In the area of pharmacology a growing number of initiatives are being undertaken, ranging from the provision of medication for the first few days following hosital discharge, to delivering in-home medication for intravenous therapy. A last category of transmural care can be seen on this last screen,
Screen 50 (epilogue: Nel Kerkstra)
The woman you see is a nurse that is employed by a home care organization but is working within the hospital. She visits patients that go home to define, within the hospital, the kind of care that they will need when they get home. In this way the continuity of care is guaranteed.
And with this last example of transmural care I would like to finish my presentation. I have given you a lot of information and I would not be surprised if you have many questions. Fortunately, we have another one and a half day to go, so I trust there will be enough opportunity for you to pose your questions. For this moment I thank you for your attention.
