ADDITIONAL PARTIES
Good collaboration between the PIHC partners is essential within the projects. It may be valuable to involve additional parties, but this is not a requirement. For example, additional parties can facilitate the development of (parts of) the technology. It is also possible to involve parties that can bring projects closer to the clinical practice, for example organizations that play a role in the (changing) healthcare process or end-users, such as general practitioners, patient organizations, nursing homes and home care organizations.
Additional parties that purely work on a commissioned basis should be included in the budget of one of the PIHC partners. Additional parties that are closely involved in the research project need to sign the project collaboration agreement with the related rights and obligations.
