Symposium - Healthcare logistics in The VVT-sector
Research and practice on planning, collaboration, and capacity in elderly care
The VVT sector (nursing, care, and home care) faces major challenges in terms of staffing, capacity, and collaboration between healthcare organizations. During this symposium, CHOIR researchers and professionals from the field will come together to share knowledge and discuss current issues in healthcare logistics.
Through the projects TRIAS, Ontzorgen, and CARE-FLOW, we will explore how data and research can contribute to improved planning and organization of care in the VVT sector. The aim is to exchange experiences, build new connections, and collaborate on future research and innovation projects.
