Elkerliek Ziekenhuis

What Elkerliek Ziekenhuis does

Elkerliek Ziekenhuis is a regional, non-profit general hospital headquartered at Wesselmanlaan 25, 5707 HA Helmond, Netherlands, serving the residents of Helmond and the surrounding Peel region in North Brabant. Founded in 1986 and operating with between 1,001 and 5,000 employees, the hospital delivers secondary clinical care across emergency, inpatient, and outpatient settings, with named centers of expertise in obstetrics and family care (Geboorte & Gezin), ophthalmology, hernia and abdominal wall surgery, and oncology. A secondary site in Deurne supports pediatric services and patient administration.

The hospital's digital layer is built around MijnElkerliek, a web-based Electronic Patient Dossier (EPD) portal that consolidates medical records, appointments, lab and treatment results, medication overviews, and e-consultations, authenticated through the national DigiD system. The HiX Patiënt-app extends this portal to iOS and Android with PIN-code login. In June 2026, Elkerliek added a 24/7 self-service Hulpmiddelenautomaat (medical equipment vending machine) in partnership with Medicura, allowing patients to borrow, rent, or purchase aids such as wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, toilet seat risers, and breast pumps outside business hours. The hospital also participates in the JIJWIJ collaborative childbirth network providing pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum education alongside regional maternity partners.

Elkerliek generates revenue primarily through diagnosis-related group (DRG) billing reimbursed by Dutch mandatory basic health insurers, supplemented by statutory patient co-payments (eigen risico and eigen bijdrage), with select equipment aids potentially eligible for insurance reimbursement. It reaches patients through physician referrals, emergency walk-in services, and direct digital appointment scheduling via MijnElkerliek. The hospital is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Lisa Behrendt (Voorzitter raad van bestuur) and operates under a Supervisory Board (Raad van Toezicht) structure. No parent company, holding structure, or institutional investors are disclosed.
