An ageing population and multimorbid chronic patients put more and more pressure on healthcare systems, while on the other hand there is an acute staff shortage.

The entire healthcare ecosystem (care providers, payors and industry) needs to work together to find answers to these challenges and to move towards a sustainable healthcare system.
At BD we are fully committed to sustainable healthcare in all its aspects. However, in order to be able to be a true partner a deep understanding of our customers priorities as well as the healthcare’s changing trends and needs is necessary.
Partnering with BVZD gives us the possibility to interact and exchange ideas with our customers in a unique and open way based on trust and mutual respect. On the other hand as a multi-national company we can also contribute by leveraging our global network of contacts, international best practices and thought leaders. A better understanding of each other's challenges and mutual openness is the basis to develop innovative and value-based solutions that can help address today's healthcare challenges.

At Roche, we would like to have a footprint within the Healthcare ecosystem. Regarding all the topics discussed last year (it was our first year), we realised it was a unique and privileged opportunity to be part of the BAHM. We are patient centric and understanding what makes people different is crucial for us, to shift the focus of healthcare from treating diseases to delivering the best care for each person throughout their lives. This is the promise of personalized healthcare and this is what we discussed at the BAHM.
We will have also the opportunity to meet new stakeholders within the ecosystem, which could be a real added value for us, in our way of thinking and the way we act.
We are now, all together at a tipping point that will help turn this promise of value based healthcare into a reality. Advances in science, data, analytics, computation, and digital technology enable us to understand the factors that affect each person’s health with more clarity than ever before. With this knowledge, all together, we can improve care at every stage, from keeping people well, to detecting and diagnosing illness early, to providing the right medicines at the right time, to monitoring disease progression and treatment outcomes in real time. Improving the entire care journey will transform outcomes for patients and allow health systems to use resources more efficiently and effectively in a more sustainable way.
At Roche, personalized healthcare (also known as PHC) is a key area of focus, combining pioneering science, data, analytics and technology to advance new discoveries and improve patients’ lives. For many years, personalized healthcare meant testing for a disease-related biomarker and providing a targeted treatment. Today, we are expanding and connecting this personalized approach across the patient care continuum to deliver evidence-based, technology-enabled healthcare solutions tailored to the individual. By using data, analytics and technology across the care continuum, we are drawing closer to our goal of improving lives and advancing better health at a lower cost to people and to society. We truly believe PHC contributes significantly to more sustainable healthcare systems.
Finally, this is the reason why we proposed for our proposal of a theme in co-creation with the BAHM in the year 2023, we would like to propose to work around strategies designed specifically for hospital C-suite executives in order to make their hospital future-proof with regards to personalized healthcare. This could form the basis of the co-creation between Roche & BAHM. We can imagine inviting key speakers around those topics, organizing round tables, sharing success & failures from neighboring countries and from within our country.
We want to be seen as a solid partner, and we are really happy to be part of the BAHM.

An ageing population, scarcity of talent, digitalisation, scaling up... The reality in which the nonprofit sector operates is evolving rapidly. On top of that, the regulatory framework is constantly changing.
In order to keep up, you need dynamic and motivated employees. They, in turn, go through different phases throughout their careers – start, growth and parting.
Their expectations reach further than ever. They want to get a lot more out of their jobs, from a sense of purpose and a click with the organisation’s values to meaningful connections with their colleagues and the motivation to experience their work in a positive way.
SD Worx puts the success of nonprofit institutions first by supporting you and your employees with our people solutions at every possible key moment. Our solutions cover the entire employee journey, from talent attraction, reward policy and payroll to talent development. Make full use of our solutions and both your employees and your organisation are guaranteed to achieve better results. We contribute to your organisation’s high performance through technology, outsourcing, extensive expertise and relevant data insights.
With a market share of 37% in Belgium (46% in Flanders), SD Worx is the undisputed preferred HR partner in the nonprofit sector. Looking specifically at the number of hospitals, we are proud to say that no fewer than 44% of hospitals in Belgium (58% in Flanders) choose SD Worx. This means we calculate the salaries of about 62,000 hospital employees.
By being so firmly anchored in the sector, we, as an HR service provider, can tailor our internal processes to the nonprofit’s needs. For example, we have developed specific software (XTend for social profit, eBlox social profit, IFIC) and specific reporting tools for hospitals. Even more, we have set up initiatives such as the Strategic Advisory Board, bringing together our experts and 15 hospital general managers on a regular basis, enabling us to tailor our offer even better.
We spark success at the heart of your organisation so that you and your employees can grow to their full potential.

Project 2022 - 2024 : Good care for A, you taste it!
Partners: Mosquito in the Room, Foodwin, Erasmus High School and UZA
Approved by: Climate Fund City of Antwerp
Thanks to "A La Carte", patients have a choice. His meal, when he eats and with whom he eats. He can order what he wants from the different meal components or from a composite menu. The choices are adapted to the patient's nutritional needs and thus automatically adjusted to diet, allergies, texture,... It has been proven that when choosing meals, appetite is stimulated. The patient is going to leave up to 50% less food waste on their tray. Less waste and higher calorie intake.
Based on IDDSI (International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative), our operational teams work together with client staff (speech therapist, occupational therapist, dietician, quality, care,...). An interdisciplinary working group is created. Each recipe and meal component is tested in real conditions, in order to determine the correct IDDSI level and adjust the recipe if necessary. Partnership and training are key here. Moreover, we also recommend setting up a recipe panel, this way the recipes are not only monitored for consistency, but also the nutritional and organoleptic properties of the recipe are validated.

ZORGI is the main Belgian player in IT solutions designed for the healthcare sector. We support hospitals in their digital transformation by offering solutions for all milestones in the hospital care supply chain: from patient admission to billing, care and assistance, pharmacy, logistics and finance management to business intelligence. Our company ensures hospitals can focus on their core business: providing quality care to every patient. This is made possible thanks to the daily contribution of more than 320 employees with essential expertise in various fields.
The health crisis has already impacted and will permanently impact the daily life of hospitals’ staff members who were already highly exposed to psychosocial risks and, as a consequence, there are now increasing staff shortages. The adoption of digital solutions can sometimes contribute to this difficulty.
Among the many efforts to make our solutions more ergonomic and intuitive, mobile solutions are a priority area for harmoniously integrating the accompanying tools of the patient follow-up.
Thanks to its strong local roots, ZORGI is as close as possible to the Belgian hospital processes. As part of our partnership, we would like to share our experience of adopting mobile solutions within various customers involved in a process of declination of our existing solutions in mobile solutions.
