Acute Zorg Euregio

What Acute Zorg Euregio does

Acute Zorg Euregio is a Dutch non-profit healthcare coordination network (Netwerk Acute Zorg Euregio) founded in 1999 and headquartered in Enschede, Netherlands. Designated as the regional ROAZ (Regionaal Overleg Acute Zorgketen) for the Euregio region, it coordinates acute care, trauma care, crisis management, and a knowledge centre across Twente, Oost-Achterhoek, and the adjacent German border area. Its core deliverables are five interconnected service modules: Keten Acute Zorg (acute care chain coordination), Keten Traumazorg (trauma care chain from 112 dispatch through hospital discharge), Crisisbeheersing & OTO (training and exercises), Kenniscentrum (education and research), and Grensoverschrijdend (cross-border cooperation). The underlying infrastructure is organizational — regional protocols, SOPs, and cross-border collaboration frameworks — rather than a technology platform.

The network operates five completed Interreg-funded cross-border pilot projects (ECTLI 2012-2013, ACRE 2013-2014, SourcE 2014-2018, PREpare 2018) plus the ongoing Toekomstgerichte Spoedzorg programme, which have built durable Dutch-German care pathways including a heart attack patient transport protocol to St. Agnes-Hospital Bocholt (operational since April 2024) and reciprocal German ambulance deployment in the Dutch border area. Its 20+ member institutions include hospitals, ambulance services, dispatch centres, mental-health providers, primary-care networks, safety regions, the Universitätsklinikum Münster, and the health insurer Menzis. Communications are delivered via a bilingual website, a biannual 112 Netwerk newsletter co-published with GHOR Twente, periodic digital newsletters, and social media.

Revenue is entirely subsidy-based: regional Dutch government funding, Interreg programme grants, and member-organization contributions. No commercial products or services are sold, and no pricing model exists. The organization is GDPR/AVG-compliant and operates as a network-based coordinating body rather than a direct care provider, making it functionally a public-sector intermediary in the Euregio acute care chain.

Core offering

Acute Zorg Euregio is a non-profit regional healthcare coordination network (ROAZ - Regionaal Overleg Acute Zorgketen) that coordinates acute care, trauma care, crisis management, a knowledge center, and cross-border emergency medical collaboration across the Dutch-German Euregio region (Twente, Oost-Achterhoek, and adjacent German border areas). It connects hospitals, ambulance services, dispatch centers, GP posts, mental health organizations, municipal health services, and health insurers through standardized protocols, training programmes, and Interreg-funded cross-border pilot projects. The organization does not deliver direct patient care but functions as the regional coordination and governance body for the acute care chain.

Product overview

Acute Zorg Euregio is a network organization of acute care institutions operating in the Euregio region (Twente, Oost-Achterhoek, and the German border region). The organization coordinates regional emergency healthcare through the ROAZ governance structure and five interconnected service modules: Keten Acute Zorg (acute care chain coordination), Keten Traumazorg (trauma care chain), Crisisbeheersing & OTO (crisis management and training), Kenniscentrum (education and research), and Grensoverschrijdend (cross-border Dutch-German cooperation). The organization also produces the 112 Netwerk publication and distributes a newsletter. All services focus on healthcare coordination rather than direct patient care.

Regional players

• EMR (Euregio Maas-Rijn): Cross-border euregional network between the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany (Maastricht-Aachen-Liège region). Has comparable cross-border healthcare coordination activities but addresses a different border region and a wider set of topics beyond acute care.
• ADAC Luftrettung: German air rescue operator with a base in Rheine that participates in Acute Zorg Euregio's cross-border air rescue coordination. Comparable as a regional emergency medical services operator in the same border region.
• Euregio Rhein-Waal: Cross-border cooperation network in the Dutch-German Rhein-Waal region (Nijmegen-Kleve). Similar Euregio structure to the Euregio that Acute Zorg Euregio operates in, but covering a different geography and a broader thematic scope.

Direct peers

• Traumacentrum Zuid-West Nederland: Regional trauma network serving the Zuid-West Netherlands region, with overlapping scope in trauma care coordination and OTO training programs similar to Acute Zorg Euregio's Keten Traumazorg portfolio.
• Netwerk Acute Zorg Zuidwest-Nederland: Regional acute care network coordinating hospitals, ambulance services, and emergency care in the Zuidwest-Nederland region. Operates the same ROAZ model as Acute Zorg Euregio.
• Acute Zorgnetwerk Noord-Nederland: ROAZ-network for the northern Netherlands, coordinating acute care chain partners across hospitals, ambulance services, and GP posts in a similar governance structure to Acute Zorg Euregio.
• Traumazorgnetwerk Midden-Nederland: Another ROAZ-network for acute care coordination in the Midden-Nederland region, performing the same regional coordination mandate under the same Dutch national framework as Acute Zorg Euregio.

Broad incumbents

• GGD GHOR Nederland: National umbrella organization for all 25 GGDs and 10 GHOR safety regions in the Netherlands. Has broad overlap with Acute Zorg Euregio's crisis management and GHOR coordination mandate, but operates at a national level.
• AZN (Ambulancezorg Nederland): National sector organization for ambulance care in the Netherlands. Acute Zorg Euregio coordinates the ambulance services in its region, and AZN operates at the national level with related ambulance and emergency care coordination mandates.

Others

• Zorginstituut Nederland: National Dutch healthcare institute that develops quality standards, guidelines, and care coordination frameworks. Adjacent to Acute Zorg Euregio's mandate by setting the national standards that acute care networks must implement.
