IS-HEART session: presentation by Wintjes, T.H.M.

Also see the agenda item in our online calendar.

Presentation by Tijmen Wintjes on his bachelor end project entitled “Improving the financial understanding of microtreatments in Mohs Micrographic Surgery”.

Presentation title: Our healthcare reimbursement system and how it affects the financials of innovative care processes.

Presentation abstract: In this talk, we have a look reimbursement of care within hospital and clinics. Who are the important parties within this process? What are their responsibilities? We then consider how our knowledge helps us to understand ways of working in healthcare. As a case study we consider the Mohs Micrographic Surgery process in the MohsA clinic. We will come to argue that the current systematic has a very significant financial impact on the ‘real’ price of the surgery. In our considerations we discuss one of the most valuable information systems in the healthcare business operated by DBC-onderhoud.
