OZ Consulting

What OZ Consulting does

OZ Consulting is a Belgium-headquartered strategic consulting firm founded in 2008 that specializes in digital health transformation for hospitals and healthcare networks. The firm serves healthcare organizations across Belgium, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada, and China through offices in Andenne (Belgium), Paris, and Singapore. Its offering is structured around two pillars: Strategy Consulting (enterprise architecture, information system strategy, M&A support, organizational change management, and strategic studies) and Operations Consulting (change management, programme/project management, information systems audits, DPI/electronic patient record implementation, and solution selection). The firm is led by Dr. Thierry C. Vermeeren, a recognized e-health expert.

The firm operates a network-of-experts model with 35+ senior experts rather than a traditional employee-heavy structure, allowing it to scale expertise without proportional fixed-cost expansion. It has accumulated significant intangible knowledge assets, including 60+ white papers, proceedings from 12 international symposia, and an associated digital health ecosystem platform called WeLink.Care that provides a community, knowledge base, white papers, symposium proceedings, decision-maker workshops, and a YouTube e-Health channel to healthcare professionals. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements with pricing not publicly disclosed and likely quote-based per project.

Notable client engagements include major Belgian and French hospital and hospital-network clients such as Réseau H.UNI, RHIREC, RHMS ASBL, Hôpitaux IRIS SUD, Hôpital Erasme, CHR Citadelle Liège, Epicura, and CHC Liège, focused on DPI consolidation, IT department transformation, and digital patient journey strategy. The firm has pursued sustainability certification under a European framework coordinated by the Belgian Chamber of Commerce, obtaining local certification in 2024 as part of a three-year commitment.
