Suppliers of goods and services related to hospital care will integrate foreward and start own institutions for hospital care. This will be based upon the strategic option that Porter’s five competitive forces provide.

Enablers:

• Increased buying power of (concentrated) hospitals
• Increased buying power healthcare insurers
• Already ZBC’s functional (zelfstandige behandel centra; independent treatment centres)

Inhibitors:

• Financial entry barriers
• Insufficient knowledge
• Product driven background; patient not central in the model

Paradigms:

• Traditional roles

Experts:

• NN

Timing:

First steps will be taken in 5 years from now, after the flaws of the new system are appearant and the feasibility-studies have been performed
