The hospital of tomorrow is built around outpatient care, e-Health, and a more balanced physician remuneration model, including a fair valuation of intellectual acts. In an evolving legal system, institutions — both public and private — must face major challenges: meeting the growing needs of an aging population while controlling finances and ensuring quality of care. They collaborate with many partners (suppliers, INAMI, SPF, AVIQ, trade unions, company councils, medical and paramedical staff…) to better serve citizens.
Belgian Context: Key Figures and Trends
- As of January 2025, Belgium had 103 general hospitals (across 189 sites), grouped into 23 hospital networks to promote local and specialized care.
- In 2023, there were 2.5 million day hospitalizations compared to 1.75 million traditional hospitalizations, highlighting a significant rise in outpatient care.
- Day hospital activity accounts for approximately 57% of the total, driven by more favorable funding, particularly for surgical procedures.
- e-Health is booming in Belgium through the Interfederal eHealth Action Plan 2025–2027, aiming to strengthen interoperability, continuity of care, and the integrated patient file (BIHR).
