Afgelopen donderdag kwamen Acute Zorg Euregio en de universiteiten Twente en Münster samen om het BRIDGE-project vooruit te helpen en de Co-Creation Workshops voor nieuwe ideeën in de gezondheidszorg te plannen die eind dit jaar starten. We blijven bruggen bouwen tussen onderzoek en praktijk!

Figure 1.7 illustrates the extent to which countries that spend more on health have better health outcomes. 
There is a clear positive association between health spending per capita and life expectancy at birth (Figure 1.7). Among the
38 OECD countries, 18 spend more and have higher life expectancy than the OECD average (top right quadrant). A further
11 countries spend less and have lower life expectancy than the OECD average (bottom left quadrant).
Of particular interest are countries that deviate from this basic relationship. Eight countries spend less than the OECD average
but achieve higher life expectancy overall (top left quadrant). This may indicate relatively good value for money of health systems,
notwithstanding the fact that many other factors also have an impact on health outcomes. These eight countries are Korea, Spain,
Italy, Israel, Portugal, Chile, Costa Rica and Slovenia. The only country in the bottom right quadrant is the United States, with
much higher spending than all other OECD countries but lower life expectancy than the OECD average.

Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages).

The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate and below-average life expectancy.

Vor 30 Jahren trat das Schengener Abkommen in Kraft und ermöglichte nahtlose Reisen, Geschäfte und grenzüberschreitende Projekte. Die grenzüberschreitende Gesundheitsversorgung, die wir in BRIDGE organisieren, wäre ohne Schengen nicht möglich! Ein Hoch auf 30 Jahre offene Grenzen! #Zusammenarbeit

30 jaar geleden werd het Schengenakkoord van kracht, dat naadloos reizen, zakendoen en grensoverschrijdende projecten mogelijk maakte. De grensoverschrijdende gezondheidszorg die we in BRIDGE organiseren zou niet mogelijk zijn zonder Schengen! Op 30 jaar open grenzen! #Schengen30 #Samenwerking

30 years ago, the Schengen Agreement came into effect, enabling seamless travel, business, and cross-border projects. The cross-border healthcare we are organising in BRIDGE wouldn't be possible without Schengen! Here’s to 30 years of open borders! #Schengen30 #EuropeWithoutBorders #Collaboration
