HappyCare Dementia care in Dutch hospital settings: perspectives on person-centered nursing care and shared decision-making Hospital admissions for people with dementia often lead to unintended negative consequences, such as complications and longer hospital stays, which are burdensome for both patients and their loved ones. Nurses play a crucial role in care, but often experience it as complex. This dissertation by Annette Plantinga focuses on how nursing care for dementia patients in Dutch hospitals can be improved, with an emphasis on Person-centered care and Shared Decision Making, from the perspective of both nurses and loved ones. An important part of the study was the evaluation of a measurement instrument that assesses the degree of person-centred care, which allows comparison between departments and hospitals. In addition, the perspective of nurses was investigated. Although nurses have positive attitudes, many feel insufficiently equipped to deal with problem behaviour effectively and often lack specific knowledge about dementia care. Relatives experience stress due to poor communication with nurses and do not always feel treated as care partners. They worry about the safety of their relative with dementia. Positive experiences arise when nurses recognize the patient's dementia and involve relatives in care decisions. Negative experiences occur when care is focused exclusively on the disease for which the patient was admitted. The findings highlight the need for better education for nurses, with attention to dementia care and person-centred care. Improved communication and early recognition of dementia are essential. Further research could focus on alternatives to hospital treatments to reduce the negative consequences of admissions for dementia patients.

Science in pictures Visualizations of scientific research (For groups up to 12 people) Do you recognize the following situation: You have been working on your scientific research for months or even years. You would like your research reach a large audience, but it is often limited to a small group of people who understand the content. That's a pity... Do you want to tell your story in a way that everyone, including people who have no substantive knowledge, can understand and remember it? And also be happy about that? Make your own visual (or praatplaat) of your research. A praatplaat is a visual summary of your research. You can use it to tell your story Everyone knows: THRough images quickly to the core Now I can hear you thinking... You can simplify complex matters with images, so people understand the essence easier to understand and remember . I want it to look professional! I can't do that Then the following options might be something for you: TRaining Science in pictures In this training I will first teach you the basics of business drawing. You achieve the best results by drawing simply and functionally. I will give you tips how to use color, how to frame and connect and the composition. I will show you how to use it in a presentation. I will give you some examples. And of course you will make a visualization of your own research. Finally, you briefly present your drawing to your fellow students and we give each other feedback For whom? The training is for anyone who: is engaged in scientific research and wants to communicate the content in an appealing, visual manner. wants to discover the power of visual work as a means of communication want to learn practical tips and skills to easily and quickly convey the message with drawings wants to use drawing to bring more creativity and enjoyment into work. At the end of the training you know the basics of a simple, effective, business drawing you know the tools to give a drawing more (expressive) power (such as use of color, framing, hierarchy and composition) you started creating your own visual library you created your own visual and presented it to the group. After the event A few days after the training you will receive a photo report containing all flip-over drawings, group pictures and atmospheric photos. A beautiful and valuable memento of the day! INFO Professional development of your drawing Did you visualize your research yourself during the training, but would you like your drawing to look professional? I use your ideas and design and develop them digitally, so that you can use your plate at conferences or presentations. You will also receive all individual drawings, so that you can use them separately in your dissertation or in articles. INFO Practical information I only give the 'Science meaning image' training to closed groups. If desired, I can provide the training in English. Location in consultation Drawing materials and the booklet 'Drawing as a means of communication' are included for each participant. I would be happy to prepare a quote for you based on a preliminary discussion. Please contact us Do you want to read my article? I'll never understand that... I tell you my research based on this visual Now I understand and remember it too!

Archibus Archibus is an information management system that regulates maintenance and management. I made a picture for the Haga Hospital to explain the complicated system to employees.

