Description
Nick Mamo and five co-authors improve a Dutch care network for persistent symptoms in a 2025 paper. Conditions like functional disorders need joined-up care from many professionals, yet fragmented systems leave patients and staff frustrated. Their participatory study sat inside a regional network for a year, led by an action group of patients-by-experience and local professionals. The group picked goals and ran concrete actions to improve how the network works.
The paper reports which change processes proved realistic inside such a network. It also draws lessons on the conditions that make change stick, such as shared ownership and a facilitator embedded in the group. The focus is practical know-how for other networks.
