Siemens Healthineers Value Partnerships Case Study: ZGT (Ziekenhuisgroep Twente) - Transforming care delivery in a challenging emergency department setting

Strengthening the competitive situation through a renewed long-term partnership at

Ziekenhuisgroep Twente , Netherlands

ZGT (Ziekenhuisgroep Twente), Netherlands, was looking for a trusted partner to enable them to accommodate their increased patient demand at the emergency department in Almelo. Furthermore, the department’s space was too limited, and the lack of modern technology was causing significant process delays. As a consequence, the Almelo ED faced critical bottlenecks, resulting in treatment delays and bad patient experiences. The engagement with Siemens Healthineers Value Partners for Healthcare Consulting enabled them to identify the critical obstacle, define improvement measures and re-design their workflow.

“Looking back on 10 years of good cooperation and support, we are pleased that ZGT will once again work in a Value Partnership with Siemens Healthineers for radiology, including nuclear medicine.”
