Ordina wins application development and management contract from health insurance body
Nieuwegein, 5 July 2013
Following a public tender procedure, the health care insurance board College
voor Zorgverzekeringen (CVZ) has selected Ordina as one of three preferred
suppliers for the development and management of tailor-made applications and IT
consultancy. The framework agreement is valid for a minimum of three and a
maximum of five years. The agreement bolsters Ordina's position in the
healthcare market and marks a further expansion of the company's management
activities.
The CVZ has opted to outsource IT services so it can respond quickly and
flexibly to new technologies at reduced cost. The CVZ, together with its IT
partners, will also be able to adapt its existing IT services to the evolving
wishes and demands of both the government and the public. The move is part of
the organisation's drive to continuously improve its services.
"The CVZ is faced with changes in legislation and regulations, government budget
cuts and ever greater demands from the public," says Barend de Zoete, Director
of Professional Services & Projects at Ordina. "This makes enormous demands of
the organisation's IT infrastructure. After all, the CVZ has to deal not just
with the government and the public, but also with insurance companies and care
providers. And they too expect their claims to be processed quickly and they
expect the processes to be in line with the latest rules and regulations. I am
convinced that our experience in the healthcare market and our expertise in
tailor-made applications will enable us optimise the CVZ's IT infrastructure.
Our goal is to make sure that IT continues to support CVZ in the execution of
its tasks: advice on and execution of public healthcare insurances."
