Bleds Healthcare

What Bleds Healthcare does

Bleds Healthcare operates in the Netherlands under the MedWay brand as a national healthcare capacity partner specializing in Ziekenhuisverplaatste Zorg (ZVZ), or hospital-displaced care. The company enables treatments that are eligible to be delivered outside hospital walls — including IV-antibiotic and biologic infusions, complex wound care, stoma and catheter care, parenteral and enteral nutrition, and patient monitoring — to be administered at patients' homes by a network of 100+ BIG-registered nurses (level 4 and above) trained in hospital protocols.

The company operates two service models. In the partial outsourcing (Gedeeltelijk Uitbesteed) model, hospitals retain clinical responsibility while MedWay supplies professionals, planning, coordination, and reporting. In the full outsourcing (Volledig Uitbesteed) model, MedWay manages the entire ZVZ chain including patient contact, execution, monitoring, and administrative reporting. Both models are supported by the MedWay Digitaal Platform, a proprietary system for planning, execution, and transparent reporting, which can either integrate with the hospital's existing EPD (Electronic Patient Dossier) or operate standalone. Since 2023, MedWay Home has been part of Guidion, gaining access to a more advanced digital platform that supports thousands of patients and healthcare workers daily.

MedWay generates revenue through professional-services fees billed to Dutch hospitals under quote-based, multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales led by a dedicated sales manager (Patrick van Goor) with consultative selling directed at hospital administrators and medical directors. Geographic scope is single-country (Netherlands) with offices in Nijkerk (headquarters) and Amsterdam. Leadership includes a Medical Director (Dr. Jan van Bodegom) and a dedicated sales manager, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or public ownership.

Direct peers

• Evean: Major Dutch home-care and elderly-care organization providing in-home nursing and medical services. Comparable to MedWay in serving Dutch patients at home with licensed clinical staff, with overlapping scope in wound care, injections, and chronic-condition support.
• Buurtzorg Nederland: Dutch home-care provider delivering professional nursing services in patients' homes. Highly comparable to MedWay as both deploy licensed nurses into Dutch homes for clinical care, though Buurtzorg focuses on self-managed district nursing teams rather than hospital-displaced specialty treatments.
• Home Instead Nederland: Franchise operator of in-home senior care services across the Netherlands. Comparable to MedWay as a Dutch home-care provider, although Home Instead focuses on personal and companion care rather than clinical hospital-displaced treatments.
• Attent Zorg & Behandeling: Dutch provider of home nursing, elderly care, and rehabilitation services. Comparable to MedWay in delivering clinical home-care to Dutch patients and operating under Dutch nurse-licensing frameworks, though with broader focus on long-term care rather than hospital-displaced specialty treatments.
• Livit (Ottobock Livit): Dutch provider of home-based medical devices and care for stoma, wound, continence, and orthopedic patients. Comparable to MedWay on selected clinical capabilities (stoma/catheter care, complex wound care) delivered in patients' homes, and shares the Dutch home-care customer segment.

Emerging players

• Ksyos: Dutch digital health provider enabling hospitals to deliver specialty care remotely, including teleconsultations and remote diagnostics. Comparable to MedWay on the hospital-displaced care theme and Dutch market focus, with greater emphasis on teleconsultation and digital-first models.
• Biofourmis: US-based care-delivery and remote-monitoring platform specializing in hospital-at-home and post-acute care programs for health systems. Comparable to MedWay on hospital-displaced care delivery and the underlying digital platform play, with a more software- and AI-centric go-to-market.

Broad incumbents

• DispatchHealth: US provider of in-home acute and post-acute care services, including hospital-at-home programs in partnership with health systems. Comparable to MedWay on the model of moving hospital-level treatments to patients' homes using licensed clinical staff, but at much larger US scale.
• Best Buy Health (Current Health): US-based hospital-at-home technology platform providing remote patient monitoring and care-coordination software used by health systems to deliver acute care at home. Comparable to MedWay's digital coordination layer for hospital-displaced care, although operating at a much larger US-centric scale.
• Mediq: Large Dutch medical supplier and home-care services provider serving hospitals, GPs, and patients at home. Comparable to MedWay in delivering home-based clinical and medical-supply services in the Netherlands, with a broader portfolio including chronic-disease management and medical devices.
