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.
