Health, Medicine and Life Sciences Minderbroedersberg Keywords: cardiac surgery, logistical measures, survival rates Cardiac surgery in its current form is a complex and labour-intensive pursuit within the medical profession. Efficiency and effectiveness are important to cost management and optimisation is imperative given the increasing age of patients.

If complications arise, such as kidney dialysis, age plays a crucial role, as the recovery and survival rate of patients aged 75 and older is virtually …

… patients with a high-risk of angioplasty or heart surgery can be detected earlier. This pre-hospital stratification appears to help avoid unnecessary transportation to the hospital of low-risk patients and to limit the use of medical care in this group. In addition, high-risk patients can possibly better be transported directly to an intervention hospital instead of a peripheral hospital. With this study, the researchers hope to be able to help patients with chest pain better and faster. Fac.

… Additionally, PsyScan helps the general practitioner and patient choose appropriate treatment. The tool was evaluated in a randomised controlled trial with 336 patients in which half of the patients received PsyScan. Participants in the PsyScan group showed better psychological outcomes and higher quality of life. Use of PsyScan did not result in increased costs. Currently, PsyScan is being made available for other healthcare organisations. Fac. Health, Medicine and Life Sciences Bestuursgebouw Minderbroedersberg 4-6 … Supervisors: dr. M. Spigt, prof.dr. G.J.
