We enjoyed working with Arnout. Arnout is sharp, critical, well prepared, gives clear explanations and approaches things from a different angle. In the cooperation with Arnout, we learned to look at a problem in a different way and to apply a method for mapping out the problem. The formats of Arnout and his story of the boat (visualizing the problem) will stay with us. He helped us to think in terms of possibilities, to be patient, to analyze the problem well first and to see if it is well-founded. So not immediately into action mode.

You too, can have 2x more time for your patients, without adding people or expensive technology. 

How?!

Understandably, not by yourself.  You absolutely have no time to change your situation. 

And if you did, you would walk into a wall of resistance of your team.

This is exactly why I developed my unique "Patients First Improvement System”.

By applying my system, you create a situation in which:

* You can easily help all patients
* Meetings take 15 minutes or less 
* You actually solve problems
* You improve every day, with your team
* You go home on time, energized and satisfied.

Why am I doing this?

After my engineering studies, I was a production and project manager in the automotive industry, with no clear purpose in life. Until I became a father...

I have three great sons, but yes ... with such wild brats you sometimes visit a hospital. Like that time when my middle son had broken his leg between the spokes of my bicycle. Upon arrival at the emergency room, I was amazed at the lack of clarity. Where were we supposed to go? How long would it take? It gave me a headache and stomach ache, and I wasn't even the patient.

“Surely we can do better than that when caring for people,” I thought.

Because I have seen and experienced first hand how frustrating working in healthcare can be, I found my purpose: helping healthcare providers improve their process, leadership and organization for their patients. 

I now have 30 years of experience with process improvement in the workplace, 20 of which in the daily practice of healthcare. 

I have helped 100s of physicians, nursing team leaders and managers make patient care safer, better and more productive.

Customer feedback:

“We chose Arnout because of his deep-seated drive to improve healthcare. One of the many results has been a 40% increase in productivity. We now help many more, more complex patients, without employing additional staff, while employee satisfaction rose from sub par to a 7+.”

“we reduced the number of medication errors from 9 to 1 per quarter. We also saved 3 hours per month on corrections and checks.”
