Connecting healthcare takes more than technology
Alphatron Zorgverbinders improves healthcare in the Netherlands by swiftly and securely storing medical images and data, making them available everywhere for care pathways, research, education, innovation, and policy-making.
Alphatron Zorgverbinders
Healthcare is no longer delivered in just one place. A patient’s medical information therefore needs to be available when it is needed. This cannot be taken for granted. Medical images are held by multiple healthcare organisations, in systems from different suppliers. And measurements taken at home are often available to only some of the healthcare professionals involved in the patient’s care.
We are Alphatron Zorgverbinders, and connecting healthcare is quite literally in our name. We connect what is not yet connected, even where others have been unable to do so. Because connecting healthcare takes more than technology. It requires knowledge of healthcare, an understanding of systems and standards, and the ability to solve complex problems. With twenty years of experience in Dutch healthcare, we understand how organisations work, where barriers arise and what it takes to make information available.
Medical imaging management: a complete view of the patient
From X-rays to MRI scans, doctors want to view all of a patient’s medical images in one place. We bring together images and data from different departments, so healthcare professionals spend less time searching and have more time for their patients. Our medical imaging management solutions make us the market leader in the Netherlands.
Medical imaging availability: access beyond your own healthcare organisation
Patients often have medical imaging examinations at several healthcare organisations. Through the Twiin Portaal, 145 healthcare organisations exchange images quickly and securely. Our Beeldtijdlijn, developed on behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, also allows doctors to consult a patient’s imaging history, including examinations performed at other healthcare organisations. This ensures that relevant images are readily available when needed.
Cardiac diagnostics: heart examinations that reach beyond a single location
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is often the first step towards the right treatment. We provide cardiac diagnostic solutions, from equipment to software for reviewing and managing examination results. This makes results available wherever healthcare professionals need them, both within and beyond their healthcare organisation. It helps cardiologists review results efficiently and make well-informed treatment decisions.
Hybrid care: extending care into the patient’s home
More and more healthcare can be delivered safely at home, supported by monitoring from a healthcare organisation. This is known as hybrid care. We integrate measurements taken at home with the systems a healthcare organisation already uses. This gives healthcare professionals a single overview and lets patients use one app instead of multiple separate applications. The information can be made available to the different professionals involved in the patient’s care, from specialists to GPs and home care professionals.
