The essence of the ‘Right Healthcare at the Right Place’ is to prevent healthcare from becoming more expensive, moving healthcare closer to people’s homes and replacing healthcare by digital healthcare using e-health solutions. This improves people’s prospects of coping and functioning with their illness or disability. It is vital for different healthcare organisations to collaborate transparently and efficiently in order to accomplish this transition. To that end, Caresharing developed the cBoards platform, focusing on collaboration between healthcare professionals, informal care providers and patients based on so-called ‘boards’. A board is a theme-oriented, multidisciplinary patient file where all relevant medical details are accessible to relevant individuals and teams only. The healthcare professional experiences it as a single system, where things like chat and video communication with patients and other healthcare professionals take place. This makes (regional) collaboration safe, transparent, and efficient. cBoards is now being successfully deployed in the Amsterdam region in collaboration with – among others – healthcare provider Zilveren Kruis and Sigra, a regional partnership between organisations in healthcare and well-being in and around Amsterdam.
