Moving Towards Resilient Healthcare Systems

The third parallel session of the symposium 'Making Healthcare Sustainable' dives into what is needed to make healthcare systems resilient in the face of crises, like pandemics.

Outline of the session:

Dr. Jeroen van Wijngaarden (ESHPM): Crisis management of managers in Dutch nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic
Dr. Renée Scheepers (ESHPM): Well-being and resilience of health care professionals in Dutch nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic
Andrea Frankowski, MSc (NSOB): From policy reflex to reflexive policy
Panel discussion about lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic on how the healthcare system, with a focus on the nursing home sector, can stay resilient during crises. What kinds of policies and decision-making structures do we need? How should we think about workforce issues? And further research do we need to deal with future questions related to resilient healthcare systems?

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM), a symposium will be held entitled ‘Making Healthcare Sustainable’. Plenary speakers for this event are Professor Trish Greenhalgh (University of Oxford) and Professor Mike Drummond (University of York) who have both received honorary doctorates from Erasmus University Rotterdam. In addition, various interactive sessions will be held related to value-based healthcare, organisational sustainability, inequalities in health(care), and the resilience of healthcare systems. In these sessions, researchers from ESHPM, as well as external speakers, will shed light on these important issues from different scientific perspectives.
