What Pompestichting does

Pompestichting is a Dutch not-for-profit forensic psychiatric institution founded in 1966 and headquartered in Nijmegen, operating as a separate legal entity under the governance of Stichting Pro Persona Holding. It provides the full spectrum of forensic psychiatric care for individuals with psychiatric disorders who have come into contact with the criminal justice system, ranging from high-security compulsory TBS treatment (Behandelkliniek Nijmegen, security level 4) and long-term forensic psychiatric care (LFPZ, the only facility of its kind in the Netherlands) to lower-security forensic psychiatric departments (FPA Kompas, BIC, Longcare Merendael) and outpatient/home-based forensic care through Kairos in Nijmegen, Arnhem, and Tiel. Its technology base rests on evidence-based clinical practice augmented by research-driven tools: VR-based aggression and sexual offense assessment scenarios (VRAA, VR-Zeden built on CleVR Social Worlds), electronic monitoring pilots, and proprietary clinical methodologies such as the See Think Act relational safety framework and the FQL-SV quality-of-life instrument (translated into multiple languages). Revenue is essentially institutional: annual performance agreements with the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice (Directie Forensische Zorg) fund TBS placements, while non-TBS forensic care (BIC, FPA Kompas, Kairos) is reimbursed through Dutch health insurers under the Zorgverzekeringswet. There is no consumer-facing sales motion; expansion is driven by court-ordered referrals, statutory capacity contracts, and sector-wide research leadership.

Revenue model

1. Government-funded TBS treatment contracts: Pompestichting receives direct institutional funding from the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice (Directie Forensische Zorg) for TBS (terbeschikkingstelling) placements. Annual performance and funding agreements are made between the Pompestichting directorate and the Ministry. TBS is a court-ordered forensic psychiatric measure, not a voluntary healthcare product, and therefore the primary revenue stream is public institutional funding rather than health insurer billing.
2. Health insurer contracts for non-TBS forensic care: BIC, FPA Kompas, Kairos, and other non-TBS forensic care services are reimbursed through Dutch health insurance contracts under the Zorgverzekeringswet (Zvw) and WLz framework, analogous to regular mental health care (ggz).
