Employment history

Antwerp Hospital Network

ZNA Sint-Erasmus
Luitenant Lippenslaan 55
B-2140 Borgerhout (Antwerpen)
Belgium

Department of Clinical Data & Analytics

Since 1 September 2021, I am working for the Antwerp Hospital Network (Dutch: Ziekenhuis Netwerk Antwerpen, ZNA) at the Department of Clinical Data & Analytics on value-based healthcare (VBHC), data science, and terminology. (SNOMED CT, ICD-10-BE, ...). As a staff member mainly working with tools such as R, and Power BI for the analysis and improvement of our clinical data and processes.

ZNA is Belgium's leading healthcare provider offering affordable and high-quality healthcare in the Antwerp metropolitan area and beyond, and one of Europe's top ten hospitals. It consists of three general hospitals (ZNA Jan Palfijn, ZNA Middelheim, ZNA Cadix), seven day centers, six specialized hospitals, a psychiatric nursing home and a residential care center.

In 2016, ZNA and GZA (Gasthuis Zusters Antwerpen), decided to start collaborating in a network. In 2024, ZNA and GZA will officially become one. Ziekenhuis Aan de Stroom (ZAS), as the joint hospital network is called, will be one of the largest in Europe.

Health Policy Management Support Department

From 1 October 2010 until 31 August 2021, I was working for the Antwerp Hospital Network (Dutch: Ziekenhuis Netwerk Antwerpen-ZNA) at the Health Policy Management Support Department as physician-manager for medical coding, part of our hospital discharge dataset (HDDS, based on ICD-10-BE, APR-DRGs, Minimal Clinical Data - MCD, MG-MZG). In addition I worked on the use of clinical ontology, semantic interoperability (SNOMED CT) and value-based healthcare (VBHC).

RealDolmen

RealDolmen
Professional Services Division
A. Vaucampslaan 42
B-1654 Huizingen
Belgium

From 2 September 2008 until 30 September 2010, I was working for RealDolmen (merger of Real Software and Dolmen), as Business Consultant.
Realdolmen has a broad portfolio of solutions and services. I worked on process and technology improvement projects, mainly in healthcare (eHealth), translational medicine and Life Sciences, assisted customers to improve their processes and technology and worked together with them on their change process so they achieved better operational results. We used an Enterprise Architecture (EA) approach in complex business (e.g.: mergers and acquisitions) and technology projects (applications, infrastructure) to (re-)align organizational goals, business processes and technology from top to bottom and from their current "AS IS" state to their new and optimized "TO BE" state.

Many thanks to my former colleague, Mario Van Damme (1973-2010), for teaching me a lot about Enterprise Architecture (EA).

Real Software

Real Software
Professional Services Division
Prins Boudewijnlaan 26
B-2550 Kontich
Belgium

From 7 November 2005 until 1 September 2008, I was working for Real Software, first as Senior Consultant and from June 2006 until August 2008 also as Quality Officer. Our company became CMMI ML2 certified in 2006, for which I established the PPQA compliant Quality Office (CMMI Maturity Level 2 compliant QA process implementation).
I did process and technology improvement projects in healthcare and Life Sciences, thereby assisting our customers to improve their processes and technology and worked together with them on their change process so they achieved better operational results.
As part of our CMMI certification, I created the QA Office at CMMI ML2 for Real Software and as a Quality Officer worked on internal process improvement (CMMI ML2-3, PMI PMBOK) and implemented new processes in order to improve the performance and quality of our projects and the service towards our customers (improving project control during the entire project Life Cycle). As a QA Officer, I audited and coached our project teams to improve our project team performance and increase customer satisfaction. Therefore I also trained our colleagues on process management principles and project management skills (trained more than 300 people on all CMMI ML 2 process areas).

For our service management, I managed the implementation of the corporate helpdesk so we could improve our customer services. I managed the customer relations for our Ergomed and Ergomed Online Mobile (EOM) software (occupational medicine). Together with our colleagues of ORIAM in France, Real Software worked on solutions for Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), Adverse Event Reporting Systems (Pharmacovigilance), and Biobanking (Biorepositories).
We developed our Enterprise Architecture (EA) assessment approach to align organizational goals, business processes and technology in complex business and technology projects (mergers and acquisitions, fast growing companies). Thereby creating a complete program to migrate an organisation from "AS IS" to "TO BE ".

The BioPharmaTechnology House

The BioPharmaTechnology House
De Biezen 22
B-2450 Meerhout
Belgium

From 16 July 2005 until 1 September 2005 I was working as Senior Consultant for The BioPharmaTechnology House (BPTH) which develops technology for the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. The company is specialised in supporting pharmaceutical laboratories including measuring setups as well as laboratory information management systems (LIMS).

MAIA SCIENTIFIC

MAIA SCIENTIFIC NV
Cipalstraat 3
B-2440 Geel
Belgium

From 2 July 2001 until 20 May 2005 I worked for MAIA SCIENTIFIC as Director Imaging Technology and IT.

Management of software development for the MIAS automated microscopy imaging and High-Content Screening (HCS) technology platform. Project management for development of an HCS software framework based on the MIAS-2 platform (eaZYX). Assay development and automation for cell-based assays, histology and model organisms, automated High Content Screening (HCS) systems and advanced multi-mode image processing software based on Partial Differential Equations (PDE), scale-space and the spatial color model (Front-End Vision and Multi-Scale Image Analysis, co-author of Chapter 18: Color differential structure, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003).

During this period I had an idea about a human cytome project.

Janssen Pharmaceutica

Janssen Pharmaceutica NV a Johnson & Johnson company
Turnhoutseweg 30
B-2340 Beerse
Belgium

From 31 Dec. 1996 until 30 June 2001, I worked as Senior Scientist Biomedical Imaging at the Biological Imaging Laboratory team of the Life Science Department (project management, HCS development). I worked on assay development and automation for cell-based assays, histology and model organisms.

We worked on fully automated High Content Screening (HCS) and image analysis systems for drug discovery, preclinical and early clinical development. In my role I contributed to several research programs in CNS, oncology, cardiology and other disease areas. My main responsibility within the team was to develop imaging technology for research projects which required automated quantification of image data: (tissue) morphology, brightfield screening, High Content Screening (HCS), C. elegans projects and MRI for small lab animals. Our imaging team developed fully automated solutions (plate handling, cell incubators, automated illumination, cardiac cell stimulators, ... ) for both brightfield as well as fluorescence imaging. Part of this also involved time-lapse and real-time microscopy for dynamic in-vivo studies (e.g. Ca2+ ratio imaging). Our work was done in close collaboration with several research groups from different departments in the company. I was also involved in an initiative to start with MRI imaging of transgenic disease models.

During this period I also started a small company (DeNeMa), together with a friend, specialised in Linux systems for SME businesses. It was interesting to do and I learned a lot about starting a small business.
