Frequently asked questions about chronic care - integrated care for diabetes and CVRM

If we know that you have (a risk of) cardiovascular disease, you are advised to come for a check-up at least once a year with the practice nurse Jettie Laarman at our practice. How do check-ups with the practice nurse (POH-S) work nowadays?
1. You are registered with Star-SHL (the laboratory) for an automatic reminder service. This is useful, because it means neither we nor you will forget that it is time for a check-up again.
2. When it is time for the annual check-up, Star SHL will invite you by letter to have a blood test. You are usually invited for the annual check-up in the month of your birthday.
3. One week after the blood test, make an appointment for a double consultation with Jettie Laarman
If you prefer to make an appointment online, you can also do so via the UwZorgOnline app (our patient app). You then make 2 consecutive appointments (40 minutes). (see also Patient portal - GP practice Hohmann & De Vet in Rotterdam (uwzorgonline.nl))
During the check-up, we discuss your blood test results, take measurements (blood pressure and weight) and talk with you about your medication and your lifestyle.

Yes, that is possible. After your blood has been taken for the check-up, the follow-up can now also take place online. This offers convenience and flexibility, so you can do the check-up at a time that suits you best.
