HealthConnected partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Ten partnerships are on record, tiered core and supporting.
- ZorgDomeincoreWithin the Visma ecosystem, HealthConnected and ZorgDomein jointly develop Boards — the NIS solution for chain and network care. Paul Simoons (CEO ZorgDomein) joins the HealthConnected board. The partnership enables more effective response to healthcare challenges and strengthens the ecosystem of connected systems.
- TopicussupportingCollaboration on a multi-day hackathon to develop a standardized message structure (berichtenstructuur) for integrations between systems sending information to GP emergency posts. The resulting open standard enables seamless patient data exchange between different GP post systems (e.g., HealthConnected HAP and Topicus HAP) using a common information structure. Technical documentation made publicly available via GitBook.
- Moet Ik Naar De DoktersupportingParticipant in the joint hackathon to develop a standardized message structure for digital triage systems. Integration allows patient data from Moet Ik Naar De Dokter's digital self-triage to flow directly into the HealthConnected HAP system as a contact record.
- Spreekuur.nlsupportingParticipant in the joint hackathon for standardized messaging between digital triage platforms and GP emergency post systems. Contributes to a shared standard for patient data exchange across different healthcare IT systems.
- SmartMedcorePartnership focused on improving communication between GPs, GP emergency posts, and pharmacists. SmartMed develops a modern pharmacist platform; HealthConnected provides the GP-facing HIS/HAPIS platform. Goal is to ensure all parties in a patient's treatment have access to current medication history, allergies, and lab values. Partnership launched March 2024 and will be developed in phases, addressing MP9 (Medicatieproces 9) and MITZ consent management.
- CaresharingcoreStrategic partnership resulting in a joint Network Information System (NIS) that transitions from a Ketenzorg Informatie Systeem (KIS) to a full Netwerkzorg Information System. The NIS uses the HIS as the source system for GP practices and is designed to be highly flexible for regional customization. The partnership creates a fully integral and open IT platform for the entire primary care sector and beyond. Jointly developed NIS enables data sharing across primary care, secondary care, and social domain.
- Huisartsenpost NederlandsupportingOrganization supporting GP emergency posts with remote clinical staff providing services. Founded by Jurgen Rens, who partnered with HealthConnected to establish Huisartsenpost Paramaribo in Suriname, using HealthConnected HAPIS as the technical platform. Huisartsenpost Nederland provides the clinical staffing model that enabled the Suriname initiative.
- Vcare ConnectcoreCloud telephony partnership integrating Vcare's Video Connect application into the HealthConnected platform. Enables AVG-compliant secure video consultations directly from within the HealthConnected platform without requiring patients to download software — patients join via SMS or email link. ISO27001 and NEN7510 certified partners. Both companies share the word 'connect' in their identity, emphasizing mutual focus on connectivity in primary care.
- WeSeeDosupportingSingle Sign-On (SSO) integration enabling healthcare providers with WeSeeDo accounts to launch video consultations directly without re-authenticating. Part of HealthConnected's strategy to integrate video calling into daily practice management.
- TherapielandsupportingSingle Sign-On (SSO) integration from the HealthConnected EPD to Therapieland for digital and blended treatment, questionnaire deployment, and video consultations with clients. Healthcare providers can access Therapieland directly from within the patient record.

HealthConnected competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Therapieland: Therapieland is a Dutch e-health platform for blended mental-healthcare treatment with SSO integration to HealthConnected. It is an adjacent enabling platform rather than a direct HIS competitor, but it operates in the same Dutch primary-care ecosystem and is now a Visma sister company.
- Caresharing: Caresharing is HealthConnected's joint NIS development partner, building network-care information systems for Dutch regional care coordination. It is a peer in chain/network care information systems for primary care and is closely interlinked with HealthConnected's KIS/NIS strategy.
- Pharmacom (Medimo / SmartMed): SmartMed is a modern pharmacist information system that partnered with HealthConnected in March 2024 to integrate medication and pharmacy data flows. It is a peer in the sense that both serve as Dutch healthcare-IT systems with strong integration with GP workflows, but it focuses on pharmacy rather than primary-care EHR.
- ZorgDomein: ZorgDomein is the dominant Dutch referral and care-pathway platform connecting GPs to hospitals and other providers. Now a Visma sister company jointly building the Boards/NIS solution with HealthConnected, it is an adjacent rather than directly competing platform but solves overlapping problems in regional care coordination.
Broad incumbents
- Ecare: Ecare provides EHR software for the Dutch disability and elderly care sectors (intramural and extramural). Following Visma's August 2025 acquisition it is now a sister company to HealthConnected; its intramural EHR overlaps conceptually with HealthConnected's primary-care HIS at the workflow and compliance level.
- CompuGroup Medical (CGM): CGM is a large European health-IT vendor offering HIS, practice management, and ambulatory EHR products across multiple countries. While broader and not solely focused on Dutch primary care, it competes with HealthConnected in primary-care EHR procurement and adjacent ambulatory segments.
- Chipsoft (HiX): Chipsoft's HiX is a leading Dutch hospital EHR used by most large Dutch hospitals. It is broader in scope than HealthConnected's primary-care focus but overlaps in regional care coordination and referrals (e.g., E-Spoed pathways with hospitals such as Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep).
Direct peers
- Nedap (Ons platform): Nedap's Ons platform is one of the leading EHR suites for Dutch primary care, GP cooperatives, and elderly/long-term care. It directly competes with HealthConnected's HIS and HAPIS at huisartsenpraktijken and huisartsenposten and is the most entrenched incumbent in this segment.
- Topicus Healthcare: Topicus develops HAPIS-class GP emergency post systems and participated with HealthConnected in the hackathon to define a standardized triage message structure. It is a direct competitor for HAPIS contracts at huisartsenposten across the Netherlands.
- Tenzinger (Promedico, Labelsoft): Tenzinger provides primary-care practice software including Promedico and other HIS/HAPIS solutions used by Dutch GP practices and GP cooperatives. It directly competes with HealthConnected's HIS and HAPIS for the same huisartsen and huisartsenpost customers.
