Online tool helps people in making decisions on long-term care
People who need long-term care sometimes have to make fundamental decisions, e.g. on a preferred therapy or living situation. 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.
