Efficiency and time savings in specialist medical care in the Netherlands

Zelfstandige Klinieken Nederland (ZKN) is the trade association of independent clinics in the Netherlands. Clinics provide approximately 16% of specialist medical care in the Netherlands. That is more than 1.1 million patients per year who go to clinics for planned care. Because the members of ZKN often focus on one specialty, they have become extremely good and efficient in providing that care. In this way, clinics also contribute to the social challenges in healthcare of affordability and accessibility without making concessions on quality.

As an association, ZKN represents the interests of clinics. They do this in the media, politics, insurers and other healthcare umbrella organizations and stakeholders. In addition, they offer members services such as news, tools and meetings to support, facilitate and stimulate clinics to grow and innovation. These services from ZKN allow clinics to focus on helping patients.

ZKN uses the Online Voting Tool to easily allow voting during the General Members' Meeting and, for example, an Extra Members' Meeting to take place online.
