Brussels teaching hospital operating 853 beds across three sites
CHU Brugmann is a large public teaching hospital in Brussels handling ~29,000 admissions and 360,000 outpatient visits annually. The tech stack is clinical-standard (HL7, FHIR, REST APIs, Cognos analytics) with heavy reliance on Microsoft Office—typical of legacy healthcare infrastructure. Active hiring targets clinical roles (134 healthcare positions) far more than IT (5 engineering, 3 data), yet IT leadership and reporting infrastructure projects suggest ongoing pressure to modernize patient flow and bed-allocation systems.
Notable leadership hires: Assistant Chief Nurse, Head of Neurology, Neurology Service Head, Head Nurse, IT director
