“Maartje knows the care sector: she has experience with financing care and knows how care is registered. She is good at analyzing data and knows how to turn it into information. She knows various visualization methods and knows how to serve the information in bite-sized chunks. This allows her to also involve people with less experience in these complex issues. But above all, it is great to work with Maartje. She is reliable, radiates calm and can put forward her points of view well.”

BACKGROUND


Revalidatie Nederland is the trade association of rehabilitation institutions. In recent years, the affiliated institutions have collected a lot of data (more than 30 million records) about the treatment process of patients in a time registration project.


APPROACH


We have analyzed part of this data for Revalidatie Nederland. In doing so, we have specifically looked at whether it was possible to distinguish specific patient groups within certain diagnoses, and to identify characteristics for treatment trajectories from them. For example: is it possible to distinguish a treatment trajectory for patients with Non-Congenital Brain Injury and a cognitive disorder?


RESULTS


The results of the analysis were discussed at the member meetings of Rehabilitation Netherlands and the Association of Rehabilitation Physicians, where it was decided to use the insights from the analysis for further development of data collection and analysis by rehabilitation institutions.
