Dr. R.C. (Rimke) Vos

As an Associate Professor of Implementation of Population Health Management, I serve as the principal investigator, work package leader, and/or co-supervisor of PhD-students for various projects focused on the co-creation, implementation, and evaluation of cross-domain healthcare improvement initiatives aimed at sensitive, inclusive and proactive care. I employ a range of methodologies and collaborate with stakeholders both within and outside the healthcare sector.
Within the Master Population Health Management, I coordinate and teach the course on Panel Management, I chair the Education Committee, and I am a member of the Master Scientific Council.
At the Department of Public Health and Primary Care and LUMC, I am responsible for ensuring the scientific quality of the department as member of the Scientific Committee, the Quality team and the LUMC Good Clinical Practice Committee As a member of Lifestyle4Health, I represent LUMC in setting the direction for the implementation of lifestyle interventions in healthcare.

As an experienced researcher in the healthcare settings, I am involved in clinical trials, cohort studies, mixed methods and implementation studies. I search for possibilities to improve patient outcomes, experience (given)care and costs by triangulation of methods. For this I use Population Health Management approaches, with a focus on diversity (sex & gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic position). More specifically, by using a panel-management approach, a method to aid risk stratification (taken both medical and social determinate of health into account), co-creation, implementation and evaluation of proactive care. It can be defined as ‘proactive management of a total population at risk for adverse outcomes through implementing various individual, organizational and cultural interventions based on a risk-stratified needs assessment and appropriate care for the population.
