This rapport will be the base for a description towards the ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. Therefore some recommendations will be included for the content of the description and the execution of an expert meeting.
AAI has a potential to contribute to the Dutch healthcare system. Raising awareness about AAI among stakeholders who can possibly contribute to research, quality and finance is highly recommended, as well as to improve the search for possible grants to execute more research on efficiency and
effectiveness of AAI.
To arrive at a better targeted description, an expert meeting with different stakeholders is recommended. Possible participants of this meeting may be: experts and professionals on AAI,
ZonMw may perform a mediating role by addressing the followings points:
Come to a standard definition of AAI, supported by all stakeholders and in consideration of international definitions.o AAM should receive a supported definition.
Develop a shared research agenda in which is described: o The focus of research.o Interventions that are sufficiently studied and which are not.
o Interventions which are the most promising and should be subject of additional research. o Animal welfare issues which need more research.
What are possible financial resources for AAI? o Is there support for finance of AAI? o What is needed to create support?o To which interventions finance should be allocated?
How will a quality system be developed in which also individual executers are reached? o Who will be responsible for the development of quality criteria?o How will criteria be implemented and who will be in charge to control the accurate application of these criteria in the working field?
