Karin van Leersum (RL Promoting Health and Personalised Care) and colleagues developed the online tool www.watikbelangrijkvind.nl together with clients, informal caregivers and independent care coordinators. ZonMw interviewed Karin about how this tool can help in making decisions and talking about the things that are important in life.
