The Tiel Shift Towards Person Centered Care

The health system in the Netherlands is one of the best in the world and it is a challenge to keep this affordable and accessible for everyone. A shift from care to lifelong maintenance of health is highly needed, but the drivers of change are missing. Obviously, the involvement of citizens is essential, but to introduce the change the indispensable incentives must be identified. The believe in integrated network care is growing, but it requires a fresh view on the integration of prevention and care, the involvement of the "old players" to create a new governance model, the supporting IT and adequate funding arrangements. In the Tiel region the implementation of the INCA model for integrated care in the primary care setting might make the difference for this journey.
