Hi Jiska, bedankt voor het delen. 

Herken je wat er geschreven wordt in de blog?
"The value of patient participation in policy and decision making is broadly endorsed in the Netherlands, however, the covid-19 pandemic has shown that in times of crisis we do not practice what we preach."

Ik ben benieuwd hoe de lessen die aangedragen worden tot uitvoering gebracht kunnen worden: "The most important lesson is this: policy makers’ exclusion of the patient perspective led to many missed opportunities for preventing severe unintended consequences of local, regional, and national policy on the wellbeing of the most vulnerable members of our society. But it would be too easy to shift the blame for this on the policy makers alone. In the Netherlands not even a law could ensure patients were sufficiently included in their healthcare. This shows that what we preach is not yet embedded in our DNA, and that good intentions do not guarantee something will be done well when push comes to shove. We must use the lessons of this “setback” to take two steps forward and turn patient engagement, especially during a crisis, into the “new normal.”
