Why Zorg&ICT matters
Zorg&ICT is where the Dutch healthcare ecosystem comes together. Procurement leads, clinical informatics teams, software vendors and policy makers share the same floor for two days — and the conversations that happen there tend to move faster and more candidly than anywhere else.
For Qubiz Healthcare, it is an important moment in the year to listen. We are builders first, and we only build well when we understand what the people on the front lines of care are actually dealing with.
What we heard on the floor
The conversations at our stand this year centred around three recurring themes:
- Interoperability is still the hard problem.Despite years of progress on HL7 FHIR and MedMij standards, organisations are still wrestling with fragmented data estates. EHRs that don't speak to scheduling systems, scheduling systems that don't feed workforce management tools.
- AI readiness is a data infrastructure question. Almost every organisation we spoke to was interested in AI — but the question was not which model to use. It was whether their data was structured and governed well enough to make AI useful and safe.
- Compliance and speed feel like opposites, but don't have to be. NEN 7510, AVG, ISO 27001 — the regulatory surface in Dutch healthcare is real. But we have learned that the teams who design for compliance from the start ship faster in the long run, not slower.
Our perspective on healthcare technology
Qubiz Healthcare is the specialised practice inside Qubiz focused on building production-grade software for regulated healthcare environments. We work across the Dutch and broader European market on platforms for care coordination, clinical data integration and workforce scheduling.
We believe that the next wave of meaningful innovation in healthcare will not come from replacing clinicians with AI — it will come from removing the friction that keeps clinicians from doing their best work. That means cleaner data flows, better-designed interfaces, and systems that are trustworthy enough to act on.
Connect with us
If you were at Zorg&ICT and we spoke — or if you missed us and want to continue a conversation — we would be glad to hear from you. We are particularly interested in talking with teams working on care coordination, patient data governance, and clinical workflow automation.
