Shear in FRP reinforced concrete - Development of a consistent, experimental and theoretical characterization strategy for members without transverse reinforcement KU Leuven
Concrete reinforced with FRP reinforcement has excellent structural performance accompanied by high durability and resistance to corrosion allowing for material savings thanks to a reduced concrete cover of up to 50% compared to conventional steel reinforced concrete structures. However, a consistent mechanical description of shear behaviour in FRP reinforced concrete members without transverse reinforcement is lacking, so far, which hinders ...

Quantification of the influence of FRP strengthening on robustness indicators for concrete structures Ghent University
Numereous practical aspects prevent the assessment of the robustness of existing concrete structures as well as the objective comparison of robustness increasing measures with respect to FRP strengthening. This research focuses on developing a full-probabilistic framework for the structural reliability quantification of FRP strengthened structures, a practically applicable robustness assessment framework considering stress-redistribution and ...

Goal oriented care as a catalyst for person centered integrated care : the implementation of goal oriented care in the context of the primary care reform in Flanders Ghent University
Introduction
Care for patients with complex problems is often offered from a disease-oriented approach. However, for individuals with chronic and complex care needs, this approach tends to overlook the needs and values of the individual and often leads to fragmented care as different providers focus on different goals. Goal-oriented care implies a shift from disease- and problem-oriented care to care that starts from the patient's ...
Development of patient-centred home care quality indicators (HC-QIs) for clinical integration of primary care based on the interRAI home care assessment KU Leuven
Background: Only 37% of primary care providers in the Commonwealth Fund are regularly notified by home care providers about important changes in the health status of clients. This service gap is one of many drivers behind the global pursuit of clinical integration, or the coordination of health services across jurisdictions, disciplines, and time. Improving integration can enhance efficiency, quality of care, and patient quality of life. ...
Digitized evidence based transmural care programs in a network between primary care and hospital: impact on quality of care and patient experience KU Leuven
Present healthcare is characterized by patients with multiple and chronic conditions, due to aging and medical technological evolutions. Another increasing trend in healthcare is short-term hospitalization (32% of all admissions in secondary care in 2014) (Agentschap Zorg en Gezondheid. n.d.).
Patients nowadays are frequent users of hospitals, primary care and even increasingly self-care (Allen, ...
Marketization of care and social justice: a public administration – social work perspective on the meaning of personal care budgets in care for mentally disabled people. Ghent University
With this interdisciplinary project, we want to study the right to care for mentally disabled people in changing policy and administrative context. Via the combination of public administration and social work knowledge, we want to investigate the administrative and organisational conditions for the right to care in the changing system of personal care budgets in Flanders.
