The balance between care providers and care recipients must be in balance. Responsibility for this balance lies with healthcare providers, healthcare recipients, healthcare organizations and the healthcare system together.
During short, to the point sessions that can be followed both on location and digitally, our speakers shed light on the perspective of the care recipient, care provider and care organization on the following question:
How is patient empowerment put into practice? Patient empowerment stands for shared control and responsibility, in which mutual respect is central. It is about an equal relationship between care recipient and care provider.
How do we achieve this? What's stopping us?
THE CARE REQUEST
Are you a patient, client, resident, ... The symposium deals with your care and the way in which you are involved. It is about you that the symposium is about. That is why it is important that you participate.
THE CAREGIVER
THE CARE ORGANIZATION
As a care provider you have a key role in patient empowerment because a care recipient is more dependent on you than the other way around. But patient empowerment is also in your own interest: it can have a positive influence on therapy compliance.
Care organizations also make a major contribution to patient empowerment: through the way in which they provide care, they influence the perception of the care recipient.
THE CARE SYSTEM
Care recipients, care providers and care organizations function within the framework created by governments and policy makers. As a result, the latter exert a major influence on the freedom people have in healthcare to empower others.
