"The SAZ unites 28 regional hospitals, which are together making the move from being hospitals to a health organization," says Bert Kleinlugtenbeld, President of the SAZ. "In doing so, the strength of the SAZ is that we act together and learn from each other. Our strategic direction is to move care to the patient's home wherever possible. We also see an important role for prevention. In making this move, removing the burden from the patient and the care provider is central. With Philips, we will do this by using the latest technological innovations in the field of patient monitoring and population health management, strengthening our cooperation in patient-centric care.”
Through this collaboration with the SAZ, our connected care solutions can be scaled up more easily within the Netherlands’ regional hospitals. Our goal is to improve care by using technology to relieve the burden on patients and caregivers.
