Linksight works on better elderly care in the Delft region

May 2022

Healthcare is under pressure, also in the Delft region. Elderly care (Wlz), hospital care (Zvw) and home care (WMO) are organized differently and are also financed differently. To continue providing elderly residents of Delft with the right care in the right place, collaboration and optimization across the boundaries of these silos will be necessary. In this pilot, health insurance office and health insurer DSW, elderly care provider Pieter van Foreest and the Municipality of Delft are experimenting with joint, privacy-by-design data analysis. They all bring in their own piece of the data puzzle, and can perform joint analyses on it, without being able to view the underlying personal data of patients, clients or citizens.

By combining data from these silos, parties gain real insight into the status of care in the region. Based on this, they can jointly agree on policies. By continuously measuring, they also map the effects of these policies and can constantly adjust. This creates a flywheel of regional, data-driven improvement of care.

This pilot is made possible in part by the Province of South Holland / Innovation Quarter, through the ZorgTech programme.
