What Reade does

Reade (Stichting Reade) is a Dutch non-profit foundation operating specialized medical rehabilitation and rheumatology services in the Greater Amsterdam region. The organization delivers clinical and outpatient rehabilitation for adults and children with physical injuries, brain injuries (including non-acquired brain injury and strokes), spinal cord injuries, amputations, and chronic pain, alongside rheumatology care covering over 100 joint and musculoskeletal conditions. It is staffed by 754 employees including 57 medical specialists, operates 92 inpatient beds across two main Amsterdam locations (Dr. Jan van Breemenstraat and Overtoom), and extends its reach through a network of partner hospitals (OLVG, BovenIJ, Zaans Medisch Centrum, Amsterdam UMC) plus school and childcare sites across the region.

The technology stack centers on an Electronic Patient Dossier (EPD) and the MijnReade patient portal, which provides DigiD-authenticated access to records, appointments, lab results, medication refills, and Microsoft Teams-based video consultations, with a new Persoonlijke Gezondheidsomgeving (PGO) for cross-provider data aggregation. Adjacent capabilities include an on-site specialty pharmacy (with delivery outside a 40km radius), radiology, laboratory services, and the Reade Academy for professional education.

Reade's business model is reimbursement-driven under the Dutch DBC (Diagnose-Behandel-Combinatie) system of ~140 care products, billed to health insurers under basic health insurance with statutory deductible (eigen risico). Patients enter care exclusively via GP or specialist referrals. In 2024, Reade served approximately 5,871 adult and 1,009 pediatric rehabilitation clients and 14,415 rheumatology clients, generating 34,052 rheumatology consultations and 3,268 rehabilitation consultations. Reade is a founding member of the Amsterdam Rheumatology & immunology Center (ARC) with Amsterdam UMC and VUmc, and operates the INSPIRE spinal cord injury program and the Spondyloartritis Centrum Amsterdam jointly with Amsterdam UMC.
