NewCompliance's partners

We collaborate with a great diversity of partners: from universities and hospitals to commercial parties

We believe collaboration between different disciplines spurs innovation. Input from individuals across different perspectives, that is universities, hospitals and commercial parties, results in bigger ideas and better products.

Erasmus MC: University Medical Centre Rotterdam / Havenziekenhuis

The first OR-door movement counter was developed in co-operation with the Department of Medical Microbiology of the Erasmus MC. Moreover the software module to reduce Surgical Site Infections (SSI) was developed in collaboration with the Erasmus MC: University Medical Centre Rotterdam. (www.havenziekenhuis.nl)

Technical University Delft

The OR-door movement counter is the result of collaboration between NewCompliance, the Technical University Delft and the Erasmus MC. Our office is located next to the campus of the university, therefore we are close to technical developments and innovations. Additionally, the TU Delft, NewCompliance and eight other parties collaborate in a project called: Digital Operating Room Assistant (DORA). (www.tudelft.nl)

Sint Maartens clinic

Together with the Sint Maartens Clinic, the software of the OR-door movement counter was further developed and expanded. (www.maartenskliniek.nl)

RSM Erasmus University

In 2004 the prominent researcher Pittet pleaded for a much greater emphasis on the behavioural sciences in infection control and prevention programs. NewCompliance is one of the pioneers in this field. In the development of our interventions we work closely together with the RSM, consequently we benefit from their knowhow and experience in the field of (social) marketing, psychology and behavioral science. (www.eur.nl)

Canisius Wilhelmina Hospital

The hand hygiene program and the associated interventions and website (www.handhygieneredtlevens.nl) have been developed in co-operation with the department of Infection Prevention, led by professor Andreas Voss. NewCompliance provided two care units of the hospital with hand alcohol dispensers with wireless sensors in order to measure the use of the dispensers. The project, running from 2007 to 2008, was executed in collaboration with the Departments of Medical Microbiology and Infection Prevention. (www.cwz.nl)

RF Surgical Systems

RF-Surgical is our international partner in the field of sensor featured sponges that prevent retained materials in the patient’s body. NewCompliance owns the exclusive right to offer the RF Surgical Detection System to Dutch hospitals. The American company RF Surgical Systems supplies over 70 hospitals in the United Stated. Within these hospitals they work no longer with the regular gauzes. The result of working merely with sensor featured sponges is that the amount of incidents with retained sponges is reduced to zero. (www.rf-surg.com)
