“…Most stakeholders expressed differing views regarding the direction that current financial incentives could influence and argued for a different structure. Similarly, other studies have recognised an intense debate regarding the benefits of complex financial incentives in healthcare 34 35. In the Netherlands in particular, financial incentives have become more popular since 2006 due to the introduction of a free market structure in healthcare 34.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to obtain an in-depth perspective from stakeholders involved in access to kidney transplantation to pave the way for solutions in improving access to kidney transplantation. This study qualitatively explored factors influencing optimal access to kidney transplantation from a broad stakeholder perspective.DesignA qualitative study was performed using semistructured interviews both in focus groups and with individual participants. All interviews were recorded, transcribed and coded according to the principles of grounded theory.SettingParticipants were healthcare providers (geographically spread), patients and (former living) kidney donors, policy-makers and insurers.ParticipantsStakeholders (N=87) were interviewed regarding their perceptions, opinions and attitudes regarding access to kidney transplantation.ResultsThe problems identified by stakeholders within the domains—policy, medical, psychological, social and economic—were acknowledged by all respondents. According to respondents, more efforts should be made to make healthcare providers and patients aware of the clinical guideline for kidney transplantation. The same opinion applied to differences in medical inclusion criteria used in the different transplantation centres. Stakeholders saw room for improvement based on psychological and social themes, especially regarding the provision of information. Many stakeholders described the need to rethink the current economic model to improve access to kidney transplantation. This discussion led to a definition of the most urgent problems for which, according to the respondents, a solution must be sought to optimise access to kidney transplantation.ConclusionsStakeholders indicated a high sense of urgency to solve barriers in patient access to kidney transplantation. Moreover, it appears that some barriers are quite straightforward to overcome; according to stakeholders, it is striking that this process has not yet been overcome. Stakeholders involved in kidney transplantation have provided directions for future solutions, and now it is possible to search for solutions with them.
