Netwerk Acute Zorg Brabant (NAZB)

What Netwerk Acute Zorg Brabant (NAZB) does

Netwerk Acute Zorg Brabant (NAZB) is a regional healthcare coordination network that operates the Regionaal Overleg Acute Zorgketen (ROAZ) for the North Brabant province of the Netherlands. Functionally a non-profit department of Elisabeth-TweeSteden Ziekenhuis (ETZ) and based in Tilburg, NAZB coordinates acute care delivery across all hospitals, ambulance services (RAV Brabant Midden-West-Noord and GGD Brabant-Zuidoost), obstetric providers, psychiatric care, and primary care participants in the regional chain. Its mission is to ensure that patients with acute care needs receive appropriate care at the right place as quickly as possible, with formal coordination across chain partners.

The organization's core technology is the LPZ (Landelijk Platform Zorgcoördinatie), a digital platform that automatically aggregates capacity data from hospital electronic patient records (EPD) and presents real-time insight into available beds, ED crowding levels, and specialized care availability. Supporting NAZB's coordination role are a regional trauma registration system (with mandatory submission to the national Landelijke Traumaregistratie per Dutch law STB-2022-258), an annual ROAZ-beeld assessment of acute care supply/demand balance, expert groups across cardiology, neurology, obstetrics, psychiatry, acute pediatrics, and trauma, and a training portfolio delivered via an Elektronische Leeromgeving (ELO) that includes the TTPA-cursus, "Traumazorg doen we samen" package, crisis management OTO programs, and a mobile escape room. Data, research, and capacity monitoring form the third organizational pillar.

NAZB is not a commercial entity. It has approximately 29 employees and is funded through public healthcare budgets and its parent hospital ETZ rather than through product pricing or commercial contracts. Its "customers" are effectively the regional chain partners it coordinates, with services distributed through the mandated ROAZ framework. Revenue is not disclosed and pricing models are not applicable. Recent strategic emphasis is on future-proofing the acute care chain, expanding LPZ into nursing/care and mental health modules, launching new vertical assessments such as ROAZ-beeld Acute Geboortezorg, and operationalizing the Regionale Flexibele Schil flexible-capacity program.
