Dutch health care system |
|
In Switzerland it becomes clear that the way the health care system is organised needs serious change. The system does not have the incentives to save money. Reto Gerber from the Economical program Eco, comes to the Netherlands to see how the Dutch organised the health care. In the reportage 'Gesundheitssystem: Vorbild Holland' Reto meets a member of the Dutch Health Care Insurance Board, a family doctor and a retired Swiss surgeon living in Amsterdam. Reto finishes his research in the Orbis medical center, a huge new hospital where all innovations possible are implemented. The hospital looks like a hotel, is almost totally paper free and Swiss robot cars move around medicines and food. Every patient has its own room where a family member can sleep as well. Everything in the room can be operated from a touch screen. All the non medical services are done by differently dressed 'hotel' personnel and the doctors, surgeons and nurses work together in a huge open office. view video (sf.tv./eco)
