Custom software for healthcare organisations: add-ons to your existing EHR, a completely new client record for a niche practice, or integrations with USER, Pluriform, Carenzorgt and Vecozo. NEN 7510 and GDPR-proof, developed by a team that understands the healthcare context.
If you're looking for a standard EHR supplier, such as USER, Praktijkdata, Incura, Nedap or Pluriform, that isn't what we do. Those products already exist, they work well for most practices, and there's no point reinventing the wheel. What we do build is everything around them: the modules missing from your existing EHR, client portals the supplier doesn't offer, and integrations between your EHR, billing system, questionnaires and your own administration. Often, most of your spreadsheet, email and manual retyping work disappears in one go, without you having to say goodbye to an EHR your team has only just got used to.
We also build complete custom solutions for healthcare organisations that don't fit any off-the-shelf product. These are often niche practices, multidisciplinary partnerships or organisations with a way of working so specific that a standard EHR gets in the way more than it helps. We work across primary care, mental health, youth care, Wmo, home care, hospitals and social work, wherever the care need and the administrative reality don't line up neatly. The core expertise we bring is an understanding of the healthcare context: how a DBC or ZPM claim works, how NEN 7510 relates to GDPR and Wgbo, and why a patient file is far more than a database with free-text fields.
Our role is concrete: we design, build and test software that fits your working process and meets the demands care places on information security, data minimisation and data exchange. We work in sprints with your own practitioners, functional management and, where relevant, your chain partners and clients. Not from an ivory tower, but with software that can go live on a test environment every sprint, where you can respond straight away.
The right approach depends on your current situation: do you already have an EHR that you're running up against the limits of, or are you starting from a blank page? In the first conversation, we'll look at which direction will deliver the most value.
Your EHR does most of the work well, but a specific process, such as triage, outcome measurement (ROM), multidisciplinary consultation, claims checking, a manager dashboard or research exports, doesn't fit the standard product. We build an additional module that integrates seamlessly with your EHR via API or HL7/FHIR and fits into your existing workflow. Commonly built add-ons include intake flows, NPS and client experience questionnaires, claims checks before submission to Vecozo, and management dashboards that go beyond the standard EHR reporting.
A secure portal where clients can view their record, complete intake questionnaires, carry out ROM measurements, schedule appointments and communicate with their practitioners. Sign-in with DigiD for patient care or iDIN for business clients, with record access linked to your existing EHR. We also build standalone questionnaire tools for PROMs, PREMs, NPS, customer satisfaction and discipline-specific measurement instruments, such as the OMPSQ for physiotherapy, the OQ-45 for mental health, the CBCL for youth care, or your own instrument that isn't available as a standard tool anywhere.
For healthcare organisations where no standard product fits, such as multidisciplinary centres, specialist mental health institutions, umbrella organisations with divergent chain requirements, or hospital departments with a specific workflow like theatre scheduling, intensive care monitoring or a research cohort. A record built precisely around your way of working, with billing via Vecozo (DBC, ZPM, NZa codes), data exchange with other care systems via HL7/FHIR, and integration with UPN and AGB for healthcare professionals and providers.
Two rights your records system must be able to support: electronic access to records and access to the audit log. What that means for your architecture is covered under Wabvpz software.
Three obligations that your records system must meet: access and logging outside the institution, the reporting duties under the Wkkgz, and the file for the inspectorate. The research itself runs through the research app.
A working care application plus the documentation and management to keep it running for years, without becoming dependent on a single supplier for every small change. We build for independence, not lock-in.
The common thread: complex administration, strict compliance, and a workflow that is hard to squeeze into a standard product. If you recognise your sector below, we know the context.
Paramedical practices that want their own client portal, online intake or specific PROMs collection alongside their existing EHR (often Intramed, FysioRoadmap or Spotonmedics). Multidisciplinary centres that need one shared record across different disciplines. Or larger paramedical chains that want to automate operations around scheduling, no-show reduction and claims control.
For mental health care institutions we build ROM tools, claims modules based on ZPM and NZa codes, and client portals that run alongside existing EHRs. We support treatment plans in line with the quality statute and integrations with DBC maintenance and NZa. For specific mental health solutions, see also our mental health software page for more detail.
Municipalities, youth care organisations and Wmo providers that want to support messaging via iJw and iWmo standards, care request registration and multidisciplinary collaboration, often with several parties around a single client. We also build steering and monitoring platforms for municipalities that want to direct the procurement and quality of their youth care provision using data.
For home care and community nursing organisations we build route planning, mobile record access for care workers on the move, assessment registration in line with AZR standards and integrations with Vecozo for Wlz and Zvw claims. We also build informal care portals in which family and the wider informal network can securely follow along at the client's invitation.
Specific modules alongside Epic, HiX or another EHR: theatre scheduling tools, ICU monitoring dashboards, research data platforms for academic hospitals, patient portals for specialist outpatient clinics, or integrations between the EHR and laboratory and imaging systems. For larger care institutions with multiple departments, we also work on enterprise programmes where architecture and governance are central.
For long-term care and welfare organisations: care life plans in line with Wzd requirements, client participation modules, informal care portals, and integrations between several disciplines within one institution. With growing attention to involuntary care and restraint, we help with the registration and reporting obligations imposed by the Care and Coercion Act (Wet zorg en dwang).
With OneDayBuild, we turn your idea into something tangible in one day for €1,150, so you can see whether further development is worth the investment. Decide to go ahead with the full build? Then we credit the full cost.
Explore OneDayBuild →The healthcare sector has its own language when it comes to information security, billing and data exchange. Below are the standards that almost always come up in our projects. We bring the expertise with us, so you don't first have to train an internal specialist.
Specific sectors bring additional domain codes and standards, which we incorporate per project. For youth care and Wmo these are the iJw and iWmo messaging standards; for primary care the UPS and CSI standards; and for secondary care DICOM for imaging and LOINC for laboratory results.
A first conversation in which we understand which processes you want to support, which EHR you currently use (and what it lacks), which compliance requirements apply, and which parties are involved: practitioners, clients, chain partners, health insurers.
A workshop with your team, plus interviews with practitioners and clients about the current way of working. At the end: a concrete scope, a data flow overview for your DPIA, and a first screen flow for your feedback.
A working build you can test every two weeks. We build iteratively, starting with the core process, and expand to peripheral matters such as reporting and integrations. The penetration test runs alongside the final sprints, not as a closing surprise.
A phased rollout to your teams, training for key users and end users, and handover to your functional management. Afterwards, ongoing support for security updates and further development, either by us or by your own IT team.
What care organisations usually want to know before we start.
A thirty-minute introductory call, with no obligation. We listen to your workflow, ask questions where your current systems cause friction, and point you in a useful direction, even if it turns out that custom development is not the right choice.
