VOICE-OVER: The Centre for Population
Screening directs and coordinates

2
00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:07.040	align:middle
the seven national population
screening programmes

3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.680	align:middle
that are offered
by the Dutch Government.

4
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:14.120	align:middle
In this presentation, we explain
the core activities and responsibilities

5
00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:16.920	align:middle
of the Centre
for Population Screening.

6
00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:20.200	align:middle
There are seven
population screening programmes

7
00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:23.920	align:middle
offered by the Ministry
of Health, Welfare and Sport.

8
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:29.000	align:middle
Each of the seven screening programmes
is offered to a unique group of people.

9
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:34.680	align:middle
They include pregnant women, newborns
and adults in different age groups,

10
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.680	align:middle
without symptoms of the disease
under investigation.

11
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.720	align:middle
A large number of organisations carry out
the population screening programmes.

12
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.360	align:middle
Each party has
its own responsibilities and authority.

13
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.720	align:middle
Thanks to the joint efforts of these
organisations and their professionals,

14
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.440	align:middle
the population screening programmes
contribute to a healthier society.

15
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.520	align:middle
The Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport
is ultimately responsible

16
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:06.320	align:middle
for the national population
screening programme.

17
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.720	align:middle
The minister is at the head of
the organisation of screening programmes.

18
00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:14.640	align:middle
She makes final decisions,
determines the preconditions,

19
00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:18.760	align:middle
distributes assignments
and finances the programmes.

20
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.320	align:middle
The Ministry of Health,
Welfare and Sport

21
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:26.200	align:middle
has given the Centre for Population
Screening the assignment and the assets

22
00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:30.040	align:middle
to coordinate the seven
population screening programmes.

23
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.640	align:middle
The centre is also responsible for the
national influenza prevention programme.

24
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.880	align:middle
The task of the Centre for Population
Screening is to achieve health benefits

25
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.280	align:middle
through a range of high-quality
population screening programmes.

26
00:01:45.440 --> 00:01:49.680	align:middle
The screening programmes
should be accessible, safe and integrated

27
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.800	align:middle
within the healthcare system
at reasonable costs.

28
00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:59.600	align:middle
Effectiveness, quality and affordability
are therefore among the predominant criteria

29
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.440	align:middle
within
the screening programmes.

30
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:04.880	align:middle
The Ministry of Health,
Welfare and Sport

31
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.160	align:middle
has given the Centre
for Population Screening the assignment

32
00:02:08.320 --> 00:02:14.120	align:middle
and provided the finances to coordinate the
seven population screening programmes.

33
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:19.720	align:middle
The Centre for Population Screening
further distributes assignments

34
00:02:19.880 --> 00:02:23.720	align:middle
and finances
to the private and the public sectors.

35
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:30.000	align:middle
The tasks and responsibilities to implement
screening are devolved to executing parties

36
00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:34.080	align:middle
that, in the centre's experience,
are most competent.

37
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.800	align:middle
This is often done by setting up contracts
or agreements with executing parties.

38
00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:46.640	align:middle
The centre oversees all collaboration and
makes sure that it works out successfully.

39
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.800	align:middle
We will now give a more detailed example
of the key responsibilities

40
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.680	align:middle
of the Centre
for Population Screening.

41
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.360	align:middle
The centre either finances
population screening itself

42
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.680	align:middle
or directs
other organisations to do this.

43
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.880	align:middle
Financing is mainly achieved
through procurement or subsidies.

44
00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:09.640	align:middle
With procurement, detailed demands
and preferences are drafted,

45
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.960	align:middle
in regards to the provision
of a service or product.

46
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.720	align:middle
For example, a laboratory analysis
or a mammography machine.

47
00:03:17.880 --> 00:03:21.680	align:middle
The demands and preferences
are then published in the market,

48
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.800	align:middle
so private companies can compete for the
contract to deliver the service or product.

49
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.640	align:middle
The company that can deliver the service
or product at the best price-quality ratio

50
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.120	align:middle
is granted
a contract.

51
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.520	align:middle
With subsidies, an organisation
in the screening process,

52
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.280	align:middle
such as a midwife organisation
or a GP organisation,

53
00:03:42.440 --> 00:03:46.600	align:middle
is approached to do additional work
for the screening programme.

54
00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:51.520	align:middle
The quality requirements and the amount of
time that needs to be spent on each activity

55
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.840	align:middle
will be agreed on, and then the costs
for the additional work estimated.

56
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.480	align:middle
The Centre for Population Screening
is responsible

57
00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:05.400	align:middle
for executing or overseeing
the procurement and subsidy processes.

58
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.440	align:middle
The centre is in charge of assessing
quality and assuring the quality

59
00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:12.280	align:middle
of all seven
screening programmes.

60
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:18.160	align:middle
In many cases, a reference function,
an independent assessor, is set up

61
00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:23.200	align:middle
for assessing the quality of screening
professionals and screening equipment.

