Presenter bio

Dr Ludo Glimmerveen:

Ludo Glimmerveen (PhD) works as a research associate at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (department of Organization Sciences) and Ben Sajet Centrum (a research and innovation centre for long-term care in Amsterdam). In his work, Ludo studies care work and organization as a relational process. His doctoral thesis investigates citizen participation in long-term care, treating participation as a contested phenomenon that challenges established boundaries in how care is governed. Ludo’s current research projects zoom in on the role of relationships in the pursuit of good care, particularly looking at their importance for determining what ‘good’ care may look like in the first place.

Abstract:

Title: Citizens as Active Participants in Integrated Care: Challenging the Field’s Dominant Paradigms. International Journal of Integrated Care

Policy makers, practitioners and academics often claim that care users and other citizens should be ‘at the center’ of care integration pursuits. Nonetheless, the field of integrated care tends to approach these constituents as passive recipients of professional and managerial efforts. This paper critically reflects on this discrepancy, which, we contend, indicates both a key objective and an ongoing challenge of care integration; i.e., the need to reconcile (1) the professional, organizational and institutional frameworks by which care work is structured with (2) the diversity and diffuseness that is inherent to pursuits of active user and citizen participation. By identifying four organizational tensions that result from this challenge, we raise questions about whose knowledge counts (lay/professional), who is in control (local/central), who participates (inclusion/exclusion) and whose interests matter (civic/organizational). By making explicit what so often remains obscured in the literature, we enable actors to more effectively address these tensions in their pursuits of care integration. In turn, we are able to generate a more realistic outlook on the opportunities, limitations and pitfalls of citizen participation.
