Right now, in a Dutch hospital, a team of oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists gathers for a tumor board meeting. They’re spread across different locations, yet they collaborate as if they were in the same room. High-resolution medical images are shared in real time, critical treatment decisions are made, and patient outcomes are improved – all thanks to a seamless and secure video connection. For many hospitals in the Netherlands and beyond, this scenario is a daily reality made possible by Pexip.
In the fast-paced environment of Dutch healthcare, seamless collaboration is essential. Whether discussing complex cases in multi-disciplinary meetings (MDTs) or coordinating patient care across hospitals, video conferencing plays a vital role. But hospitals face unique challenges: each institution operates independently, IT environments vary, and privacy regulations are strict. That’s why many Dutch hospitals choose a flexible, secure, and high-quality video solution tailored to their needs.
Seamless communication across hospitals
One of the key reasons Dutch hospitals opt for Pexip is its unparalleled flexibility. Unlike centralized healthcare systems, Dutch hospitals each have their own IT infrastructure and decision-making authority. This means there’s no standard platform for video communication. With Pexip, hospitals can seamlessly integrate existing technologies, ensuring interoperability across platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Webex.
This is especially critical for MDTs, where specialists from different hospitals must collaborate efficiently. Oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons often rely on Full-HD video for precise image-sharing and diagnostics, which can directly impact patient outcomes. Pexip ensures that these meetings are not only accessible but also deliver the high-quality video needed for medical decision making.
Supporting life-saving decisions
In healthcare, the quality of a video meeting goes beyond just convenience; it’s about accuracy and trust. When discussing patient cases, poor audio or video quality can hinder effective collaboration. Pexip’s Full-HD resolution and high-fidelity audio ensure that every detail is visible, and every voice is heard clearly, minimizing the risk of misinterpretation.
Reliability is another critical factor. Hospital IT teams need solutions that work consistently, without technical disruptions. With Pexip’s self-hosted, cloud, or virtual private deployment options, hospitals can ensure uptime, security, and performance tailored to their needs.
Protecting sensitive patient data
Dutch hospitals must comply with stringent data protection regulations, including GDPR and national privacy laws. Pexip provides a secure environment where patient information remains confidential. Hospitals can choose between on-premises deployment, private cloud, or video-platform-as-a-Service (VPaaS), ensuring that video meetings adhere to their specific security requirements.
For added security, Pexip offers Virtual Meeting Rooms with PIN protection and the ability to host one-time meetings for highly confidential discussions. And because Pexip is headquartered in Norway, a part of the European Economic Area, hospitals can trust that their data is handled in accordance with European privacy standards.
Simplifying hospital workflows
Hospital staff need technology that enhances, rather than complicates, their workflow. With Pexip’s One-Touch Join, specialists can enter meetings with a single button press, eliminating technical barriers and reducing IT support calls. This is particularly valuable in MDT rooms, which are increasingly used for various medical and administrative meetings throughout the day.
Looking ahead, Dutch hospitals are exploring even more streamlined scheduling with Pexip’s two-button meeting scheduling, allowing healthcare professionals to distinguish between standard (e.g., Teams) and secure (privacy-critical) meetings effortlessly.
A future-ready solution for hospitals
As the demand for secure, high-quality medical collaboration grows, hospitals around the world continue to choose Pexip for its flexibility, reliability, and ease of use. Whether facilitating tumor board discussions, enabling seamless hospital-to-hospital communication, or ensuring data privacy, Pexip empowers healthcare professionals with a video solution they can trust.
