Experience: “Because of ‘Expertise mapped’ we had to adopt a vision, as a patient organisation, on the expertise we need from healthcare professionals. We also used this vision for our new information materials. With the knowledge maps we now have a complete overview on healthcare for patients. The interviews with the centres of expertise also strengthens our collaboration with the centres of expertise. A win-win situation!”

Experience: “The phospholamban gene mutation (PLN) is recently discovered. Thanks to ‘Expertise mapped’ we could create an overview of the available expertise, very fast and easy. What I really like about ‘Expertise mapped’ is that it visualises the perception of patients as well as the perception of healthcare professionals. We hope many patients will use the knowledge maps.”
