Question

How to improve the collaboration with police and medical emergency services?

Problem description

The collaboration with police and medical emergency services is currently non-existent

Impact - effect

We notice that there is a distinct lack of emergency interventions during the crisis, and this because of a lack of cooperation.  We observe that some situations require a more rapid intervention in order to learn about the reason of the crisis.  Some home treatments are not started up because, at the time of our intervention, the situation is no longer urgent.  The problem is that, in this way, we can’t work on avoiding the recurrence of the urgency.

To do

To do: to realise an effective and genuine cooperation, clear and operational procedures.  After making connections on the level of this network, we can also provide connections within the acute care pathway at user level. Isn’t it a good suggestion to organise a meeting with fire brigade and police, to create a first bond, to get better known with their functioning, to explain the purpose of the starting up of 2A-teams, and to express our willingness to cooperate and to share a common functional working procedure?