Care in Picture (in collaboration with Marjet Veldhuis) This poster may be shared and printed. JPEG https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2c3443_8269bcf477fa49c9ab39c79a96164baa~mv2.jpg Care in the picture, from problem to solution Marjet Veldhuis April 10, 2023 Recently I was a guest at EenVandaag to speak about the time and costs of bureaucracy in healthcare, the purple crocodile. Reducing bureaucracy First, let's get the numbers straight. Assuming a very cautious 20 hours of work per week and an hourly wage of €20, the key figures for all 1.4 million healthcare professionals together are as follows: 40% of the working time means 500 million hours per year, costs € 10 billion per year In perspective: this is more than the total costs of mental health care, general practitioner care and paramedicine (physiotherapy, remedial therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, dietetics) combined per year (4.6/3.5/1.0 billion, respectively). By reducing the bureaucracy from 40 to 20% (and 10% is really very realistic), much more care time is immediately available and multiple problems can be solved in one go. The bureaucracy in turn is only part of the money-consuming and ever-increasing group of workers ON care who determine, manage, advise, monitor and earn from the work for an ever-shrinking group of workers IN care. Deserving of care out of harm's way The earnings models of the workers ON care are now numerous and (partly) known. For example, I describe them in my book, Mirjam de Rijk wrote last week's article about 11 revenue models in healthcare (De Groene Amsterdammer) and yet the attention for all costs (which you and I pay together) remains minimal. @EllenvanHeijst (Visualpower050) shows the images of the problem and the solution (future situation, right) in the accompanying illustration at a glance. 'Care' is so much more than a container term. When shouting: 'healthcare is becoming unaffordable', 'healthcare costs are skyrocketing' and 'healthcare must be cut back', too many people wrongly assume that this is at the expense of healthcare workers and the patient. The workers ON care remain out of sight and out of harm's way. They do not name themselves in the many problem analyzes that already exist. Naming is, after all, acknowledging that they themselves are part of the problem and that they have to cut their own flesh. Then what? In the interest of themselves, patients and citizens, it is now time for healthcare workers to reclaim their own autonomy and expertise, turn the tables.

HappyCare My mother is 93 and like most people her age, she is very vulnerable. Fortunately, her head is still doing well, but she has fallen regularly over the last few months. First because she was trying to pick something up, later because she was tired at the end of the day and recently because she could no longer stand on her legs. My mother has always been active and very independent. The rapid downward spiral was a difficult process for her and for us as children. After each fall, my mother had to give up more independence and our worries increased. She did not want to go to a nursing home and did everything she could to stay at home. And that also worked... Because there were 5 lovely women from Happy Zorg who put their heart and soul into ensuring that my mother could stay at home until it was really no longer possible. Natalie, the 'leader', had already taken care of my mother 5 years ago after her hip dislocated. Nathalie has always kept in touch with my mother. She didn't have to do that, but she did. And how valuable that was became apparent in recent months. It was wonderful how they helped my mother. Nothing was ever too much and everything was done with love. Partly thanks to the Happy ladies, my mother managed to stay at home. Unfortunately, my mother went to a nursing home a week and a half ago. It really didn't work anymore... Last week, as a thank you for all the care given to my mother, I received Natalie Drobe and her team gave a 'business drawing' workshop. I first taught them the basics of how to draw your story or message simply and functionally. They then made a drawing together about their team: What makes their team so special? They drew this drawing on paper, I made it digitally for them in one poster. A beautiful and valuable result. Happy Natalie, Happy Roos, Happy Indy, Happy Jet and Happy Eva…. You have been invaluable to my mother and us over the past period. I hope that politicians will look less at how you can organize healthcare as a business (where competition has proven to be cutthroat and lucrative companies make a lot of money) and focus (and invest) more on the people who do the real work!

HappyCare In recent years, Sjoukje Bouma has done PhD research at the Orthopedics department of the UMCG. She conducted research into the experiences of healthcare professionals with the use of lifestyle adjustments as a treatment for osteoarthritis. The first part examined which factors prevent healthcare professionals from doing so. The second part examined which strategies can be used to improve the use of lifestyle adjustments as a treatment for osteoarthritis. To better explain her research to people, I drew this picture for her.

farewell certe Commissioned by the Service Pharmacy I made this visual. in a meeting the service pharmacy of the day after tomorrow was discussed, what were the wishes, the visions? I made this visual when I said goodbye to Certe after 15 years. The visual tells my way through Certe: the Asthma/COPD service, Lifelines and the blood draw. I had cards printed and a personal message for colleagues on the back.
