General practitioners report that in this city they see elderly people with a migration background only when problems pile up. They then have to arrange acute care and are unable to give real attention to all problems at hand.
Trailblaze
A GP asks me to help build a network in the city that can develop an approach to get these elderly people into the picture at an earlier stage. Together we build a network with the major care and welfare organizations in the city and the municipality. We experiment with new approaches and doing so, develop a workable approach. We organize an annual symposium to share our findings. The organisations sign a agreement in which they promise each other to make a joint effort to improve the support.
Result
Elderly people with a migration background are more likely to be noticed by healthcare and welfare organisations. All parties involved invest in the cultural sensitivity of their organisation.
