Biographical note: Jason Rodriquez's research aims to understand the organizational dynamics of health care provision. In particular he focuses on how care workers give meaning to their labor, and in turn how those meanings are shaped by organizations. In pursuing these issues, he does primarily ethnographic research in institutional settings such as nursing homes and hospitals. His book, Labors of Love, for example, examines how the fee-for-service payment system shapes nursing home care. His most recent project examines the construction of teamwork in an intensive care unit at an academic medical center.
Co-referee
Hester van de Bovenkamp will respond to the keynote lecture. Hester is an associate professor in the Health Care Governance department of Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM) at the Erasmus University.
Lecture
Ruud Hendriks (Maastricht University) will talk about body-sensitive approaches in dementia care. These include creative and artistic approaches (such as in theatre, visual arts, storytelling and clowning). Recognition of people’s bodily potentials opens up new opportunities to connect with people with dementia in respectful and honest ways. However, it also makes people with dementia vulnerable to new forms of disrespect.Programme 10.00 – 14.00 hrs
