AMMA Insurance

AMMA was founded in 1944 by several health care providers with the aim of defending more effectively the insurance interests of the (para)medical sector.

Active since 1944, AMMA is the Belgian market leader in (para)medical professional liability coverage, as well as the privileged partner for 50,000 colleague healthcare providers and more than 30 Belgian hospitals.

Today, healthcare providers manage AMMA in strong collaboration with insurance specialists. Healthcare providers are also represented on our Board of Directors.

Medical Risk Management through prevention

The prevention of medical risks is a particularly important subject for AMMA. For more than 5 years, AMMA has been implementing a strategy and has set up a structure and provided resources to help our members to implement prevention plans in their practice.

Thanks to its status as a mutual insurance company and its experience, AMMA actively participates in a series of research and discussion projects on medical liability and shares its knowledge with its member-policyholders in order to help improve the management of medical risks in the medical world and in the hospital environment in particular.

AMMA is the only insurer in Belgium to have hired a Medical Risk Manager (Mrs Olga Apaligan) responsible for coordinating and leading this project of sharing information on medical liability law with its members. She has many years of experience in medical liability law as a lawyer and worked in particular for SPF Public Health, AFMPS and FAM. She regularly collaborates with external consultants, lawyers and renowned doctors to drive this project forward.

The project is structured on several levels:

• carrying out ad hoc studies and analyses for our members on the typology of claims related to medical errors in order to draw lessons and to propose corrective measures if necessary. These analyses may be carried out at hospital or department level.
• organizing conferences for hospital staff, according to the requests of our members (under development). This service can also be considered for an audience of professionals who are not members.
• helping its members to answer questions on the prevention of medical risks related to medical liability law or possibly putting members in contact with others.
• writing and publishing articles in specialist journals, on its website, at congresses or via newsletters to its members on current topics in the field of medical risk management.
• working with associations of health professionals or affiliated hospitals to support the prevention measures already in place or to be developed, based on an analysis of the current claims and multilateral discussions to be organised with the various medical departments, nursing services, legal services and mediation services.

With this in mind, AMMA participates actively in the activities of BVZD-ABDH.

Company Description

Healthcare is a strategic sector for ING. There are several reasons:

• Healthcare is an important economic sector which represents about 10% of our GDP.
• The hospital sector is an important contributor to employment in Belgium.
• As a bank ING has an an important stake in the hospital sector.
• The main theme of BVZD/ABDH in 2021 about innovation matches perfectly to ING's priorities and focus.

Becoming a partner of BVZD-ABDH is quite evident for ING.

What is the importance of innovation in the healthcare sector to ING?

As in the financial sector, innovation plays an important role and will have a major impact on the development of the hospital sector. This counts for the future well- functioning of the hospital as well as for the development of medicine and healthcare. Hospitals who are not investing in innovation risk to fall behind.

Innovation and digitisation are topics in all our discussions with the sector. Together with other partners, such as IN4Care or Happy Aging, we have organised in 2019 a number of « pilots tables » where we introduce innovative start-ups to other actors in the healthcare sector. This way we try to introduce and match different clients in the healthcare ecosystem to each other. It is a format which we like to continue in 2021.

Which are the main challenges for hospital management in the coming years and how ING can support them?

Next to the traditional role of ING to grant credit loans, it is our task to guarantee & facilitate financial flows and to advise on the best way to finance growth paths or how the current infrastructure can best adapt to modern technological standards. The impact of innovation on the functioning & management of the hospital is part of this reflection.

Another challenge is the collaboration within the new regional and local networks on the one hand and the integration of patient care on the other hand. The bank can play a role here stimulating the debate. We are equally engaging with other actors who are part of this integration such as general practitioners, care centers, home care providers, etc. The integration of healthcare was the topic of our study Health Prospecting 2019 and we have continued a deepdive on this topic together with our other partner Probis.

To conclude we can add that ING will continue to differentiate from its competitors by continuing to bring interesting insights on key topics to hospital managers.

Especially through our studies "Health Prospecting" we will lead the debate.
These are the links to our 3 first studies:

• Health ProspectING 2019
• Health ProspectING 2018
• Health ProspectING 2017

Company Description

IQVIA is a world leader in using data, technology, advanced analytics and expertise to help customers drive healthcare - and human health - forward. Together with the healthcare stakeholders, we are enabling a more modern, more effective and more efficient healthcare system, and creating breakthrough solutions that transform business and patient outcomes.

Specifically for the hospitals, we are convinced that the synergy of the different departments active in Research and Development Solutions, Real World Evidence Solutions and Healthcare solutions, creates an added value: The set-up of a data warehouse, based on clinical and non-clinical information, offers the opportunity to the Belgian hospitals to increase the efficiency and quality of care for their patients. Besides this, the data warehouse also leads to a fast and efficient patient recruitement for clinical trials and scientific research. And finally, bringing more clinical trials and real world evidence studies to the Belgian hospitals, generates a positive impact on the financials as well as on the quality of care.

Besides this synergy, we closely follow-up on success stories in Industry and check the feasibility to implement them in the Belgian hospitals.

And additionally, being a global leader, focussed on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science concepts and projects, guarantees the access to innovation in these domains.

Company Description

ISS is a leading workplace experience and facility management company. In partnership with customers and suppliers, ISS drives the engagement and well- being of people, minimises the impact on the environment, and maintains property. ISS brings all of this to life through a unique combination of data, insight and service excellence at offices, factories, airports, hospitals and other locations across the globe.

Healthcare is one of our focus segments. Why? Because the facility challenges for healthcare institutions are complex. The evolution towards a personalized care chain, with the patient as an active partner and a changing financing model, also puts the classic approach of Facility Services as a necessary evil at risk. Healthcare must create new value and the Facility Partner must contribute to this.

The partnership with BVZD-ABDH enables us to stay in touch with these strategic challenges and to make better decisions on investment, development, recruitment and training.
