How to utilize STOZ funding to scale up your digital services in healthcare

Are you planning to implement digital services in your organization? The Dutch government is actively supporting Dutch care providers in starting and scaling the implementation of digital and hybrid care processes with the Stimuleringsregeling Technologie in Ondersteuning en Zorg (STOZ) program. At Reaktor Health, we have supported numerous care providers in their digital journey, from creating a strategy towards digital and/or hybrid care to actually implementing the right platform or tool for the users.

Streamlining Care with Digital and Hybrid Processes

As a provider of care or support, you might be interested in collaborating with other providers and buyers to revolutionize care delivery through digital or hybrid processes. The STOZ initiative could be an excellent fit for you and your partners if you aim to:

• Save and ease the workload of care or support staff.
• Enable individuals with chronic illnesses or disabilities to live at home longer with the same or reduced level of care or support staff involvement.

It concerns the application of digital or hybrid processes:

• so that more people with care or support needs can be helped with fewer or the same number of employees;
• that improve the quality of life of people with a (high risk of) chronic illness or disability;
• that enable healthcare or support staff to provide better quality of service with less work pressure and more satisfaction.

Types of Project Approaches you can get funding for

1. Implementation Start. Develop a strategy and implementation plan for using digital or hybrid processes in care or support.
2. Scaling up projects. Implement and scale up proven digital or hybrid processes. Eligible processes must be listed in the STOZ overview.
3. Evaluation Projects. Implement and scale up digital or hybrid processes not yet listed in the STOZ overview. These projects require an evaluation and valuation to potentially be included in the STOZ overview.
