Heleen Haspels

Heleen Haspels is a Researcher at Erasmus University Medical Center within the Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care department, focusing on healthcare transitions for children with medical complexity. Her work addresses critical gaps in hospital-to-home care coordination and system-level interventions for vulnerable pediatric populations.

Her primary research areas include children with medical complexity, transitional care models, healthcare professional workflows, and family-centered care systems. She employs systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and prospective cohort methodologies to evaluate care coordination effectiveness and develop standardized outcome measures.

Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals consistent emphasis on core outcome development, transitional care unit effectiveness, and healthcare professional perspectives. Her work demonstrates strong methodological diversity (Delphi studies, focus groups, cohort analyses) with recurring themes of quality-of-life measurement, self-efficacy assessment, and Netherlands-specific healthcare system adaptation.
