ZGT

What ZGT does

ZGT (STICHTING ZIEKENHUISGROEP TWENTE), operating under the trade name Ziekenhuisgroep Twente, is a non-profit foundation running a topklinisch ziekenhuis — a top clinical hospital — serving patients across the Twente region of the Netherlands from three sites: Almelo (headquarters, Zilvermeeuw 1), Hengelo (Geerdinksweg 141), and a satellite outpatient clinic in Rijssen (Wijnand Zeeuwstraat). Beyond standard hospital services, ZGT delivers specialized treatments at a higher level, with recognized strengths in urology (including Da Vinci Xi robotic-assisted prostatectomy), vascular care (Vaatkeurmerk-certified for arterial and varicose-vein conditions; LEEFH-centrum status for hereditary cholesterol), maternity services, obesity treatment via the ZGT Obesitascentrum, and hospital pharmacy (ZGT Apotheek).

The digital layer consists of the MijnZGT patient portal (authenticated via the national DigiD identity system) for medical record access, appointment self-scheduling, and pre-visit questionnaires, plus the recently launched Geboortezorg App for maternity care, integrated with the national 'Zorg bij jou' platform. ZGT uses AI-systems/tools to support medical diagnosis and care optimization on structured and unstructured patient data, with clinical decisions retained by medical professionals. The organization is NEN 7510-certified for healthcare information security and processes personal data under GDPR/AVG, the WGBO, and related Dutch health law.

ZGT's commercial model is reimbursement-driven within the Dutch mandatory health-insurance system: the hospital bills health insurers for treatments delivered, with revenue generated through healthcare insurance claims and government funding mechanisms rather than direct patient pricing. Patients access services primarily via general practitioner (huisarts) referrals, supplemented by direct emergency access and outpatient self-referral where permitted. Demand-generation combines a content-rich website (zgt.nl), the MijnZGT portal, recurring patient information evenings, social media, and GP referral networks across the Twente catchment.
