Ziekenhuisbedchecker: finding care beds smartly and quickly
Find out at a glance where hospital beds are available for your patients.
On urgent assignment from the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, we developed ziekenhuisbedchecker.nl in 2020 - during the coronacrisis. In less than two weeks, we created a Progressive Web App in collaboration with www.zorg-capaciteit.nl and the NICE Foundation. Healthcare providers can use smart filters, both on mobile and desktop, to instantly see at which hospital a bed is available on the required ward.
Efficiency in care planning
The hospital bed checker provides healthcare providers with an overview of available beds, making care planning more efficient. Originating from the need during the corona crisis, the application remains valuable for healthcare institutions that want to act quickly and accurately when faced with capacity challenges. The application is available free of charge to employees of all hospitals in the Netherlands.
Care for the future
Do you also see opportunities for digitalisation within the healthcare sector? Would you like to know more about how the hospital bed checker adds efficiency to care planning? Feel free to contact us. We are ready to help you further.

"DTT has built the 'ziekenhuisbedchecker' for the ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, with which we can give every healthcare provider free insight into the available beds, IC and non-IC, COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 in the Netherlands from existing registration systems. The ziekenhuisbedchecker has recently been expanded, so that the availability at the emergency department is now also visible. This is going to help us enormously even after the corona crisis. After all, ambulance services know whether they should drive to a hospital or not, and GPs can see if there is a bed available at the emergency room before they have to make rounds if they want to send in a patient. DTT has really done this in record time, I am very impressed by the commitment and thinking along in turbulent times. Very professional, well-coordinated party. Definitely the right choice!"
