What Samergo does

Samergo is a Dutch non-profit Regionale Ondersteuningsstructuur (ROS) headquartered in Rotterdam, founded in 2008 and operating as part of the national ROS-network to facilitate cross-domain collaboration in primary healthcare, mental health, welfare, and maternity care. The organization serves three designated Dutch zorgkantoor regions — Rotterdam e.o. (~907,000 inhabitants), Zuid-Hollandse Eilanden & BAR (~458,000 inhabitants), and Waardenland (~379,000 inhabitants) — covering 25 municipalities and approximately 1.7 million residents. Its core functional offering is advisory, facilitation, and coordination services organized around three pillars: knowledge sharing and policy-to-practice translation, network and organization building (e.g., IZA networks, RESV, Mental Health Networks), and research/impact measurement including action research and population profiling. It also operates the Zorgkaart interactive map, the Network Overview tool, and co-developed data tools such as the datatool wijkgericht werken with ConForte; no proprietary AI or ML technology is described.

Samergo's business model is mandate-driven rather than commercial. Approximately 80% of revenue derives from structural ROS-gelden (Regionale Ondersteuningsstructuur funding), a publicly mandated government allocation routed through the national ROS-network; the remaining ~20% comes from project-based consultancy and co-funded assignments from municipalities (e.g., Gemeente Rotterdam for Welzijn op Recept and RAG), health insurers (Zilveren Kruis, VGZ), and ZonMw subsidies. The organization does not disclose commercial pricing; engagements are commissioned rather than sold, and distribution occurs via direct advisory relationships with municipalities, provider networks, and insurers across its three regions. As of 2025, Samergo employed 24 staff (a net increase of approximately 7 over the year after 4 departures), delivered 144 projects, achieved a customer NPS of 8.3, and closed the financial year with a positive result validated by an external accountant.

Recent strategic activity has emphasized durable ecosystem positions: in December 2025 Zuidwest-Nederland became the first Dutch region to complete the VIPP Babyconnect/IGD program under Samergo's co-coordination with DVP Rijnmond and RijnmondNet; the organization co-founded the Gezondheid in Zicht Datacoalitie Rijnmond with Erasmus MC (2023); coordinates the H-team010 housing-support service for GPs (since 2022) and the C-team continuity safety net (since 2024); and launched the Rotterdamse Alliantie Gezondheidsvaardigheden coalition of 15 organizations in 2025. The Raad van Toezicht was refreshed in January 2026 with the addition of Klaas Holthuis (RHOC) replacing Huybert van Eck; day-to-day leadership rests with Directeur/bestuurder Robert Waterreus.
