Background and Objectives

The healthcare sector is under pressure. To maintain healthcare that is good, accessible, and affordable, the government and the healthcare field, in the Integral Care Agreement (IZA), are pushing for digitalization and electronic data exchange in healthcare, among other things. One of the agreements in the IZA is therefore that residents of the Netherlands should have access to a user-friendly and well-filled personal health environment (PGO) that adds value to the care process and contains information understandable to everyone.

This gives citizens an overview of their health data, allows them to take more control over their own health, and work on prevention. To ensure citizens actually have access to relevant health data, it is necessary to further improve and broaden its availability. This includes data from healthcare providers, but also data on, for example, vaccinations, population screening programs, screenings, and national registers.

The VWS program MeerMed contributes to this by improving and broadening the availability of health data for citizens via personal health environments (PGOs), and in the future Mijn Gezondheidsoverzicht, within the MedMij agreement framework.

DI-CIO is looking for an Advisor Long-Term Care for the MeerMed program, which supports healthcare providers, cooperatives, and suppliers in preparing for data availability for citizens. MeerMed offers an overview, knowledge, practical tools, and support that align with the development phase and challenges of each healthcare sector. Furthermore, MeerMed connects national developments with practice, so that policy and execution align better. MeerMed helps organizations to take concrete no-regret steps today and prepare for the obligations arising from the EHDS.

The program implements the work agendas and milestone planning developed in collaboration with the IZA working group PGOs.

As an Advisor Long-Term Care within MeerMed, you will play a crucial role in the implementation and integration of personal health environments (PGOs), specifically for the long-term care sector. Your work will focus on supporting healthcare institutions and healthcare professionals in increasing data availability for citizens, clients, and patients.
