Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland has recently been awarded four top clinical recognitions from the Association of Collaborating Top Clinical Training Hospitals (STZ). The hospital’s expertise centers in ‘asthma, COPD, allergy & occupational lung diseases’ and ‘IBD (chronic intestinal inflammation) in adults and children’ have received the STZ recognition for the third and second time respectively. Additionally, the specialties of Abdominal Wall Surgery and the Rotterdam Dizziness Center have received their first-ever top clinical recognitions.
Located in the Franciscus Willemsplein outpatient clinic, the Rotterdam Dizziness Center collaborates with specialists from the top clinical Maasstad Hospital to provide comprehensive care for patients with dizziness disorders. This recognition showcases Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland’s commitment to expanding its expertise centers, with a total of eight currently in operation and plans for further expansion in the coming years.
The primary objective of these expertise centers is to offer multidisciplinary care for patients while also striving to innovate and enhance the quality of healthcare. Top clinical care, which specializes in highly complex conditions, requires a strong emphasis on training, scientific research, and healthcare innovation. The hospital ensures the transfer of in-house knowledge to doctors and nurses in training, offering a wide range of medical and nursing further education courses and its own training programs.
The association of Collaborating Top Clinical Training Hospitals (STZ) has been recognizing Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland as a member since 2008. The hospital’s Asthma, COPD & Allergy expertise center received its first STZ recognition soon after joining the association. With the recent extension of the IBD center’s STZ recognition, the hospital aims to provide even better care for patients of all ages, focusing on individualized patient care rather than just treating the disease.
The STZ quality marks awarded to the Abdominal Wall Surgery and the collaboration between ENT and neurology departments with Maasstad Hospital for the Rotterdam Dizziness Center demonstrate Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland’s commitment to providing specialized care for a range of conditions. The hospital also offers top clinical care for obesity, breast cancer, gastrointestinal ischemia, and neonatal respiratory problems and infections.
The Association of Collaborating Top Clinical Training Hospitals (STZ) evaluates the quality of top clinical care provided by the 27 top clinical hospitals based on various criteria, including specialized diagnostics and new treatment methods. The STZ register provides further information on Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland’s top clinical expertise centers.
