IP & AMR Zorgnetwerk Euregio-Zwolle

What IP & AMR Zorgnetwerk Euregio-Zwolle does

IP & AMR Zorgnetwerk Euregio-Zwolle is a Dutch regional healthcare network established in 2016 by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) as one of nine official regional networks under the national approach to antimicrobial resistance. From January 2024 the network was rebranded and its mandate broadened from antibiotic resistance (ABR) alone to infection prevention plus antimicrobial resistance (IP & AMR), and it now coordinates across eight healthcare sectors: hospitals, nursing homes, home nursing, general practice, pharmacy, ambulance services, rehabilitation and disability care.

The core technology stack consists of free digital tools for surveillance, auditing and reporting. The MUIZ system is a web-based outbreak reporting platform for infectious diseases and resistant organisms (BRMO/MRSA), integrated with regional public health services (GGDs). The Infectiepreventie auditapp (IPA) is a mobile application, co-developed with three peer regional networks, that runs paperless infection prevention audits and produces comparative reports. The newer Infectiepreventie Dashboard consolidates antibiotic prescribing data, professional competency status and MUIZ outbreak notifications for healthcare organizations. The portfolio is rounded out with e-learnings, pharmacotherapeutic meetings (FTOs), toolkits, podcasts, a national digital learning platform and a traveling Roadshow exhibition.

The business model is a government-funded managed-services model: all products, training, audits and consultations are provided free of charge to healthcare organizations, with operating costs covered by VWS subsidy. There is no pricing model, no commercial sales motion, no venture or growth equity and no M&A activity. Distribution is direct to institutions in the Euregio-Zwolle region via field engagement, website, newsletter, LinkedIn, YouTube, regional events and dedicated community meetings such as RING. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Zorgnetwerk GAIN: Dutch regional AMR/IP network that collaborates with Euregio-Zwolle on RING meetings for disability care professionals. A peer regional network with the same VWS mandate and cross-sector focus.
• IP & AMR Zorgnetwerk Limburg: Regional AMR/IP network for the Limburg region and a co-developer of the IPA app with Euregio-Zwolle. Functions as a near-identical regional coordinator for infection prevention and antimicrobial resistance in its geography.
• AMR Zorgnetwerk Holland West: One of the nine official Dutch regional AMR networks covering the Holland West region. Co-developer of the IPA audit app with Euregio-Zwolle and structurally identical in mandate, funding model, and product portfolio — making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Rezisto (IP & AMR Zorgnetwerk Noord-Brabant): Regional AMR network covering Noord-Brabant, also co-developer of the IPA audit app alongside Euregio-Zwolle. Operates with the same VWS mandate, free-service model, and cross-sector coverage — a directly comparable regional peer.

Broad incumbents

• RIVM (Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu): Dutch national public health institute that operates national AMR/IP surveillance systems (SNIV, ISIS-AR, PREZIES) and provides the underlying data and guidelines that the regional networks implement. Functions as the broader national incumbent that sets the framework within which regional networks operate.
• SWAB (Stichting Werkgroep AntibioticaBeleid): Dutch foundation responsible for national antibiotic policy and the SWAB antibiotic guideline booklet referenced by all regional networks. A broader national incumbent that defines the antimicrobial stewardship standards the regional networks promote.

Others

• SRI (Samenwerkingsverband Richtlijnen Infectiepreventie): Dutch collaborative body that develops national infection prevention guidelines underpinning Zipnet and the regional networks' recommendations. Functions as an upstream content/guideline provider rather than a direct peer.
