Jos de Blok: How to get better and cheaper elderly care with the Buurtzorg model
Manage episode 366722892 series 3476481
Jos de Blok is the founder and CEO of the Dutch organization Buurtzorg, which is an internationally known home care organization that is based on self-organization and self-determination. In response to frustration and dissatisfaction in organized Dutch home care, welfare entrepreneur Jos de Blok set out to simplify home care by focusing on processes and results rather than activities.
The conversation centers on the Buurtzorg model; how the model came about and what components it entails, and why the model is the best solution for patients, nurses and carers in home care. Martin Ågerup talks to Jos de Blok about the spread and success of the model, and how the Danish care area can potentially be designed in the same way with an increased focus on self-determination, quality and satisfaction of both citizens and care staff
