Healthcare has been a common thread in the academic career of Naomi van der Linden. "I use my research to assess how technology can generate value in the medical world, and quantify that value for decision-makers. Ultimately, this will allow us to prioritise interventions that generate maximum benefits for patients and the healthcare system as a whole. An important aspect here is to assess technology and policy not only on healthcare outcomes and costs, but also on the basis of their environmental impact, for example. And above all, I want to look at how innovations are affecting our demand for human resources, including nurses. There is currently a huge shortage of personnel, and they did not enter the healthcare sector just to push buttons. Like me, my health ambassador Irene Grossmann, MD, PhD is very interested in the acute healthcare system. That system is undergoing many changes, including the aim to concentrate high-complex care in a limited number of locations, while organising low-complex care to be based closer to patients' homes. At the same time, the ageing population is having a major impact, with more patients with more complex problems being admitted to emergency departments. How do you make sure all these people get to the most appropriate place, which is by no means always the hospital? We are exploring various issues in this area with students." 👉 Read more about Naomi here: https://edu.nl/mpc8y TU Delft Health Initiative, TU Delft | Technology, Policy and Management #healthcare #technology #research
