Lisandro Zarate, General Manager at Roche Diagnostics Belgium, outlines three key priorities: 🔹 Closing the equity gap: Despite Belgium placing among the top EU spenders in overall healthcare investment, it continues to lag behind in preventable mortality outcomes. 🔹Recognising the value of diagnostics: Belgium invests proportionally less of its healthcare budget in diagnostic testing than its European peers. Increased investment can boost prevention, advance precision medicine, and ensure a sustainable healthcare system. 🔹Strengthening Belgium as an innovation hub: Partnering actively to build on Belgium’s position as a leading innovation center in the region. Welcome to the team, Lisandro! We look forward to working together toward these goals.

What is a new General Manager's first priority? For Lisandro Zarate, it starts with listening. In his first months at Roche Diagnostics Belgium, Lisandro will meet with customers, laboratory directors, and clinicians to understand their daily challenges. His goal: help Roche Diagnostics support them better and build a Belgian healthcare ecosystem that ranks among the most innovative in Europe.

When we talk about transitioning complex care to the home, hospitals are entirely right to put safety, trust, and quality first. There are real administrative, practical, and financial questions to resolve. To succeed, we must address two fundamental questions: Is it safe for the patient and is s/he ready? Is it safe for the medication, and is the home-setting expertise just as high as in the hospital? As Dr Melissa Cambron, Neurologist, AZ Sint-Jan Brugge AV, notes: "If those conditions are met, then I really think you can begin the next step." Ensuring patient safety, preventing medication waste, and verifying specialized training are the essential foundations of any successful home hospitalisation program. 👉 Read the full article to see how hospitals are safely transitioning care: https://lnkd.in/e7bi-ZjQ

How do we take a successful local initiative and replicate it on a larger scale? Drawing from real-world experience with models like Narsahome, Marina Libertiaux, , Coordinator Transmural Care, ELIPSE Network, talks about the NarsaHome model, which offers since 2018 oncological hospital treatments at the patient's place of residence: "The Narsahome model could be replicated elsewhere. That said, there are still some obstacles that come up regularly. And so inevitably, that limits the commitment, at the outset, of someone who could handle the coordination." To make decentralised care truly sustainable, we must support hospitals with funding structures that realistically cover the administrative effort of managing external networks, alongside programmes that build trust in the specialised expertise of home care staff. Overcoming these coordination bottlenecks is essential if we want to turn highly successful local pilots into standard, nationwide solutions for decentralised healthcare. Discover how healthcare leaders are addressing these scaling challenges to build stronger partnerships between hospitals and home care providers. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/e7bi-ZjQ
