Location: Domstad Utrecht

There is a shortage of staff in healthcare. This requires looking beyond the normal aspects such as effectiveness and costs when making decisions in healthcare. A temporary committee appointed by the Zorginstituut Nederland recently considered the question of how to include ‘labour input’ as a consideration in advices to reimburse care from the basic package.

Outside the domain of HTA, people have of course been thinking about health and work for some time now; Professor Karin Proper of RIVM will talk about her many years of experience with research in this area. Professor Werner Brouwer is a member of the previously mentioned ZIN committee and will update us about the committee’s work. In the meantime, researchers such as Dr. Lucas Goossens are investigating how to measure labor input in healthcare in a feasible way. He is happy to explain this to us. Let’s meet, learn and discuss!

And by the way, despite the shortage in healthcare, there is a wealth of young talent in our HTA field. We will see three pitches from researchers who will present their recent HTA publication, after which we will decide together which of them deserves the NVTAG prize!

The main language will be English, with possibly some contributions in Dutch.

Registration for the symposium is now open, first come, first served.
