About me

I am a 4th year PhD. Candidate working at the Erasmus University Rotterdam on the ‘wicked problem’ of cost and performance management in healthcare. I will be defending my PhD in 2025. I am also affiliated with a large Dutch hospital, where I run a value-based healthcare project in fertility care (medically assisted reproduction).

I developed a new method for measuring and evaluating entire patient trajectories according to their costs, outcomes and quality from the perspective of patients. This had significant practical impact (reduced costs, improved outcomes, cost transparency, improved patient quality). I implemented a time-driven activity-based costing system, a pluralistic performance dashboard, and enabled three care transitions to more effective and efficient ways of working (based on 10 years of clinical data concerning approx. 6200 patients) so that I could study how clinicians and medical managers react to, use and implement these systems or metrics.

My academic work sits at the intersection of managerial accounting, organizational science, and technology. I have taught and developed Msc., Bsc. and MBA level courses on the topics of managerial accounting, value-based healthcare, and digitalization/datafication and technology in healthcare.
