Overweight and obese children receive care from multiple health care providers. The chain approach to care and support for this group of children will be structurally funded from 2024. The Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa) determines performance and maximum rates for the central care provider and for the combined lifestyle intervention for children. The funding was established after experiments in Amsterdam, Arnhem and Maastricht on the basis of the Innovation Policy Rule for small-scale experiments. With this funding we contribute to appropriate care and a healthy lifestyle for this group of children.
LOTTERY 24 mei 2023
Two new achievements
The central care provider coordinates and ensures coordination between care in the medical domain and assistance in the social domain. In Amsterdam, the GGD Amsterdam and health insurer Zilveren Kruis experimented with this function. The Maastricht University Medical Center and health insurers CZ and VGZ worked with a central care provider and combined lifestyle intervention (GLI) for children. Under supervision, children worked on achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Rijnstate and Menzis also experimented with this chain approach in Arnhem. The experiments will end when the new funding takes effect on 1 January 2024.
Appointments IZA and GALA
The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, the Association of Dutch Municipalities and Health Insurers in the Netherlands have made agreements in the Integral Care Agreement (IZA) and Healthy and Active Life Agreement (GALA) about the national implementation of the chain approach for overweight and obesity in children. The new funding of the NZa is an important precondition for this. The aforementioned parties are working hard on the other preconditions. Think of effective care programs, sufficient and qualified central care providers and lifestyle coaches.
