Bianca Buijck

Bianca Buijck is a Researcher in the Neurology department at Erasmus MC, a leading medical center affiliated with Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her work focuses on stroke care, cerebrovascular diseases, and healthcare quality improvement across multiple research domains.

Dr. Buijck's primary research interests center on stroke research, particularly prehospital identification of stroke and large vessel occlusion with attention to sex differences. She conducts significant work in healthcare quality improvement, developing frameworks for auditing integrated stroke care and creating indicators to measure quality in specialized settings like geriatric rehabilitation. Her research spans emergency medicine, primary care pathways, and healthcare system integration for stroke patients, examining how patients seek medical attention and how care systems can be optimized.

Analysis of Dr. Buijck's recent publications reveals a strong focus on practical applications of stroke care research. Her work examines patient decision-making pathways, sex disparities in stroke identification, value-based payment models for integrated stroke care, and quality measurement tools. These publications demonstrate her commitment to translating research into practical frameworks that improve patient outcomes through system-level changes.

Dr. Buijck collaborates extensively with a network of researchers and clinicians across multiple institutions. Her work involves both observational studies and qualitative case studies, often focusing on system-level improvements in stroke care delivery. She appears to be involved in several research initiatives including the LPSS and PRESTO Investigators groups, working to optimize stroke care pathways across the continuum from prehospital identification through rehabilitation.
