The draft agreement, which De Telegraaf has already published, already showed that between 2022 and 2028 more than 700 million euros would be released for data exchange. In the renewed agreement this appears to have become 878 million euros.
Inadequate data exchange between different healthcare providers regularly leads to problems. This way it can go wrong with patients in the hospital, because a healthcare provider is not well aware of the medical data.
Care parties are positive
There is now a lot of efforts by reducing the administrative burden and improving data exchange. For the rest, the ‘0.99’ concept version differs little from the new care agreement. “It’s really about dots on the i,” someone at the negotiating table already outlined on Wednesday evening.
Leaked concept healthcare agreement: tackling bureaucracy and considerably shortening patients waiting time
Care parties are predominantly positive about the new Z agreement. For example, Dutch mental health care calls it an important step forward for mental health care. ,, It is frustrating that because of the long waiting lists we cannot provide good care on time. That is why we have to make clear choices, so that especially the vulnerable people are helped quickly. This agreement helps us with this, “responds chairman Ruth Peetoom.
Among other things, she refers to the agreements to better map out who is on waiting lists, the more active waiting list mediation by health insurers and investments in new technology to help people faster.
Little money to training
Peetoom is concerned about the lack of a national and broad strategy to work on a mentally healthy society. She also sees that there is not enough money to train and develop professionals in mental health care.
A point at which V&VN, the professional association for nurses and carers, sees an important wish come true: there is structurally 185 million euros per year available for training and developing healthcare professionals outside the hospital. In addition, 60 million euros for training in the neighborhood has already been included in the FWS budget. And the intended cutback of 165 million on training in the hospital is off the table.
Reduce bureaucracy
Chairman Bianca Buurman is satisfied: ,, In addition to structural money for training and continuing schools of indispensable care providers, there will be considerably invested in less regulatory pressure. Among other things by using smart innovations. There is also more emphasis on making clients more self -reliant. “

The leaked concept already showed that bureaucracy in the healthcare sector should be considerably reduced by abolishing dozens of administrative actions. With the new agreements, the increasing deficit with 100,000 people should be lower in 2028.
For the 2027 and 2028, 371 million euros and another 196 million euros are invested in the social domain, better cooperation between field parties, general practitioner care and mental health care. And to prevent people from becoming sick and needing a lot of care, structurally 230 million euros is spent on prevention.
