Accelerating to scale down:
Reinventing long term care in The Netherlands

Our Mission:
- To structurally increase self
sufficiency
- Of: individuals with psychiatric
and/or intelectual disabilities
- Thus: reducing costs of long term
care in The Netherlands
(WLZ/WMO)

Drivers of our success:
- New, intermediate services
- Positive Health approach
- Detailed and repeated
measurements
- Just do it

Our challenges:
- Funding institutes remain
budget driven
- Measurement instruments
need to be improved
- No level playing field

What we look for:
- A partner with whom to turn our
patchy, incomplete measurement
instruments into an evidence based
package for long term residential
health care in The Netherlands
