Abstract

This study aims to make a structure-based diagnosis of the governance of the haematology network collaboration in Onco Oost. More specifically, this thesis examines whether there is a potential gap between the desired governance structure that realises the goals of the network and the actual governance structure. The primary goal of the network is to collaborate on giving patients with a haematological disease the best possible care. To help achieve this goal the governance structure needs to realise three subgoals of governance: setting goals, designing conditions and operational regulation. A structure that can realise these operates best when it scores low overall on the used design parameters: functional concentration, separation, specialisation of regulatory activities and specialisation of operational activities. In that case, the structure is not a cause of disturbances and it has enough regulatory potential disturbances. The governance structure that is discovered matches the desired governance structure pretty well. The network is governed by a network administrative organisation, which fits the network well. There are some gaps, but for the most part, the values on the design parameters are as low as possible considering the context. The specialisation of regulatory activity is now too low, there are no tasks defined in the board of the network. The board just handles what it faces, so no goals are being set or tracked in the network. Defining tasks and setting goals are points of improvement for the governance of the network. Concluding, the governance structure fits the network well and it helps them achieve the goals of the network.
