Workshop: Research on integrated and personalized care, sharing values and perspectives; a world café method

Abstract

Introduction/Background: PhD research is one of the directions to contribute to the development of integrated care and contribute to international conferences such as ICIC in. Contributions are made towards the nine pillars of integrated care. Results are added, mostly as part of an individual PhD study, in a wide array of subjects which fits the nine pillars of integrated care. Doing PhD research brings difficulties but also successes. This also applies to PhD researchers and lecturers of the research and education group PIC’T&Re Personalized Integrated Care Teaching & Research of the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht in the Netherlands. The research group aims to contribute to integration knowledge which can facilitate changes towards the customization of integrated healthcare service delivery in the Netherlands on micro, meso and macro level of health and social care.
 Why a workshop? Using a workshop as a method to share values and perspectives in doing PhD research amongst the diversity of PhD researchers within the integrated care community. Also, to exchange experiences which are of value to all researchers in integrated care. Exchange of knowledge, expertise and experiences of all attendees is central in this workshop.
