This visual shows the project that was done at HAN. The reason was that many cleaners did not feel respected and seen. This project was carried out with the principles of service design. This plate is used to explain the project to others. We are currently converting this into an animation video!

Stan is an ambassador for making medical information understandable for everyone. A beautiful combination of word and image! So why don't we make one about our mission for understandable language in healthcare? You can see the result . Three short “comics” in which we show how clear communication directly contributes to better care. Do you also recognize these situations? How can you start communicating clearly today? 1. Avoid jargon! So it is not an infectious picture but an inflammation. Do not speak of a disorder or a syndrome, just say disease. Need inspiration? Checkwww.ishetb1.nl 2. Keep it short and clear. The more information you give, the less the patient remembers. Do you really need to explain the entire metabolic pathway of a calcium/D3 tablet? Very interesting. But isn't it much more effective to say that calcium tablets ensure strong bones? 3. Do not only communicate in words, but also in images, infographics and videos. Patients remember five times as much information when it is conveyed on screen. Need inspiration? Look in my portfolio. 4. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Human memory is fallible. End the consultation with a summary and check whether the patient has understood. Then give the information again in the form of a folder, an image or an instructional video

HappyCare Dementia care in Dutch hospital settings: perspectives on person-centered nursing care and shared decision-making Hospital admissions for people with dementia often lead to unintended negative consequences, such as complications and longer hospital stays, which are burdensome for both patients and their loved ones. Nurses play a crucial role in care, but often experience it as complex. This dissertation by Annette Plantinga focuses on how nursing care for dementia patients in Dutch hospitals can be improved, with an emphasis on Person-centered care and Shared Decision Making, from the perspective of both nurses and loved ones. An important part of the study was the evaluation of a measurement instrument that assesses the degree of person-centred care, which allows comparison between departments and hospitals. In addition, the perspective of nurses was investigated. Although nurses have positive attitudes, many feel insufficiently equipped to deal with problem behaviour effectively and often lack specific knowledge about dementia care. Relatives experience stress due to poor communication with nurses and do not always feel treated as care partners. They worry about the safety of their relative with dementia. Positive experiences arise when nurses recognize the patient's dementia and involve relatives in care decisions. Negative experiences occur when care is focused exclusively on the disease for which the patient was admitted. The findings highlight the need for better education for nurses, with attention to dementia care and person-centred care. Improved communication and early recognition of dementia are essential. Further research could focus on alternatives to hospital treatments to reduce the negative consequences of admissions for dementia patients.

By clicking on the stars, you will see the explanatory text. This brings the picture more to life. The drawing shows the connections and the bigger picture; the text provides more details and content. It is a visual summary of a Zembla broadcast that was dedicated to the growing shortage of general practitioners.

traveling together Think together with your team in a brainstorming session about what is important to work well together, based on the principle of 'On a journey together'. All this in the context of a team development process. Meike Goossens of De Roos & Spetters, who supervised this process, wanted to visualize the results to give it more impact.

HappyCare In recent years, Sjoukje Bouma has done PhD research at the Orthopedics department of the UMCG. She conducted research into the experiences of healthcare professionals with the use of lifestyle adjustments as a treatment for osteoarthritis. The first part examined which factors prevent healthcare professionals from doing so. The second part examined which strategies can be used to improve the use of lifestyle adjustments as a treatment for osteoarthritis. To better explain her research to people, I drew this picture for her.

professional learning community What is a Professional Learning Community? A term that is used more often in education, but what exactly does it mean? Here you can see a good example of how cooperation between primary and secondary education can be strengthened! Opportunities have inspired this group, and inequality of opportunity has motivated them to set up this learning community. A great way to explain this through this discussion board and to get your colleagues enthusiastic about it. Thank you Vesna Matejec, Tara Akkerman and Jelly de Boer from Quadraten for the great collaboration!
