Mediation in Healtcare

Conflicts in the healthcare system place a profound burden on those affected. When communication breaks down, emotions run high, and the trust between patient and healthcare provider is tested, the treatment relationship can be severely compromised. Especially in this sensitive situation, professional, independent advice is essential.
Healthcare mediation is a specialized form of mediation used to resolve conflicts within the healthcare system. The goal is to restore communication, trust, and cooperation, or—if necessary—to carefully conclude the treatment relationship.

PSYCHOMARKER Consulting specializes in healthcare mediation and psychosocial conflict counseling. I support patients, family members, healthcare providers, and institutions in resolving conflicts arising from medical treatment, care, support, or long-term care. My approach is based on independence, confidentiality, and expertise, and considers both the medical and human aspects of the conflict.

Ms. José Daemen is a mediator specializing in conflict resolution in the following areas:
  • Conflicts between patients and healthcare providers
  • Disputes regarding treatment and therapy
  • Complaint procedures
  • Tensions related to medical decisions
  • Ethical dilemmas
  • Conflicts with healthcare institutions

When is mediation appropriate in healthcare?

Mediation in healthcare is ideal when:
  • communication has broken down
  • emotions have taken over
  • the parties no longer understand each other
  • legal proceedings are imminent
  • trust has been severely damaged

Mediation then offers a safe and structured framework to resume communication.

Conflicts in the healthcare system

Frequent conflict situations

PSYCHOMARKER Consulting offers support in areas including:
  • Dissatisfaction with medical treatment
  • Complaints about treatment
  • Communication problems between patients and doctors
  • Disagreements about treatment policies
  • Conflicts within treatment teams
  • Tensions related to end-of-life care and palliative care
  • Grief and loss following medical events
  • Conflicts with nursing homes and other facilities

Conflicts in healthcare are rarely purely legal in nature. They touch upon trust, autonomy, vulnerability, and dependency. Therefore, mediation in healthcare requires specific expertise and experience in the care context.

Ms. José Daemen has worked for many years in various positions and in different care facilities in Limburg, most recently as Head of Customer Service. She therefore understands the different types of organizations and their specific challenges like no other.
