Many interventions to prevent ECC have multiple interacting components and c...
Abstract Background The effectiveness of health care interventions is co-determined by contextual factors. Unknown is the extent of this impact on patient outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore which characteristics of general practices are associated with patient outcomes in a proactive primary care program, the U-PROFIT 2.0. Met...

Objectives
Most complex healthcare interventions target a network of healthcare professionals. Social network analysis (SNA) is a powerful technique to study how social relationships within a network are established and evolve. We identified in which phases of complex healthcare intervention research SNA is used and the value of SNA for developing...

from the medical and social domain within primary care is desirable;
however, it is also challenging due to fragmented healthcare. Little is known
about the development of IPCP in primary care to fit the implementation context. This article describes the methodolog...

Little is known about interprofessional education (IPE) to increase IPC in the context of care for frail older people in the community. This study evaluates the effectiveness of IPE on IPC of primary health and social care providers providing...
Sociale netwerkanalyse (SNA) wordt veelvuldig gebruikt in de sociale wetenschappen met als doel netwerken te ontrafelen. Sinds twintig jaar wordt SNA ook binnen het vakgebied educatie ingezet, maar het is nog niet eerder toegepast om interprofessionele educatie te evalueren. Deze studie evalueert een interprofessioneel educatie-programma voor profe...
Objective:
Complex interventions are criticized for being a 'black box', which makes it difficult to determine why they succeed or fail. Recently, nine proactive primary care programmes aiming to prevent functional decline in older adults showed inconclusive effects. The aim of this study was to systematically unravel, compare and synthesize the d...
Background:
Major resections for esophageal, gastric, hepatic, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer continue to be associated with a high peri-operative morbidity of up to 30%-40%. To a large extent, this morbidity is caused by infectious complications that add up to a considerable burden to patients and hospital costs. The objective of this large re...
