YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Ageing is reshaping demand and care-delivery capacity
- Nearly one in five Dutch residents is aged 65 or over, increasing demand for chronic, geriatric and home-based care while capacity remains finite.
- To align capacity with changing needs, YCP helps providers redesign care pathways, strengthen prevention and build scalable operating models.
Persistent staffing gaps are constraining service continuity
- Health and welfare employers continue to face around 50,000 vacancies, while sickness absence in care remains close to 8%, affecting continuity.
- Through workforce diagnostics and practical transformation plans, YCP helps organisations improve retention, productivity and workforce deployment.
Cost pressure is testing sustainable provider economics
- Healthcare expenditure reached about €113 billion in 2023, exceeding 10% of GDP, as labour, energy and medicine costs pressure provider margins.
- Against this backdrop, YCP supports leaders in identifying efficiency levers, optimising portfolios and linking financial discipline to care quality.
Interoperability mandates are accelerating digital change
- The Electronic Data Exchange in Healthcare Act, in force since 2023, is phasing in interoperability requirements as many providers retain fragmented systems.
- YCP helps translate these requirements into digital roadmaps, governance models and implementation priorities that improve data-enabled care.
