Better healthcare, improved quality of life, containable costs
Our purpose is to enable a proper balance between good healthcare, great quality of life, and manageable costs. We can’t do this by ourselves. We empower everyone who receives, provides or manages healthcare, to make well-informed decisions. How? By giving them timely access to meaningful information.
We drive continuous and sustainable healthcare improvement. We assist…
Providers
Providers and provider associations in cure, care and dental health understand the impact of treatments on patients/clients, clinical outcomes and costs compared to peers.
Payers
Payers understand where and how they can get the value for money. Research shows that good outcomes and containable costs correlate.
Healthcare consumers
Consumers and consumer advocates understand that providers actively consider their needs and preferences. We empower meaningful freedom of choice.
Governments
Governments manage healthcare accessibility, quality and expenditure.
Life sciences & research institutes
Life science firms and research institutes get access to valid, relevant, trustworthy information from real-life data, whilst complying to privacy & security regulations.

SAZ hospitals and Value2Health working together towards value-based healthcare
Eleven regional hospitals in the Netherlands have joined forces within the value-based healthcare programme of SAZ hospitals (a collaboration of general hospitals) in collaboration with Value2Health. The hospitals started with diagnosis groups for colorectal cancer and hip fractures. The results will lead to quality improvements and help demonstrate the effectiveness of the care provision. In contrast to most existing initiatives, these regional hospitals aim at addressing value-based healthcare within the chain in the region.With this programme SAZ hospitals want to improve the objectivised quality of healthcare and demonstrate the effectiveness of the care provision, starting with a concretisation of value-based healthcare for the patient groups of colorectal cancer and hip fractures. To this end, based on existing data benchmarks made out of outcomes and costs, these results are exchanged and discussed openly and transparently between the participating regional hospitals.Trimestral improvement cycle
By using the existing data as starting point, there is only a short wait between the beginning and feedback on the initial results. The process also follows a continuous cycle of improvement. Value2Health provides interactive dashboards and supplementary tools so that hospitals can have easy access to the benchmark information, which is updated every three months. Each hospital is notified on a monthly basis of its distinctive performance compared to the other participating hospitals and the previous period.
This summer the initial results will be linked to the hospitals, and in early September the first mirror meeting will take place in which all participating hospitals will discuss the results openly and transparently, and especially share the story behind the numbers. Next, these hospitals will get started with integral improvement trajectories and will have the opportunity to learn from each other in the process.Value-based chain care
‘Our dream is that, based on the results, we as hospitals can further improve care in collaboration with the chain partners. This is where the strength of regional hospitals lies: in solid collaboration within the chain, and valued thanks to the people-oriented care’, explains SAZ chairman of the board Bert Kleinlugtenbeld.Eleven hospitals are participating in the first two diagnosis groups: seven on colorectal cancer and six on hip fractures. The participating hospitals are: Beatrix Hospital (RIVAS healthcare group), BovenIJ Hospital, Bravis Hospital, Ommelander Hospital Groningen, Röpcke-Zweers Hospital (Saxenburgh group), St. Anna Hospital, Regional Hospital Queen Beatrix (Santiz), Van Weel-Bethesda Hospital, St. Jans Hospital Weert, Nij Smellinghe Hospital, and ZorgSaam Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. Whatever is developed in one specific region and hospital, it can be linked, strengthened and improved through the same development in other regions and hospitals. This is why SAZ is also involved in making the connection to the other SAZ hospitals.In 2019 other teams at SAZ hospitals will get started with different diagnosis groups. ‘In this way, as an association of collaborating hospitals we are taking the right steps towards value-based healthcare and the corresponding value-based purchase of care’, says Bert Kleinlugtenbeld.

DICA lanceert Clinical Audit Module
DICA heeft 21 juni op het jaarlijkse DICA congres een nieuwe generatie interactieve dashboards gepresenteerd voor haar kwaliteitsregistraties: ValueBase Clinical Audit Module.
Dit dashboard maakt kwaliteit van zorg inzichtelijk, op basis van patiëntprofielen die gebruikers zelf kunnen selecteren en aanpassen. Door middel van filters, kunnen ziekenhuizen bijvoorbeeld zien wat het effect is van hemicolectomie bij patiënten met een Charlson index +2 in de leeftijdscategorie 64-72 jaar.
