Biography
Bastiën van der Hoeff was born in Culemborg (the Netherlands) on the 27th of June 1968. After V.W.O. (1980--1986) at the `Koningin Wilhelmina College' in Culemborg, he studied Electrical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology (EUT) for one year (1986--1987). From September 1987 to January 1995—with an interruption in 1989—he studied Industrial Engineering and Management Science at the EUT, finishing with a Master's thesis about risk management in an OR department. This Master's thesis was awarded by the Mignot foundation as best EUT Master's thesis of 1995 (second prize). After graduation he worked as a researcher and risk manager at the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven (the Netherlands) from January 1995 to June 1999. The data and information collected during this period resulted—in cooperation with the Safety Science Group of the Technology, Policy and Management Faculty of the Delft University of Technology—in this thesis. From January 1997 to April 2001, he worked for Ambulancehulpverlening Aleven Zevenaar (the Netherlands), first as quality manager and shortly after as joint director. Subsequently, he has been working as freelance consultant. From August 2003, he worked subsequently for CBO (Dutch Institute for Healthcare Improvement) and Atrium Medical Centre in Heerlen (the Netherlands). Since September 2005 he is working as a risk manager for academical hospital Maastricht (the Netherlands).
