-care, PCHC and possible postnatal carepathways, (b) number of caretransfers is limited, (c) by overlapping maternity care and PCHC, parents are provided with an opportunity to maintain meaningful relationships with their care providers, and (d) information is consistent, family-centred, and tailored
Pregnancy outcomes of forced migrants in the Netherlands
This first Dutch registry-based study demonstrated increased risks of multiple, though not all, adverse pregnancy outcomes in forced migrants. Our results emphasize the imperative to further unravel and address migration-related disparities, dismantle structural barriers to health among forced migrants, and improve the inclusivity of data systems. Collaborative policy, clinical practice, and research efforts are essential to ensure equitable care…
The immaturity of patient engagement in value-based healthcare—A systematic review
Quality Improvement with Outcome Data in Integrated Obstetric Care Networks
Current fragmented healthcare organization poses barriers for network-broad QI with outcome data, but also offers opportunities for learning strategies. Furthermore, joint learning could improve collaboration to catalyse the journey towards integrated, value-based care
Differing Professional Perspectives on the Interprofessional Collaboration in IPUs
In VBHC, there seems to be a lack of common perception of an IPU's composition and a failure to always achieve high quality interprofessional collaboration. Given the importance of interprofessional collaboration in VBHC, effort should be invested in achieving a shared understanding and improved collaboration
Differing professional perspectives on the integration of care in Integrated Practice Units
Introduction: An important component of Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) is providing the full cycle of care for a specific medical condition in an Integrated Practice Unit (IPU). Although this requires employees from diverse professional backgrounds to interact, there is limited knowledge on how professionals perceive such interprofessional collaboration. Research shows that organising the delivery of integrated care can be challenging, in part due…
Cost-Effectiveness of Routine Third Trimester Ultrasound Screening for Fetal Growth Restriction Compared to Care as Usual in Low-Risk Pregnancies
Routine third trimester ultrasonography is increasingly used to screen for fetal growth restriction. However, evidence regarding its cost-effectiveness is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of routine third trimester ultrasonography to reduce adverse perinatal outcomes compared to usual care (selective ultrasonography). An economic evaluation alongside a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial was conducted. Via 60 midwifery prac…
Connecting Obstetric, Maternity, Pediatric and Preventive Child Health Care
Collaboration between birth care and Preventive Child Health Care (PCHC) in the Netherlands is so far insufficient. The aim of the Connecting Obstetric; Maternity; Pediatric and PCHC (COMPLETE) study is to: (1) better understand the collaboration between birth care and PCHC and its underlying mechanisms (including barriers and facilitators); (2) investigate whether a new multidisciplinary strategy that is developed as part of the project will res…
The effect of a locally tailored intervention on the uptake of preconception care in the Netherlands

Patient reported outcomes and experience measures in perinatal care to guide clinical practice
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 2.913 (2021 JCR, received in June 2022)The IJIC 20th Anniversary Issue was published in 2021
Research within international non-governmental organisation programmes in low and middle-income countries
box Over the past decades, enormous efforts have gone into improving access to quality health services in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) through the activities of international non-governmental organisations (INGOs).1 However, for most of these INGO-implemented interventions, responding to health research needs of these populations is not a priority, with a few exceptions.2 In instances where research is of interest, the capacities to ge…
Study design of a stepped wedge cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of a locally tailored approach for preconception care – the Apropos-II study
Dutch Trial register: NL7784 (Registered June 6th, 2019)
Risk and the politics of boundary work
Midwives’ position in maternal and newborn care (MNC) in the Netherlands is unique: unlike many other countries, they have retained the authority over risk assessment and referral. We studied why and how midwives formally gained their position as gatekeepers, a role formally granted in 1987 by the Study Group for the Revision of the Kloosterman List (SGKL), a group of representatives from all professions and organisations involved in Dutch MNC. W…
An Approach to measuring Integrated Care within a Maternity Care System
Both questionnaires are feasible and can discriminate between sites with different integration profiles in The Netherlands. They offer an opportunity to better understand integrated care as one step in understanding the complexity of the concept
