Editorial Medicalfacts/ Janine Budding May 15, 2023 – 11:47 PM

During the annual Value-Based Health Care Prize event, Rijnstate’s Value-Based Care approach won two prizes: the Community Award and the Collaboration Excellence Award. These awards, presented by the VBHC Center Europe, recognize and reward initiatives that deliver innovative and value-driven care. Rijnstate is proud of this recognition and the accompanying prize.

Rijnstate was chosen as the winner of these two prizes from the 14 initiatives that had a chance to win the VBHC Prize 2023. The nominees were previously carefully selected by an international jury. During the VBHC event that took place on May 10, Alexandra Fahrenkrog (Program Manager Value-Based Care) and Daniëlle Sikking (Adviser Value-Based Care) received the prize on behalf of Rijnstate for Rijnstate’s approach to value-based care.

“This prize feels like a nice recognition for Rijnstate, for teams that deliver maximum value for the patient every day, but especially for the patient. It is ultimately to provide the best care for the patient that we all do it for,” says Alexandra. Daniëlle adds: “It is a huge encouragement that our way of working is seen as a good example nationally and internationally.”

The best care for the patient

In value-driven care, Rijnstate uses patient outcomes and experiences to continuously improve care. The value for the patient is paramount, at an acceptable cost. It is also about the best care for the patient. Care that really helps and generates more ‘value’. Rijnstate has set up its organization around care chains in a completely different way, so that different specialisms and patients work even more closely together on care related to a condition. Rijnstate has already set up 28 care chains for various disorders, for example for breast cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, IBD and prostate cancer.

I have specialized in interactive news for healthcare providers, so that healthcare providers are informed every day about the news that may be relevant to them. Both lay news and news specifically for healthcare providers and prescribers. Social Media, Womens Health, Patient advocacy, patient empowerment, personalized medicine & Care 2.0 and the social domain are spearheads for me to pay extra attention to.

I studied physiotherapy and Health Care business administration. I am also a registered independent client support worker and informal care broker. I have a lot of experience in various positions in healthcare, the social domain and the medical, pharmaceutical industry, nationally and internationally. And have broad medical knowledge of most healthcare specialties. And of the care laws from which the care is regulated and financed. Every year I attend most of the leading medical conferences in Europe and America to keep my knowledge up-to-date and to keep up with the latest developments and innovations. Currently I am doing a Masters in Applied Psychology.
