Flemish Hospital Network (VZN - Vlaams Ziekenhuisnetwerk)
Apart from the operational partnerships, UZ Leuven established an extensive quality network. The Vlaams Ziekenhuisnetwerk (VZN) is a partnership of 31 hospitals from all over Flanders that share their knowledge and data with one another. The network wants to maintain and lift the quality and efficiency of patient care, traning, research and hospital management in the hospitals involved to a high level. The Vzn also protects common interests by campaigning, releasing publications and negotiating with policy makers.
