Fit for the future
Zorg & ict is the annual meeting place for thousands of professionals from various healthcare sectors to be informed and inspired by smart technologies and innovative solutions that contribute to the transformation of healthcare. Together, we are working towards a sustainable and future-proof healthcare system, aiming to become ‘fit for the future’!
During Zorg & ict 2025, there were once again engaging keynotes and best practices on six important topics:
- Data availability
- Regional cooperation
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Cybersecurity
- Remote care
- Digital skills
Data availability
Available, accessible, and usable. That’s what digital health data should ideally look like. However, in practice, the healthcare sector often faces a different reality. Think: data locked in systems. It’s not only a technical challenge but also a matter of trust. Without trust in privacy and data security, citizens and professionals will not share health data. Help the government, healthcare sector, and suppliers overcome these hurdles during Zorg & ict 2025.
Regional cooperation
Digitization is implementation. Since Dutch healthcare is organized in a decentralized manner, the region is where data exchange needs to take shape. This means working across boundaries. Thanks to the Regional Cooperation Organizations (RSOs), this is becoming increasingly successful. And it has to, as the government expects providers to at least be able to exchange basic patient and medication data by 2025. Check out at Zorg & ict 2025 how far the region has progressed.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI, machine learning, and large language models (LLMs) are now indispensable in healthcare. Nine out of ten hospitals are already using AI, with generative AI being especially popular. But how do healthcare providers and patients experience this? Does it make the work more attractive, reduce administrative burdens, and make treatments more efficient? Discover practical examples and join the discussion about the benefits and necessity during Zorg & ict 2025.
Cybersecurity
The healthcare sector is a favored target for cybercriminals. The question is not if a healthcare organization will become a victim, but when. Yet, many healthcare organizations are often insufficiently prepared, with potentially serious consequences. Think of disruptions to care processes, reputational damage, and financial loss from ransom payments. Learn from experts, providers, and end users at Zorg & ict 2025 how organizations can enhance their digital resilience.
Remote care
Digital skills
Digitization is more than just a technological exercise. It’s a fundamental change that impacts the entire healthcare sector. This requires new competencies and skills. How can healthcare professionals acquire these? Organizations also have work to do. Successful digitization depends on adaptability. Additionally, patients are increasingly taking control of their own care and health in the digital world. Visit Care & ICT 2025 to see how healthcare professionals, patients, and organizations can enhance their digital skills.
