What problems did we face? many different caregivers frequented the clients departure of nurses / teams inconvenience of internal and external bureaucracy care was cut up financially not tenable

Viewpoint: simple organisation of people oriented care small teams of (district)nurses and caretakers in the neighbourhood close cooperation with other caregivers in the community independent supported by modern ICT

Implement new technique a.o. oriented on: customization creation of care independency for clients revaluation of care professionals

Strong in care and in the community stimulating care independency support of social system around clients use of possibilities in the community / neighbourhood cooperation with general practitioners cooperation with welfare and volunteers

The essence the relationship between caregiver and client give back profession to caregivers ‘What does a team need to provide good care’ optimum facilities as simple as possible satisfied clients, satisfied employees and satisfied general practitioners

Starting point of neigbourhood oriented work the team is responsible for the complete care process small self-managing teams (12-15 employees) in the neighbourhood (district)nurses and caretakers coaching instead of managing

a facilitating and supporting organisation procedures as less as possible and as simple as possible practical solutions smart back office for ICT stimulation of self control and self-reliance Starting point of neigbourhood oriented work

Approach 6 pilot teams in ‘Green Pastures’ neighbourhood-oriented and self-managing the support in the ‘Green Pasture’ existing management is not included in the transition

Situation in 2014 all teams in home care work neighbourhood-oriented (about 700 employees) the Neighbourhood Service Centre has been established 4 coaches, since coaches each coach 12 teams 1 manager Home Care

viewpoint being supported on central level of the company: leaders are communicating the viewpoint very consistently and considerately; persistence and time; be pure in the doctrine, but flexible in the implementation; Important aspects to make the change

create as much room as possible for participation and contradiction, but be clear about what is established in strategy and design; concentrate on the people that want to participate and don’t persist in the opponents.
