Quality in Health Care

Ensuring effective, safe care in the Netherlands, wherever and whenever it is needed, requires both scientific and practical knowledge. It requires answers to questions from the field, so that research results are given practical application, and care-giving and care policy both improve.

In the spotlight

ZonMw funds research into the quality of health care in the Netherlands

For instance by supporting nurses and care staff and by strengthening health care infrastructure. In doing so, we look at the different elements involved in health care, including the patient perspective, the various organisations involved, the care professional, and the social impact.

Sustainable quality improvement in nursing and caregiving

Model Sustainable quality improvement

Nurses and caregivers together form the largest group of healthcare professionals in the Netherlands. They work in all sectors of healthcare and form an essential link to quality prevention, care and support for citizens, patients and healthcare professionals. ZonMw supports nurses and caregivers by providing the knowledge needed to be able to carry out this pivotal role effectively.
