What Streeklab Haarlem does

Streeklab Haarlem, legally Stichting Streeklaboratorium voor de Volksgezondheid Kennemerland, is a regional medical microbiology foundation headquartered at Boerhaavelaan 26, 2035 RC Haarlem, Netherlands, employing approximately 100 staff and serving as the designated knowledge center for infectious disease prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment in the Kennemerland region.

Its core offering is organized into seven departments: Bacteriology (with Tuberculosis and Mycology sub-units), Serology, Parasitology, Legionella, Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, and Infection Prevention. The lab combines culture-based methods, PCR, MLPA, serology/immunoassays, antigen testing, and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS/AFLP/MLST/cgMLST), holds RvA accreditation under ISO 15189:2012 (M184) plus a separate L701 test-lab accreditation, and carries a donortesting license (6868L/VD). National reference functions for Legionella and parasitology, plus coordination of the Bronopsporings-Eenheid Legionella-pneumonie (BEL) with RIVM, position it within the Dutch public-health reference network. Value-added assets include the Diagnostiekwijzer decision-support tool, Diagnostisch Toets Overleg (DTO) training with Spiegelinformatie benchmarking, the ARCHeS arbovirus research study, and an on-call Cito urgent-diagnostics service.

The lab operates an enterprise field-sales model targeting GPs, medical specialists, midwives, hospitals, and VVT care institutions in the region, with digital ordering integrated through ZorgDomein, HiX, and EPIC and barcode-based intake now scaled to 80+ GP practices. Pricing follows NZa (Dutch Healthcare Authority) tariff lists billed per test order, with separate order and follow-up culture/susceptibility rates, and reimbursement flows through Dutch health insurers subject to mandatory eigen risico deductibles. The business model is functionally a regulated regional utility: revenue mechanics are volume-based diagnostic testing for a fixed geographic catchment, supported by advisory, training, and national reference functions rather than fee-for-service innovation.
