Guidion announces acquisition of BLEDs

Guidion announces acquisition of BLEDs, allowing hospitals to carry out medical treatments at home on a large scale.

Amsterdam, July 21, 2023 — Field service pioneer Guidion is pleased to announce the acquisition of BLEDs, a leading provider of hospital displaced home care. This strategic acquisition offers hospitals, doctors and pharmacists an efficient, on-demand and scalable solution for hospital relocated care as part of patients' treatment plans.

“Guidion's acquisition of Bleds is a fantastic development,” says Michiel van Duijvendijk (CEO of Guidion). “By enriching Bleds' team of medical experts with Guidion's digital platform, we can now quickly scale medical treatments at home based on demand.”

Creating a hybrid care process in which treatments can be offered to patients at home is an important initiative to achieve the “Integral Care Agreement”. This partnership offers hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies a ready-to-use solution to provide services that currently burden their internal organization.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Guidion,” said Wilma Kuipers (CEO of BLEDs). “Guidion's proven digital platform, combined with our in-depth knowledge of hospital relocated care, allows us to expand our range of services and increase the number of patients we can support. Together with healthcare providers, we will make the best medical care accessible to patients in their own homes.”

Healthcare industry leaders, including hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, are encouraged to take advantage of this groundbreaking partnership. By expanding the scope and efficiency of medical services, Guidion and BLEDs provide opportunities for healthcare providers to provide efficient, personalized, and accessible patient care.

Bleds will continue to operate under its own brand. For more information about this strategic acquisition and how it can transform the healthcare landscape, please visit www.bleds.nl.
