Abstract

Current developments regarding the COVID-19 virus show that e-health is a valuable addition to healthcare interventions. Due to unfamiliarity with both clients and referrers, this is not yet being used optimally. The result is that clients have to wait too long before they get to the right place for their care. Movement in Development wants to integrate e-health into the intervention program that has been specially developed for families with a child with long-term pain or fatigue complaints. Our goal is that referrers can refer easily and families can find us easily. This way they can experience the benefits of a mix of face-to-face consultations with e-health consultations. By using digital forms of guidance, fewer face-to-face treatments are required and the self-reliance and independence of parents and children within their recovery process is increased. This reduces healthcare costs and saves on labor. The digital resources strengthen the quality of care, because encouraging self-reliance and independence also ensures a better result and faster recovery. Recovery and insight into their own health in the broadest sense of the word ensures an increase in the quality of life of the children and their families.
