Get to know EHFCN

Welcome to the European Healthcare Fraud and Corruption Network (EHFCN). Discover our team, learn about our activities that foster collaboration, and explore our history in building a network across Europe. Each aspect highlights our commitment to strengthening connections for improved healthcare integrity.

The European Healthcare Fraud & Corruption Network (EHFCN) is a network of European organizations active in healthcare and counter fraud. EHFCN supports its members in their work of prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution and redress of healthcare fraud, corruption, and waste.

Our operational objectives as a network are

  • Within the network
    exchange expertise, best practices and working standards
  • From peer outside the network
    learning new insights and expertise
  • To policy makers
    demonstrating the importance of combating fraud, corruption and waste in the healthcare sector as part of access to care

Our vision is:

  1. to support and challenge our members to collaborate and exchange knowledgeand expertise. For every member’s challenge, another member has the expertise. For every question, an answer. We like to challenge each other but also ourselves. Which is the best way to prevent fraud? Can pattern recognition and AI help us to detect false billing? Can we measure the added value (financial and service quality) of certain inspection activities? Why are there national differences in the legal application of EU regulations? How can we target existing financial resources more effectively for better health outcomes and get more appropriate care?
  2. to attract technical expertise and new insights from peers outside the network
  3. to increase awareness among policymakers and the general public of the factthat combating fraud, corruption and waste means releasing resources which can be used to improve patients’ health.
