9. Number of physicians by age group in 17 EU member
States in 2004 and 2008
•In 2009, about 30% of all doctors in the EU were over 55 years of age
•By 2020 more than 60 000 doctors or 3.2% of all European doctors are expected to
retire annually.
•The average age of nurses employed today is between 41-45 years.

20. Network of “networks”

21. The hospital of the next decade
• High-Risk Patients (5%)
A relatively small number of patients requiring the highest-intensity care.
• Rising-Risk Patients (15%–35%)
Those with one or two emerging comorbidities who may rise to the high-
risk pool. Rising-risk patients should be managed by a patient-centred,
multidisciplinary team anchored in primary care to achieve efficient,
economical care management and avoid unnecessary spending down the
road.
• Low-Risk Patients (60%–80%)
Patients for whom self-service care management will work. Reinforce low-
risk patients’ access to information and resources that will keep them
healthy and connected to the system, creating a convenient experience that
results in a high level of patient satisfaction.

22. Hospitals become “Health Centres”
• Standardisation
• Point-of-care testing
– Hospital, out-patient clinc, at home
• Hospitals: smaller, highly specialised, high-tech, “last
resort” function
– Emergency care
– Multidisciplinary care units
• “Branding” in a very specific segment
– Specialism, form of therapy
• Short stay, “care” hotels

Challenges in healthcare
Consequences for the hospitals:
- Management of care for chronic disease in the first line of care
- Second line = coach for the first line
- New role for the hospitals :
- shorter and less hospital stays
- specialized centers of expertise
- multidisciplinary teams
• Acute care: preliminary phase and follow up phase move from the
hospital to home care and flexible day care centers (care hotels)
• Patient centered healing environment
• Focus on privacy, safety and comfort
• Focus on efficiency for the care providers

26. PRoF: Chair UGent
Challenges in healthcare
Consequences for the financing of the care
• No longer based on volume nor activities
• Based on the level of care, quality and efficiency
• Scarce resources must be used optimally
Vision for the future:
• Hospitals and care centers for basic care
• Centers of expertise for advanced care
• Need for innovation and scientific research
 Urgently needed: a new model for financing our healthcare!
ProF-Chair at UGent

PRoF : the history

29. • “Patients will be in single rooms designed for safety
and infection prevention. Outfitted with wall-sized
video screens as well as cameras capable of extreme
close-ups and wide angels.”
Visionary PRoF 2011:
Patient Room of the Future

30. • “For the patient with multiple chronic diseases, much
of the care that currently involves hospitalizations
and visits to doctors’ offices will be conducted
through televisits and IT-enabled home care.”
Visionary PRoF 2012: Personalized
Residence of the Future

31. • “Patients will have a much greater role, and voice, in
the new healthcare system, and the technology of
the future will help them to manage their new
responsibilities. To sort out new symptoms,
customized research tools will be available.”
Visionary PRoF 2013:
Private caRe room of the Future

32. • “ The confused patient who begins to climb out of
the bed will hear the recorded voice of a trusted
relative, triggered by a bed sensor: “Mom, it’s Linda.
It’s okay, get back to bed.”
• A patient will simply say, Nurse, I’m in pain” and the
nurse will appear on the screen.”

PRoF Keywords

35. • Awareness: sick, disabled or elderly people should have a good feeling
about the concept.
• Minimal Comfort: the minimal level of comfort that patients or elderly
people need.
• Safety : bringing a feeling of safety to patients and elderly people .
• Privacy: personal privacy and cocooning are critical.
• Loneliness: elderly persons are increasingly lonely in modern societies.
• Non-stigmatizing : technically a product can be perfect but people may be
ashamed or humiliated when they have to use it.
• Intergenerational: provide the opportunity to stay at home as long as
possible and be surrounded by care from younger generations when they
become older.
• Flexibility: hospitals, healthcare facilities, and elderly houses should use
the space in a flexible way.
The PRoF keywords

36. The patient Recovery Room of the Future: PRoF 4.0 provides an answer to the trend
for more day care hospitalization
- Ageing population with more chronic diseases
- A new way of organizing care around the patient
- Financial restrictions
- Different role for the hospitals :
- part of a care chain
- only acute care
- short stays
- shortage of staff
- no longer a lot of beds and a bathroom in every room
- PRoF 4.0 = a combination of an open plan and recovery rooms like business seats
in an airplane
- Meets the key words: privacy, safety, comfort, not stigmatizing, intergenerational
and flexible
Social entrepreneurship is the attempt to draw upon business
techniques to find solutions to social problems.
