The relationship between an independent medical specialist and the hospital is governed by the access agreement. On 1 January 2008, the financing of medical specialist care has changed, with dramatic consequences for the legal relationship between independent medical specialists and the hospital. Increased attention to quality control also affects this relationship. The model access agreement needs to be changed on some points as a result of various developments so that the hospital management will have more tools at hand to manage patient care.
