Challenged to provide high-quality care with limited resources.
Hospitals in the German-Dutch border region are challenged to provide high-quality care with limited resources. Cross-border resource pooling therefore becomes crucial. Resource pooling comprises a set of tools and strategies to coordinate and share resources between healthcare facilities. The aim is to reduce gaps in the provision of resources and services while minimizing waste due to duplication of resources and unnecessary transportation costs. Through resource pooling, hospitals in the border region can quickly access the necessary resources in the event of a sudden emergency without having to stockpile them. For patients, this means shorter distances and faster access to specialized care. BRIDGE identifies opportunities for coordinated cross-border resource pooling, develops and implements a digital platform to facilitate this, and provides input for relevant policy decisions.
