Strategic objectives
Quality-assured value-driven care
Realising value-driven care or value-based health care is a priority. Multi- and interdisciplinary consultation, with close involvement of the patient and family, is paramount. Our daily efforts are focused on improving the quality of care and enhancing the patient experience, with special attention to the affordability of care. Every patient can count on quality-assured health care. We pay attention to all patient needs.
High-tech expert care, innovation and testing
You can come to us for general and specific high-tech expert care. We are constantly adapting both areas to align with the latest scientific developments.
Stimulating work environment
The personal commitment of all our physicians and staff determines our quality of care. We all work together on the development of a stimulating working environment.
Integrated care
The increasing complexity of care requires an integrated approach. The targeted implementation of technology us collaborate with other care providers beyond the walls of (health care) organisations and facilitates a smooth information exchange. We are committed to 'connected care' to ensure continuity of care for all of our patients.
Strategic partnerships
It is important to look beyond your own way of doing things. We therefore pursue strategic partnerships in order to measurably improve quality.
Sustainable and financially sound
Only a sustainable and financially sound organisation can achieve our quality goals. We take care of this in consultation with physicians and employees.
Timeline
We look back on a centuries-long tradition of health care, during which we have evolved into an innovative organisation where patient experience and quality take center stage.
Our core values
Our staff are committed to putting Compassionate Care into practice every day. Together, we are building a committed organisation, where every patient feels enveloped by care.
Hospital experience
Together, we are working towards an environment where patients, visitors and staff feel comfortable. Several working groups (e.g. patient empowerment, art in the hospital) actively contribute to this.
