Due to the aging of the population and developments in medical technology, the number of older persons with (chronic)health problems will increase substantially during the next decades. This will have consequences for the health care system.
The Trimbos Institute participates in improving the quality of the care system in the Netherlands by monitoring the
Mental Health Care for Older People (MEMO) and providing guidelines for mental health care for elderly. The development of innovative interventions and measuring instruments for the quality of life and quality of care are part of our expertise.
