Effective governance is essential for an efficient healthcare organization. After all, effective management can connect the organization’s mission and strategy (the Why) with the actual provision of high-quality healthcare (the What). Management focuses on the How: the organizational structure, duties, responsibilities, competences and so on.
We know from experience that effective governance is the exception rather than the rule. Strategy, management and actual healthcare provision can only truly enhance each other if they are in alignment, but they can also counteract one another if that’s not the case.
Ineffective management leads to many problems, such as:
- The boardroom feels ‘swallowed up by the organization’ and has neither the time nor the distance to deal with urgent and challenging managerial issues.
- The quality of management information is insufficient to enable adequate leadership. As a result, the organization gets stuck looking back and explaining rather than looking ahead and steering.
- Executive management is too busy solving everyday problems instead of strategically directing and facilitating their teams and healthcare professionals.
- The organizational structure no longer fits the organization’s current size and the challenges it faces, but the consequences of a restructuring operation are hard to grasp.
- The organization has (too) many management layers or positions, making it unclear who has decision-making authority.

At the initiative of Verstegen Accountants in Dordrecht, Edwin Schippers of Turner conducted an organizational assessment of Klimmendaal, a rehabilitation center headquartered in Arnhem. The organization was facing several challenges: the aftermath of a previous merger, the COVID-19 crisis, and, as a result, an overly ambitious change agenda.

Column by Peter de Bruin | Vaccination Hesitancy Exposes the DNA of the Healthcare System
Sometimes it takes a crisis to gain insight into your own DNA, writes Peter de Bruin. In the healthcare sector, the slow vaccination rollout makes it clear that there is nothing wrong with healthcare in the Netherlands—but there is certainly something wrong with how it is organized. We need more scale and collaboration. We need to support the healthcare system and combat fragmentation. The many healthcare administrators, virologists, and other medical professionals who have publicly expressed their surprise have a point. Thanks to the coronavirus, the healthcare system now has a better understanding.

Column by Peter de Bruin | “Letting Go of the Patient”
Healthcare in the Netherlands is of high quality. Yet it costs a lot of money and requires more people than we have. Can we do better? Yes, but that requires collaboration. This is difficult to achieve because of the many “mine versus yours” debates about money, data, systems, etc., fueled by the sense of responsibility for “my” patient. Collaboration is only possible with—and through—administrators and healthcare professionals who are willing to move forward by letting go of the old ways.
