Skills4you, COMPAS and CoCoCare
The Skills4you and COMPAS projects are funded by Interreg Europe (European Regional Development Fund) that helps regional and local governments across Europe to develop and deliver better policy by research, innovation and implementation efforts. Leading to integrated and sustainable impact for people and place. CoCoCare is funded by ZonMw
The COMPAS project:
As you may know, Maastricht is located in the far corner of the Netherlands, close to Belgium and Germany. On a sunny summer day cycling tour, you can cross to Flanders (Dutch-speaking Belgium) on to Wallonia (French-speaking Belgium) and end up in Aachen (Germany). Needless to say, that this offers many opportunities and challenges. For the past four years, SHE has been involved in research on cross-border patient care with partners from all four regions Daniëlle Verstegen and Juliët Beuken are happy to continue this research collaboration in a new project on international patient safety education.
The SKILLS4YOU project:
Meanwhile Diana Dolmans, Daniëlle Verstegen and Jeroen van Merriënboer have also been working on a proposal to collaborate with partners in the region in research and education on differentiation in higher education, vocational schools and secondary schools. The SKILLS4YOU project will focus on training teachers in differentiated education, both face-to-face and online. The need for adapting to different needs of students has become even more apparent during the lockdowns this year, which made painfully clear that some students suffer much more than others do.
The CoCoCare project: Cost-Conscious Healthcare "Learning platform for guideline development"
Fruitful collaboration between the FHML research schools SHE and CAPHRI results in another project on cost-conscious care
This four years project aims to develop a learning platform that can support and further standardize clinical guideline (developments) in different (para) medical fields, while also including cost-conscious care.
Researchers from SHE and CAPHRI (core team Aggie Paulus, Daniëlle Verstegen, Ghislaine van Mastrigt, Inge van der Putten, Marian Majoie, Silvia Evers, and many others) have been working together for several years resulting in national and European grants (ERASMUS+), building up a national and international consortium, and an extensive line of research. In monthly meetings, these experts discuss how to reach Cost-Conscious Healthcare (CoCoCare) by training and teaching health care professionals and other stakeholders. More information on this collaboration can be found here.
