We aim to optimize quality of care to make healthcare more patient-centered, sustainable, and available for everyone
Mission and goals
In the Quality of Care research program solid research is performed aiming to optimize quality of care for individuals and groups of patients, to make healthcare more patient-centered, sustainable, and available for everyone and taking ethical issues and legal aspects into account.
We do this by: (1) improving Quality of Care across disciplines (e.g. internal medicine, acute care, surgery, ophthalmology, midwifery, ear-nose and throat, palliative care, genetics); (2) improving management of care, via implementation, supporting communication and the utilization of remote (e-health and m-health) care, and multidisciplinary teams, and (3) monitoring (patient-specific) outcomes (e.g. quality of life, patient safety) and societal impact.
Our “DNA”
Our identity
As researchers, we feel involved in contributing to the quality of care by conducting excellent scientific research. Integrity, innovation and quality of our research are of key importance. We share the drive and responsibility to have societal impact. We do this by initiating, executing, valorizing and implementing research. Our mission and motivation bring us together and give color and a common purpose to our joint activities. Our program is unique because of its broad support base and multidisciplinary approach to improve the quality of healthcare.
Our ambition
Our ambition is to monitor and improve the quality of healthcare through scientific research and by training the researchers and healthcare professionals of the future. Together we conduct high quality research to 1) optimize the quality of care for patients throughout the entire life cycle, 2) make healthcare more patient-centered, sustainable and available to everyone, and 3) deploy healthy healthcare professionals. We take ethical issues and legal aspects into account in all our activities. In doing so, we enable mutual connections between researchers so that they can reinforce, inspire, stimulate and collaborate effectively in their research activities.
Program leaders
Research themes
The Quality of Care research programs roadmap 2020-2023 comprises the following themes:
Research
The main goals of the ‘Research’ domain focus on internal collaboration and cohesion, and on the promotion of national and international visibility and consolidation. We strive to continuously enhance the connection/collaboration between QoC researchers, but also with researchers from other institutions. In addition, we aim to develop and execute joint research proposals. To gain more national and international visibility we aim to stimulate the organization of (international) conferences, and to increase scientific output by QoC researchers.
Society
The main goals of the ‘Society’ domain focus on connecting projects to societal themes, consolidate QoC as an active societal organization, and strive for (inter)national acknowledgement for being a societal relevant organization.
Implementation and valorization
The goals of the ‘Implementation and Valorization’ theme focus on developing and establishing QoC expertise. In addition, we aim to encourage and ensure private and public collaboration.
