This article (by de Jong, Wynia, Geluk-Bleumink, 2018) presents an interesting example of the “Care for Elderly Program” in which a patient-centric approach is adopted. The Dutch National Care for the Elderly Programme was an initiative organized by the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development (ZonMw) between 2008 and 2016. The programme aimed to collect knowledge about frail elderly, to assess their needs, and to provide person-centred and integrated care better suited to their needs. Putting the needs of elderly people at the heart of the programme and ensuring their active participation was a key to the programme’s success.
