Sneak peak of ZGT (Ziekenhuisgroep Twente) Case study

Delivering outcomes that matter to patients Case study: Ziekenhuisgroep Twente (ZGT), Netherlands 

ZGT, Netherlands


Read in the case study about the Value Partnership with ZGT, Netherlands. Learn about the various challenges that the healthcare provider had to face and find out how partnering with Siemens Healthineers helped them overcome these hurdles.  

The Dutch hospital Ziekenhuisgroep Twente (ZGT) in Almelo, Netherlands, is a general hospital that receives approximately 25,000 ED visits per year. When the hospital´s second ED at Hengelo closed in 2018, the number of patients entering the Almelo ED had increased by more than 48% over five years. The Almelo ED struggled to accommodate this increased patient demand as the department’s space was too limited, its aging technology was causing significant downtimes, and trauma patients had to be moved from room to room due to a lack of mobile imaging devices. 

ZGT was looking for a trusted partner to enable them to accommodate their increased patient demand at the emergency department in Almelo. The engagement with Siemens Healthineers Value Partners enabled them to identify the critical obstacle, define improvement measures, and re-design their workflow.

  • Within a couple of months, the door-to-door time had already decreased by 6 minutes compared to the previous year, even though it was the busiest month of the year.1
  • Furthermore, communication between ED and radiology members improved, as did the working environment in general.1
