Eerstelijns Samenwerking Veenendaal

What Eerstelijns Samenwerking Veenendaal does

Eerstelijns Samenwerking Veenendaal (ESV) is a Dutch non-profit cooperative (Coöperatieve Eerstelijns Samenwerking Veenendaal U.A.) founded in 2010 and headquartered at Appelvink 1, 3906 AD, Veenendaal. It functions as a Geïntegreerde Eerstelijns Zorg (GEZ) network, coordinating approximately 30 affiliated primary care provider practices across general practice, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, pharmacy, dietetics, mental health, midwifery, dermatology, home care, and speech therapy within the municipality of Veenendaal. The offering is a multi-layered portfolio of disease-specific care programs (COPD, cardiovascular/CVRM, oncology aftercare, elderly care 75+, fall prevention, peripheral arterial disease, eczema, SOLK, smoking cessation) and four combined lifestyle interventions (COOL, Beweegkuur, OLaR-CooL, Voel je goed) with digital variants (MiGuide CooL, GLI Ancora Slimmer), supported by the Centrale Zorg Coördinator role, the Franse Gat wijk network, a Google Maps-based Leefstijlkaart, and the GLI Regio Gelderse Vallei coordination layer spanning Veenendaal, Wageningen, and Ede.

Underlying technology consists of third-party healthcare IT rather than proprietary platforms: VIPLive/Monter for the electronic patient record and program management; Zorgdomein and Zorgmail for referrals; MiGuide and Ancora apps for digital lifestyle coaching; Yard Zorgsites for hosting; Google Analytics and Piwik for website analytics; and an internal Kennisnet intranet. No proprietary technology, AI/ML models, or APIs are described, and there are no patents, trademarks, or public certifications in the input data.

The business model is a non-profit cooperative owned and governed by its member practices, with a board composed of representatives across disciplines (chairman H.A.T. Rijken, a GP; treasurer A.P.M. Coenen, a pharmacist; general members including a GP, physiotherapist, and exercise therapist). Operations are managed by Centrummanager Hans Ooms with a small staff of approximately 8 (including healthcare innovation staff and secretariat). Revenue is primarily generated through a per-patient quarterly coordination fee of €1.83 (2023 rate) paid by preferred regional insurer Menzis, supplemented by ZonMw project subsidies, municipality of Veenendaal prevention funding under the Preventieakkoord (2021), member contributions from the PON covenant (2022), and standard basic-insurance reimbursement for delivered care programs. Customers are the residents of Veenendaal municipality, who access care programs through the affiliated provider network.
