Toon Wezenberg

After his training as a precision mechanic, Toon Wezenberg began to study business administration and logistics, and in particular the optimisation and automation of processes with various systems (ERP, CRM, CAD, DMS). After working at various companies in the industry, he became interested in business processes in the healthcare sector.

Since 2014, Toon has been working in partnership de Verbinding and applies his knowledge and experience from the industry to healthcare. In this, he focuses among other things on research, development and advice around information provision in healthcare.

He has conducted research into the desired data exchange in birth care. Based on the results of this research, he has developed a working method for this. This method is based entirely on existing methods and standards and can be applied to the entire health care system.

The CareCodex Foundation sees this method as the best solution for data exchange in healthcare with a guarantee for data security and data privacy. As an ambassador for the CareCodex Foundation, Toon continues to promote and expand the method.

Durk Berks

Durk Berks has been working as a gynaecologist in the Westfriesgasthuis in Hoorn since 2012. He sees the transition to integrated birth care as the formation of an equal team in which all care disciplines are involved, with the pregnant woman herself as the most important member. Within the transition to integral birth care, he is closely involved in the parallel development of ICT in his region, so that all team members have integral access to all relevant care information at all times.

He believes in connecting existing information systems through a central unit of language. Maximum quality is thereby guaranteed because (end) users can continue to use their own target-specific software package and, through the unity of language, a single virtual (integrated) file can be created together.

In addition, the linking of existing information systems requires a more specific definition of (control over one's own) privacy. This starts with giving the pregnant woman control over who can view what information. Durk finds it important that the solutions found are freely available and that no intellectual property arises. He is convinced that the solution found within birth care lays the foundation for the future, integrated care file.
