Daniëlle Cattel is an assistant professor of health economics at Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management (ESHPM), Erasmus University Rotterdam. She holds a bachelor's degree in health sciences (cum laude) and a master's degree in health economics, policy, and law. Her research focuses mainly on the design, implementation, and effects of alternative payment models for healthcare providers, as well as on risk adjustment for health plan payment, and consumer cost-sharing models. The central research question of her dissertation was ‘How can financial incentives in consumer and provider payment be designed to facilitate value in health care?’. This dissertation aimed to provide insights into key issues in the design of VBP incentives for consumers and providers, and in associated tradeoffs and incentive effects. In doing so, Daniëlle contributed to the body of knowledge concerning smarter choices in payment system design and insights may help stakeholders with (re)designing existing and future consumer and provider payment models. As a teacher, Daniëlle has been involved in the bachelor and premaster program 'health sciences' and the master program 'health economics, policy, and law' at ESHPM.
