Our impact for our patients

Since we want to continue improving our care, it is important to keep gaining insight on how our patients experience our care. Because care is only good if people experience it as such.

Our patients

The first patient in the Netherlands receives an artificial heart

This innovative artificial heart is an alternative to a donor heart if the patient’s condition is too critical to wait for a heart transplant.

MR-Linac: operating without cutting

A combination of a radiation accelerator and a diagnostic MRI scanner.

SAFE@home

Home-monitoring tool SAFE@Home has reduced the number of visits to the outpatient clinic by 20 to 25%, and has led to three times fewer hospitalizations.

Highlighted figures

Dialog with patients

At UMC Utrecht, we aim to work together with patients in a structural way, and to involve patients and their relatives in everything that we do in terms of care, research and education.

Digital care solutions

Care that can be provided at home, we’ll provide at home. This gives patients more control over the care that they receive, and enables health professionals even better to provide care that matches the patient’s needs.

Care for our patients

Our principle is that a patient should get treatment there where it is best for them. And that our patients can control the treatment and experience our people-oriented approach and feel safe during care.

Quality & safety

We learn from what went well, we improve prospectively, and we learn from care that did not go the way we had intended.
