Abstract

ABSTRACT The IBD clinic at the UMCG deals with an expanding patient base and rising operational costs. When dealing with chronically ill patients and a constraint on capacity expansion, the options are limited. This research shows what needs to be considered in researching improvement options. Dependent on the situation, different solutions could apply. Here an assessment showed that reconsidering the target group had the most potential. Triadic collaboration options in the supply chain, and the complexity of activities in treating IBD patients, indicate that within a periphery there are differences in costs and capabilities. A triadic collaboration patient allocation matrix recognizes the cost differences and considers the collaboration options and complexity of care delivery. This matrix can aid the IBD clinic to deal with the expanding patient base and rising costs. De inhoud van deze scriptie is vertrouwelijk.
