We were hosted on this visit by Anneke Augustinus on our visit to Eykenburg and Limburg homes for the aged, in The Hague. While on this visit, we learned about the problems facing the aged in the Netherlands, such as the growing shortage of physicians, skilled nursing staff as well as startegies to increase interest in this part of health care. We were given formal presentations on dutch health care policy and prevention as well as the relatively new Dutch heath insurance plan. We then toured these 2 facilities and learned about their quality management system. We later had the opportunity to interact with a few of the clients at these facilities. We had a very productive day thanks to Anneke and her colleagues.
