Centrum voor Consultatie en Expertise

What Centrum voor Consultatie en Expertise does

Centrum voor Consultatie en Expertise (CCE) is a Dutch healthcare consultation organization founded in 1989 and headquartered in Utrecht, with three regional offices in Zwolle (northeast), Gouda (west), and Eindhoven (south). CCE operates as a supplementary service within the Dutch national healthcare system, providing multidisciplinary consultation for complex care situations in disability care, elderly care, youth care, and mental healthcare where standard healthcare solutions have failed and severe challenging behavior compromises quality of life. Its core service model relies on a distributed network of external specialists — educational psychologists, behavioral experts, doctors, nurses, and psychiatrists — who are temporarily engaged for their domain expertise, with caregivers and relatives involved as interlocutors in the dialogue-driven search for solutions. Services are offered free of charge to applicants and funded through the Dutch healthcare system under multi-year arrangements.

Beyond core consultation and the Meerzorg-ontwikkeltraject care development program, CCE operates an extensive knowledge dissemination platform: a Kennisbank (knowledge bank), themed Dossiers (dementia, autism, trauma, ethics), the CCE Podium video series, ExpertTales podcasts, and the 'Leren van Casussen' educational program, all supported by training services under Leren & Ontwikkelen. The organization partners with Hogeschool Rotterdam on the Lectoraat Zorgdynamieken - Gedrag in Context research chair (led by Jessica Vervoort-Schel) and is piloting wearable technology integration — smart socks and the Sense-it app — with Vilans's Innovatie-impuls Gehandicaptenzorg for biometric stress detection in clients. Operational technology is modest: CCE uses Zivver for secure communications and standard analytics (Hotjar) for website feedback, with no proprietary core technology platform — its value delivery rests on human expertise rather than software.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Hogeschool Rotterdam (Hogeschool Rotterdam)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 25 September 2026CCE and Hogeschool Rotterdam jointly operate the Lectoraat Zorgdynamieken - Gedrag in Context (Research Chair: Care Dynamics - Behavior in Context). The partnership connects theory and practice to derive new insights directly applicable to daily care practice. Jessica Vervoort-Schel holds the lectorate position and will deliver her inaugural lecture (lectorale rede) in September 2026 on 'Perspectief en patronen' (Perspective and Patterns).
• Innovatie-impuls (Vilans)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCCE collaborates with the Innovatie-impuls Gehandicaptenzorg (Innovation Impulse Disability Care) on a pilot adding technology interventions to CCE consultations. The pilot explores whether technology (such as smart socks measuring skin conductance, heart rate and movement) can supplement existing interventions when care situations threaten to stall. Vilans supports organizations in implementing care technology for increased client autonomy and self-reliance.
• Fonds NutsOhra (now FNO)minorOthersFonds NutsOhra (now FNO) provided financial support for projects including the Prader-Willi and diabetes case study and the Maslow needs assessment case study, both focused on improving quality of life for people with disabilities.

Direct peers

• Nederlands Jeugdinstituut (NJi): NJi is the Dutch National Youth Institute, providing knowledge, research, and advice on youth care and development. It mirrors CCE's role as a publicly-funded knowledge and consultation partner to Dutch care organizations, particularly in the youth care sector where CCE also provides consultation services for complex cases.
• Movisie: Movisie is a Dutch knowledge center for social issues, providing research, advice, and training to organizations in social support, welfare, and care. Comparable to CCE in its role as a supplementary expertise provider funded through Dutch public systems, serving similar cross-sector care audiences with knowledge and consultation services.
• Pharos: Pharos is the Dutch knowledge center on health disparities, providing expertise and support to healthcare providers serving vulnerable populations. It shares CCE's model of being a publicly-funded supplementary expertise organization that translates complex knowledge into practical support for care professionals across the Dutch health system.
• Vilans: Vilans is the Dutch national knowledge organization for long-term care, providing innovation, research, and implementation support to care providers. As CCE's explicit partner in the Innovatie-impuls Gehandicaptenzorg technology pilot, Vilans shares CCE's role as a knowledge and capability partner to Dutch care providers, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Trimbos-instituut: The Trimbos-instituut is the Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction, providing knowledge, research, and support to mental health organizations. It parallels CCE's function in the mental health sector, offering expertise to care providers dealing with complex cases and producing knowledge products that extend beyond direct service delivery.

Broad incumbents

• ActiZ: ActiZ is the Dutch industry association for elderly care providers, representing and supporting a broad membership of organizations across the VVT sector. While broader in scope (industry advocacy, lobbying, and broad sector support rather than direct consultation), it overlaps with CCE's elderly care segment and serves some of the same institutional customers.
• VGN (Vereniging Gehandicaptenzorg Nederland): VGN is the Dutch association for disability care providers, serving as the sector representative body for organizations in gehandicaptenzorg. While primarily an industry association rather than a direct consultation provider, VGN operates in the same disability care ecosystem as CCE and serves overlapping institutional customers in intellectual and physical disability services.
