To stimulate grid-connected solar PV systems on private dwellings, the Netherlands currently have a net metering policy, but questions have been raised on its continuation. In this study, several alternative policy options were assessed on the financial case for private homeowners investing in a PV system (simple payback time), on purchasing behaviour (using a technology adoption model), and on governmental costs. While continuation of net metering policy leads to ongoing improvement of the financial case up to levels that could be considered overstimulation, three policy alternatives can be set up so that they stabilise simple payback times of recent and future generations of PV systems. Under these alternative instruments, deployment of PV systems in this market segment is indicatively estimated to be 15–20% lower by the year 2030 than with continuation of net metering policy, while corresponding governmental cost reduction indications would be more than 50%. We conclude that from a cost effectiveness point of view there is reason to change to an alternative instrument. We did not find any decisive arguments pro or con either of the three alternative instruments, neither on the basis of the three main impacts analysed nor from other aspects reviewed more qualitatively.

In all societies, the burden and cost of allergic and chronic respiratory diseases are increasing rapidly. Most economies are struggling to deliver modern health care effectively. There is a need to support the transformation of the health care system for integrated care with organizational health literacy. MASK (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK) (1), a new development of the ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) initiative, and POLLAR (Impact of Air POLLution on Asthma and Rhinitis, EIT Health) (2), in collaboration with professional and patient organizations in the field of allergy and airway diseases, are proposing reallife integrated care pathways (ICPs) (3)-centred around the patient with rhinitis and using mHealth monitoring of environmental exposure (4). An expert meeting took place at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, December 3, 2018. The aim was to discuss nextgeneration care pathways: (I) Patient participation, health literacy and self-care through technology-assisted "patient activation"; (II) Implementation of care pathways by pharmacists and (III) Next-generation guidelines assessing the recommendations of GRADE guidelines in rhinitis and asthma using real-world evidence (RWE) assessed by mobile technology. The EU (5) and global political agendas are of great importance in supporting health care transformation. MASK has been recognized by DG Santé as a Good Practice (6) in the field of digitally-enabled, integrated, person-centred care. The one-day meeting objectives were clear (Figure 1). The meeting was followed by a workshop. The present paper reports the background of the two-day meeting. [.] ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

In all societies, the burden and cost of allergic and chronic respiratory diseases are increasing rapidly. Most economies are struggling to deliver modern health care effectively. There is a need to support the transformation of the health care system into integrated care with organizational health literacy. MASK (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK) (1), a new development of the ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) initiative (2), and POLLAR (Impact of Air POLLution on Asthma and Rhinitis, EIT Health) (3), in collaboration with professional and patient organizations in the field of allergy and airway diseases, are proposing real-life ICPs—centred around the patient with rhinitis and using mHealth monitoring of environmental exposure. An expert meeting took place at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, December 3, 2018. The aim was to discuss nextgeneration care pathways following an ongoing political agenda (4,5): (I) patient participation, health literacy and self-care through technology-assisted "patient activation"; (II) implementation of care pathways by pharmacists and (III) Next-generation guidelines assessing the recommendations of GRADE guidelines in rhinitis and asthma using real-world evidence (RWE) assessed by mobile technology.
