Description

Persons with sensory disabilities can use care for sensory disabled people through the Health Insurance Act (Zvw). This file contains data on claims for Wlz care in kind approved by the care offices and submitted to Vektis. The use of this file requires permission from the data provider. This consent can be obtained by making a description of the use of the data. This description shall be no longer than an A4 and shall include the following elements: short description of project, purpose limitation, years to be used and variables to be used. This description should be sent to the following email address: [address hidden - contact CBS]. SGZ will then contact the data provider to arrange permission. More information on how to access the data: > https://www.cbs.nl/en-en/our-services/custom-and-microdata/microdata-self-research ### Methodology In this file, the expenses and the extent of care for the sensory handicapped are given on a personal level. The declarations are aggregated by person, type of care by disability (visual, auditory or communicative) and start and end date. The volume per declaration is calculated on the basis of the number of recorded services and the corresponding time unit. In case of missing data in terms of volume, the volume is estimated on the basis of the hourly rates calculated from the complete records. From 2020 onwards, no distinction can be made between an auditory or communicative impairment. In addition to the care benefits to disability, the registration of Vektis also includes the supplement (costs for driving in front of the caregiver) and accommodation in the context of care for sensory disabled people. The costs of these services are allocated to the type of care for which they have been used. The volume of this performance is not taken into account. Due to their assignment to the different types of care in this microdata file, these services cannot be recognised as a separate item. ### Population Persons who have used care for sensory disabled persons (Zvw-funded) and were registered in the Personal Records Database in the relevant year.
