Working together more intelligently and improving patient care with IT is central to the ambition of Topicus Healthcare. Partnerships that add value to our solutions to realize this ambition are an important pillar in our strategy. DEARhealth and the innovative nature of the smart medical software such as the DEARrecommender that they supply to hospitals fits in seamlessly with our ambition.
"DEARhealth's software is an excellent solution for personalizing and digitizing care pathways. The effect of this is significant: a demonstrable reduction in the number of outpatient visits, a reduction in the number of days of hospitalization, a decrease in the use of medical specialists, a reduction in the number of laboratory tests and time savings in general.”
Hugo Brand Director of Topicus Healthcare
In the coming period, the focus will be on accelerating the implementation and further development of the DEARhealth software, including the expansion of clinical pictures and the support of transmural processes. In addition, an entirely new version of DEARpatient, the app for patients, will be available in the second quarter of 2025.
The acquisition of DEARhealth also creates an opportunity to accelerate the realization of our ambition: to reduce the pressure on primary care with the help of a clinical rule engine. “With the use of smart decision support, we can have an even greater impact on both primary and secondary care,” says Hugo Brand.
Mirjam van der Steen, Director of DEARhealth, is also very positive about the future of DEARhealth under the Topicus flag. “By joining forces with Topicus, we create the space and clout needed to take our joint ambition to the next level: keeping healthcare accessible and developing smart solutions that promote cooperation in healthcare.”
Topicus and DEARhealth had previously announced their intention to collaborate.
DEARhealth will become part of Topicus Healthcare on April 2, 2025. With this development, Topicus is once again taking a step towards realizing its ambition in healthcare and a significant step in the innovation of services to both secondary and tertiary care as well as primary care.
