GGZ Oost Brabant

What GGZ Oost Brabant does

GGZ Oost Brabant is a regional specialist mental healthcare institution (geestelijke gezondheidszorg) headquartered in Boekel, Netherlands, serving the East Brabant region with seven physical locations across Boekel, Helmond, Oss, Boxmeer, Uden, Veghel, and Rosmalen. Its core offering is (high)specialized ambulatory and clinical mental healthcare delivered through four supra-regional expert centers: Depressie Expertisecentrum Jeugd (TOPGGz-certified, treating severe depression and suicidality in ages 12-23), Expertisecentrum Eetstoornissen (30+ years of eating disorder care), Expertisecentrum Hersenletsel en Neuropsychiatrie (TOPGGz-certified, treating acquired brain injury combined with psychiatric problems in adults 18-65), and Hoogspecialistisch Centrum LVB-Psychiatrie (psychiatry combined with mild intellectual disability). The organization employs between 1,001 and 5,000 staff and serves patients across all age groups (0-65+) with complex mental health needs, including residential care at the Levendig Landgoed Huize Padua estate.

The underlying technology stack centers on the Delphyr Electronic Patient Record system (the first Dutch mental healthcare institution to implement it), proprietary clinical methodologies (STORM-aanpak for youth suicide prevention, SAS-GGZ), and patient-facing digital services including the MijnGGZOostBrabant client portal and the Vallen en weer opstaan recovery storytelling platform. The business model is reimbursement-driven under the Dutch mandatory healthcare insurance (basispakket), with multi-year contracts anchored by Coöperatie VGZ through 2028 (the third consecutive long-term agreement) and supplemented by regional contracts including a €64M MooiMaasvallei investment through 2028 covering 130,000 inhabitants. Distribution is via the regional Dutch healthcare referral system from general practitioners and medical specialists. Governance is under a Supervisory Board and a dual Board of Directors (Fred Pijls as chair, Joris Hendrickx and Jan-Willem Bedeaux as directors), with academic linkages to Radboudumc, Tilburg University, and Maastricht University supporting research-informed practice.
