Concepts of hospital financing, hospital legislation and financial management
The hospital world is becoming increasingly complex, and insights into financing, registration and quality indicators are crucial for making well-considered strategic decisions.
​
During this training course, you will gain insight into how data registration is directly linked to the Budget of Financial Resources, quality of care and policy implementation. We will provide you with tools to use this data strategically in your role as a board member, director or doctor in a policy position.
​​
The training course is structured around three modules:
-
MG-MZG (Medical Data)
-
NRG model (Nursing Data)
-
Material flat rate (Pharmacy)
​
At 6 p.m., you can stay for a networking moment with sandwiches.
Tailored to the target audience
This training course has been tailored to (new) board members and directors, but doctors who sit on the medical council or are interested in policy are also welcome.
​
This training course seamlessly follows on from a previous training course on hospital financing and policy data. However, even those who missed the first day of the training can still follow this course without any problems.
​
We also offer a course on this topic for staff members. You can find this course here.
Modules
MVG: NRG-model
This part of the training course takes a closer look at the NRG model, a grouping model that classifies nursing care into groups based on the national VG-MZG.
Each group or NRG represents a collection of care periods in which similar care is provided to the patient. The NRGs form the basis for calculating additional funding via component B2 of the BFM.
After a theoretical section, in which the structure of the NRG model is discussed, sufficient time is devoted to the impact and analysis of the NRGs on the basis of a practical example.
Lecturers
​
Hilde Malcorps is a staff member Patient Care and VG-MZG coordinator at UZA
​​
Philip Vervliet is a healthcare analytics specialist at Solventum
MG-MZG
Whereas the first training day focused on the Financial Resources Budget, low-variable care, length of stay performance and DRG parameters, this time we will take a closer look at Gpot, Gfin, emergency units and NPERCIZ.
After a thorough theoretical explanation, the concepts will be clarified through the elaboration of a practical example concerning Gpot and Gfin.
Lecturers

Frederic Vanswijgenhoven is an expert in hospital financing at Jessa Hospital and a researcher at Ghent University and Vlerick Business School, focusing on efficiency in hospitals.

Nathalie Baillieul is a manager at Hict.
Pharmacy: material fee
Following on from the pharmacy - medicine flat rate module, this time we will be looking at the material flat rate.
The material flat rate (in full: flat rate for invasive medical devices) is divided into different categories. The various aspects of these categories are explained.
We will then zoom in on a feedback example for doctors to facilitate harmonisation and map out the financial impact of the flat rates.
