Buurtzorg Nederland
Buurtzorg Nederland is a Healthcare in the Netherlands, Dutch home-care organization which has attracted international attention for its innovative use of independent nurse teams in delivering relatively low-cost care. The word ''buurtzorg'' is Dutch for “neighborhood care”. History It was founded in 2006 in the small city of Almelo by Jos de Blok and a small team of professional nurses who were dissatisfied with the delivery of health care by traditional home care organizations in the Netherlands.

Operation When they go into a patient’s home, Buurtzorg’s nurses provide not only medical services but also support services, such as dressing and bathing, that are usually delegated to lesser-trained and cheaper p ...

Healthcare In The Netherlands
Healthcare in the Netherlands is differentiated into several main categories. Firstly in three different echelons; secondly in physical (somatic) versus mental healthcare; and thirdly in "cure" (short term) versus "care" (long term). ''"Huisartsen"'' (U.S.: Primary care physician, physicians / U.K.: general practitioners; lit.: home/family doctors), ''"huisartsenposten"'' ((acute) GP/primary medical centers), and casualty / emergency rooms (''"SpoedEisende Hulp / SEH"'') mainly form the first echelon. Being referred by a first echelon professional is frequently required for access to treatment by the second and third echelons (hospitals and specialists, as well as long term care), or at least to qualify for insurance coverage for their treatment.J.M.

NHS Wales
NHS Wales ( cy, GIG (Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol) Cymru) is the publicly-funded healthcare system in Wales, and one of the four systems which make up the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. NHS Wales was formed as part of the public health system for England and Wales created by the National Health Service Act 1946, with powers over the NHS in Wales coming under the Secretary of State for Wales in 1969. That year, the latter took over much of the responsibility for health services in Wales, being supported in this by the Welsh Office, which had been established in 1964.

Nursing Organizations
Nursing is a profession within the health care sector focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities so they may attain, maintain, or recover optimal health and quality of life. Nurses may be differentiated from other health care providers by their approach to patient care, training, and scope of practice. Nurses practice in many specialties with differing levels of prescription authority. Nurses comprise the largest component of most healthcare environments; but there is evidence of international shortages of qualified nurses. Many nurses provide care within the ordering scope of physicians, and this traditional role has shaped the public image of nurses as care providers. Nurse practitioners are nurses with a graduate degree in advanced practice nursing. They are however permitted by most jurisdictions to practice independently in a variety of settings. Since the postwar period, nurse education has undergone a process of diversification towards advanced an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
