Prof. Mieke Rijken, PhD
Senior researcher General Practice Care, Person-centred Integrated Care

Research

As a senior researcher I am based in Nivel’s research programme General Practice Care. FurthermoreI am a part-time professor Health and Social Services at the University of Eastern Finland. My research focuses on the needs of persons with multiple chronic conditions or other complex health problems, and how health and social care could best be organized to meet these needs. As such, I study the design, implementation and outcomes of person-centred integrated care models in the Netherlands and other countries.
