Major changes are needed to keep healthcare and welfare good, accessible and affordable in the future. Drenthe is the first region in the Netherlands to draw up a work agenda; a concrete plan to reduce the pressure on healthcare and welfare.
This ambitious step is the result of close collaboration between various parties in the healthcare and welfare sector, residents, municipalities, health insurers and other stakeholders. This is bundled under the banner of the Gezonde Marke partnership.
‘By 2024, vulnerable people will have gained ten years of life’
The work agenda builds on last year’s regional overview, in which facts and figures about population, health, care and welfare were presented. The Drenthe Dream (the goal) that resulted from this is: By 2040, vulnerable groups will have gained ten additional healthy years of life. Well-being and well-being have been enhanced for everyone. All residents of Drenthe have equal opportunities for appropriate care.
Fifty projects divided over six themes
The Drenthe Regional Plan formed the basis for the work agenda. Over the past period, Gezonde Marke has translated the regional plan into concrete actions. More than fifty projects, initiatives and transformation programs, divided over six main themes, are included in the work agenda. For each part it is made clear what it entails and to what purpose it contributes.
Due to the importance that all parties attach to proper implementation of the work agenda, the Healthy Marke will have a permanent implementation organization from 1 July. This supports all parties involved in implementing the actions in the work agenda.
