The Hand Wrist Study Group originates from a long-standing collaboration between the Erasmus MC (dept. Rehabilitation Medicine & Plastic Surgery), Xpert Clinics Hand- en polszorg, and Xpert Handtherapie. Our daily work involves a variety of activities: from developing and implementing tools for data collection in clinical settings, large scale analysis of health outcomes and creating feedback mechanisms and interventions targeted at improving health outcomes.

​

A multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, data scientists, and engineers is focussed on ensuring we collect and analyze our data in such a way to provide insights that can improve the quality of care. See the drop down menu for team members within the different disciplines.

​

We are actively collaborating with ICHOM to develop consensus on a standard set for hand and wrist disorders. We won both the Achmea Quality Award (2014) and the Value-Based Health Care Patient Outcome Award (2016) for our efforts.
