Organizing transmural care
How do you organize well-coordinated care between primary, secondary, and tertiary care? (care pathway)
Collaboration between healthcare providers plays a crucial role in the effective care of a patient and their loved ones. Effective data exchange is a cornerstone of this. These days, it's perfectly possible to do this securely electronically from the medical records of both general practitioners and hospital physicians. Messages can be sent in both directions via the secure e-health platform.
In important or more urgent situations, telephone consultation between healthcare providers is the best method.
Hospitals sometimes have onco-coaches who can facilitate communication.
The MOC consultation is a joint consultation in which all parties involved can participate.
Patients experience it as very positive when they feel that there is consultation between care providers, everyone is well informed and there is a uniform policy.
It's important that patients feel comfortable and safe both at home and in the hospital. A safe environment must be built with everyone involved and doesn't just happen. Accessibility and availability play a key role in this.
