Introduction

Will we all still have access to hospital care in Amsterdam in 2020? Or do we have to travel to Utrecht or Brussels for specific care?

We are all living longer have higher demands for quality. Technology and ICT are devoloping in high speed. How to finance that? Will the Netherlands be a province of the European Union by than? And are the negotiators from the health insurance cmpanies taken over by European ones or even Azian or American? Who knows. All scenarios were more or less possible, when we started this 8 weeks parttime project.

In order to investigate the different possibilities we researched literature, had interviews with 3 professionals (CEO, Planning & Control, Construction) and our professor Erasmus.

These sources of information form the basis under the scenarios:

Scenarios

I like the coaching session, and think you have a good command of the topic. The key challenge is now going to take the stories we talked about (and others) and put them together in NEW and interesting ways. Look at which stories you think fit well together and build the scenarios from that.
Good Luck - D


1. The new process
2. Abandoning collective base insurance
3. Lifestyle "the health community system"
4. Solidarity within families, shift from individualism to collectivism in Amsterdam
