The revenue side is politically capped. Whether you stay in the black or move into the red depends on how efficiently you run operations. Calculate in two minutes where potential lies in your organisation.

Why now

The cost side will determine 2027

Three issues every executive will have on the table in the second half of the year.

01 · The problem in numbers€4.6 bn

Revenues are being capped

In 2027 alone, hospitals will lose roughly this amount. Most-favoured-nation clauses, nursing budgets and wage refinancing increase pressure on the cost side.

02 · The hypothesis8 to 15 %

The potential lies in operations

In most organisations, this share of operating costs lies in processes that can be improved without reducing services: OR, materials, workforce deployment and patient flow.

03 · The PEC approach4 to 6 weeks

Operational excellence from industry

Frequently asked questions

What executives want to know first

How long does the analysis take?

The cost-structure quick scan runs for four to six weeks and ends with a quantified programme of measures that can move directly into implementation.

Do we have to reduce services?

No. The goal is more efficient operations with the same care mandate: potential in processes, OR, materials, workforce deployment and patient flow.

How is PEC different from large consultancies?

PEC works operationally and measurably, not just strategically. The effect is evidenced in euros and implementation is supported through to the result.

Is KHTF funding possible?

Depending on the project, yes. PEC assesses eligibility across the eight funding categories of the Hospital Transformation Fund.
