Healthcare

BDO's healthcare specialists guide the sector through growth, collaboration, and digital transformation challenges.

Towards a healthy and future-proof sector, with a keen attention to sustainability

What challenges are healthcare companies and organisations facing today? 

  • cost containment: the rising cost of healthcare services and products is an ongoing challenge for providers and patients alike.
  • data management and privacy: managing medical data securely and efficiently and ensuring patient privacy is crucial, but also complex due to the scale and sensitivity of this data.
  • shortage of healthcare providers: there is a structural and growing shortage of qualified medical staff, which limits access to care. 
  • technology integration: integrating innovations and new technologies, such as electronic health records and telehealth systems, is both a major opportunity and challenge at the same time.  
  • there is a need for financial advice and structuring, including in response to mergers and acquisitions or in the context of (re)construction projects.
  • Regulatory and compliance: the healthcare sector faces stringent regulations, entailing complex compliance requirements. 

The Healthcare sector is a sector full of trends, challenges and opportunities, including:

  • rapid growth of e-Health 
  • the ever-increasing importance and associated challenges of data security 
  • making working in healthcare attractive or more attractive, to address the labour shortage  
  • an ongoing digital transformation within healthcare 
  • scaling up, networking and new forms of cooperation between health institutions. 

How BDO can help

To seize new growth opportunities, organisations in the healthcare sector must:

  • help to organise an integrated continuum of care provision (read: integrated care), whereby existing “silos” (patient care, care of the elderly, home care, etc.) and partitions between sub-areas disappear: this cooperation and integration can have a positive impact on the “patient and employee experience”, the costs and the quality of care provision 
  • keep a finger on the pulse of new regulations and legal rules, so that care organisations can develop a future-proof policy in accordance with current legislation and regulations  
  • invest in expertise for digital transformation processes, including a focus on a solid cybersecurity strategy.