62
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.080	align:middle
Licences and permits are granted
by the assessor,

63
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.120	align:middle
and regular inspections
take place.

64
00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:34.920	align:middle
The assessor optimises and safeguards
medical, technical and physical quality.

65
00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:38.280	align:middle
The Centre for Population Screening
is responsible

66
00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:43.960	align:middle
for the quality of entire programmes
and designs quality assurance systems.

67
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:49.880	align:middle
It drafts guidelines, scripts,
training and accreditation requirements.

68
00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:55.400	align:middle
The centre is responsible
for ensuring good information management

69
00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.160	align:middle
within the screening process
and the executing organisations.

70
00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:04.840	align:middle
Digital information is crucial
in managing the primary process

71
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.640	align:middle
of planning, selecting, inviting
and screening the population.

72
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.120	align:middle
The Centre for Population Screening
directs huge IT systems and operations

73
00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:20.080	align:middle
on linking the information needed
from all kinds of different data sources.

74
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.760	align:middle
With the right information in the right
place, key processes can be monitored.

75
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.640	align:middle
The centre
is also responsible

76
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.440	align:middle
for monitoring
the quality of screening programmes

77
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.800	align:middle
and evaluating
aspects for improvement.

78
00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:39.560	align:middle
Each year, the Centre for Population
Screening publishes a monitor report

79
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.480	align:middle
on the key indicators
of each programme.

80
00:05:42.640 --> 00:05:46.640	align:middle
These monitors are prepared
by independent external parties.

81
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.640	align:middle
They are used
for accountability

82
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.080	align:middle
and for checking the effectiveness,
quality and affordability of the programmes.

83
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:59.920	align:middle
The centre also commissions scientific
evaluations from external research parties.

84
00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:06.680	align:middle
Strategies for optimisation, explanation of
trends and long-term revenues of the centre

85
00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:11.080	align:middle
are regularly evaluated
to improve the screening programmes.

86
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.720	align:middle
The centre is in charge
of balanced communication with the public,

87
00:06:15.880 --> 00:06:18.960	align:middle
with professionals
and with stakeholders.

88
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:24.400	align:middle
The Centre for Population Screening
is responsible for providing folders

89
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.160	align:middle
to invitees
and professionals.

90
00:06:27.320 --> 00:06:29.840	align:middle
Information in these folders
should be balanced,

91
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.000	align:middle
so invitees can make an informed decision
on whether or not to participate.

92
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.720	align:middle
The folders are always pretested, using
a panel of target group representatives.

93
00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:45.280	align:middle
The centre also actively updates
online information,

94
00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:49.720	align:middle
follows social media
and responds to social media.

95
00:06:49.880 --> 00:06:53.640	align:middle
The centre furthermore pools knowledge
from its broad network

96
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.640	align:middle
and guides innovations
throughout this network.

97
00:06:58.320 --> 00:07:01.640	align:middle
The broad network
is proactively maintained.

98
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.840	align:middle
Together with many partner organisations,
the centre produces and pools knowledge,

99
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.960	align:middle
and provides access to the knowledge
and expertise required

100
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.240	align:middle
to implement
screening programmes.

101
00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:18.120	align:middle
Together with partner organisations,
the Centre for Population Screening

102
00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:21.680	align:middle
signals, prepares
and implements new programmes,

103
00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:25.960	align:middle
and adapts existing programmes
on an ongoing basis.

104
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.080	align:middle
The centre takes the lead
in implementing major innovations

105
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.440	align:middle
and introducing
new screening programmes.

106
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.560	align:middle
It ensures that they are introduced
according to the latest insights

107
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.480	align:middle
within
the existing infrastructure.

108
00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:46.320	align:middle
Last but not least, the centre advises
and informs policymakers

109
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.080	align:middle
from the Ministry of Health,
Welfare and Sport on the latest issues.

110
00:07:52.280 --> 00:07:54.320	align:middle
The Centre for
Population Screening ensures

111
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.240	align:middle
that government policy
is implemented.

112
00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:01.360	align:middle
But also that knowledge and developments
from every day implementation

113
00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:04.280	align:middle
are channelled back
to policymakers.

114
00:08:05.880 --> 00:08:07.840	align:middle
The centre
considers it an honour

115
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.080	align:middle
to coordinate the seven
national population screening programmes

116
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:17.240	align:middle
and is dedicated to carrying this out
in a professional, business-like way.

117
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.120	align:middle
Thanks to
the joint efforts

118
00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:24.000	align:middle
of all the collaborating organisations
and their professionals,

119
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.720	align:middle
the Centre for Population Screening
directs and coordinates

120
00:08:27.880 --> 00:08:30.320	align:middle
the seven population
screening programmes

121
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.240	align:middle
with great passion,
expertise and transparency.

122
00:08:35.400 --> 00:08:39.560	align:middle
The centre hopes to continue
to deliver an important contribution

123
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.360	align:middle
to public health
in the Netherlands.

124
