Quality, Supervision & Enforcement

Healthcare institutions are increasingly confronted with supervisory investigations by authorities such as the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate (IGJ), the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa), the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) and the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP). These investigations often focus on quality, safety, governance and organisational structure.

Supervision may lead to enforcement measures, such as directives, orders subject to penalty payments or administrative enforcement. The impact on your organisation can be significant.

In practice, questions regularly arise. To what extent must professional standards be followed and where is room for deviation? How far do obligations extend to provide information to supervisory authorities? These are issues that require careful assessment and clear decisions.
