OLV Hospital in Aalst works on widely deployable solution for de-identification and pseudonymisation
OLV Aalst is collaborating with Amaron to develop a generic solution: one that can be deployed in different scenarios, and that leaves nothing to chance in terms of data privacy.

Low-code: quickly build solutions for your healthcare institution with a minimum of programming work
With Workflower, you can build applications yourself with little programming knowledge. You increase the flexibility of your organisation and can digitise processes, even if there is not enough capacity within your organisation to develop software.

New slogan for Amaron
Connectivity, or interoperability, has long been Amaron’s focus. Our previous slogan 'Healthcare IT Integration' made this clear, but it didn’t go far enough. Today, we do so much more, so it was high time to launch a new slogan that better describes and summarises what we now stand for.

Northern Netherlands region builds digital multidisciplinary consultation (MDC) platform with Workflower
To support the complex MDC process, a dedicated platform has been created in the Northern Netherlands using Workflower. A three-hospital pilot project has shown that Workflower can be used to set up an effective platform in a relatively short time—without requiring extensive development.

New: Workflower apps – quick and easy deployment for every care organisation
Every hospital has its own unique, organisation-specific work processes. But at the same time, there are processes that are nearly identical across different facilities. Workflower applications that have been created to manage these processes in one hospital, can thus be effortlessly implemented in others.

Contact person receives sms when patient is back in their room after surgery
On March 15, AZ Alma launched a project that made patients, employees and families very happy. From now on, the contact person for a patient will receive a text message when they return to their room after a medical procedure.

Secure data access for external parties
Big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are opening up unprecedented opportunities in healthcare. But these new technologies also pose a wide array of challenges, including around privacy and liability. Two techniques that can help you make data accessible to external parties in a responsible manner, are anonymisation and pseudonymisation.

Workflower reduces workloads for the infection prevention team
The AZ Sint-Jan hospital in Bruges chose Workflower to fully automate its process for infection prevention: from assigning isolation tasks to carrying out follow-up screenings. The nursing units now have all the information they need, in real time, to take the appropriate action, giving the Infection Prevention Team more time to assist caregivers on the work floor with practical advice.

AZ Alma has ambitious plans for Workflower
The hospital started by using Workflower to digitise the preoperative consultation process. Since then, AZ Alma has also deployed several COVID-19 processes, and has concrete plans for others. Fritz Defloor, Director of Care Support Services, explains why he is so satisfied with Workflower.

ZOL hospital goes live with Workflower for managing diabetes protocols
Among the many advantages of this new Workflower application: fast and automatic application submission and tracking; streamlined material management and billing flows; improved interfaces with other systems; and finally, well-organised follow-up lists for the care staff.

More than 30 institutions are already making data accessible through CoZo, with the help of Amaron
CoZo has become Flanders’ largest hub for making medical results accessible. More and more hospitals and organisations turn to us to help them make their patients' medical results accessible through this platform—securely and with respect for patient privacy.

AZ Sint-Lucas Brugge automates follow-up of applications from patients who want access to their medical records
Patients have a legal right to review their medical records and to request a copy of them. Forms are available from the hospital's ombud or the hospital website. The patient simply returns the completed form to the hospital. But how does the hospital make sure the application ends up with the right person? Does the application meet all requirements, and is it handled within the legal deadlines?

Clinic Saint Jean chooses the Amaron EAI platform with standardized HL7 processor
The existing Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) environment at the Clinic Saint Jean in Brussels no longer met the needs of the hospital. The system was not sufficiently open, and its continuity was not guaranteed. So, the hospital decided to phase out its old EAI and replace it with an open and standardized solution from a supplier who can deliver maximum support.

MPI Matchmaker ensures error-free fusion of patient data
When hospitals decide to merge or to establish collaborations, this always has far-reaching implications for the information infrastructure of the hospitals involved. The first step is to merge the patient files. Only after a time will you then consolidate, step-by-step, the information systems themselves. This was also the method chosen for the fusion of the ZOL Genk hospital in Genk with the Maas & Kempen hospital in Maaseik. Using the Workflower app “MPI Matchmaker”, this time-consuming process could be automated to a large extent.

Registering employee and patient vaccinations: Workflower vaccination solution 2.0
In early 2021, we rolled out a Workflower solution which allows hospitals to register their employees' vaccinations. This vaccination data is secured and automatically transmitted to Vaccinnet. This process also makes it possible for healthcare organizations to see the vaccination rates of their employees at any given moment.

AZ Sint-Lucas reminds patients of their appointments using the Amaron Notification Center
AZ Sint-Lucas in Ghent has started using a new electronic patient record. Because this EPR does not include a solution for reminding patients of their appointments via SMS, the hospital’s IT Department, together with Amaron, has set up a Workflower solution – the Amaron Notification Center. The greatest advantage of this generic solution is that you can use it to send out all kinds of messages and you can configure almost everything yourself.

Central lending service at Heilig Hart Hospital in Lier deploys Workflower for managing nursing equipment
To use the available nursing equipment efficiently and to avoid losing track of equipment, Heilig Hart Hospital in Lier works with a central lending service. A Workflower process ensures that the management of requests for additional resources runs efficiently. The departments quickly find the material they need, and at the lending service they know exactly where each device is located.

Amaron accelerates growth with capital injection
To achieve our plans for continued growth both at home and abroad, Amaron has enlisted two investors: HERAN Partners and Active Capital. An initial 2-million-euro capital injection provides us with the oxygen we need to turbocharge our growth plans and substantially expand our workforce.

Help, the patient is not known!
Imagine for a moment that a dentist refers one of her patients to a maxillofacial surgeon in your hospital. The dentist provides the medical data for this patient to the surgeon via eHealthBox. The patient has never been in your hospital before, and her national registry number is not known either. How do you then link the data with the medical record and make sure that the surgeon has access to the patient's data?

Oost-Limburg Hospital uses Workflower for the onboarding of physicians
The list of data and documents a hospital maintains for its (independent) physicians is long. Collecting this information is a very time-consuming process. Together with Amaron, the ZOL hospital in Genk has developed a solution to streamline all the steps of the onboarding process.

Hospitals share patient records across national borders
The ZorgSaam Hospital in Zeeland (the Netherlands) works closely with care organisations in Belgium. The Belgian hospitals can easily access the medical patient data and images from ZorgSaam, and vice versa.

Amaron migrates old (and expensive!) EAI solutions to Mirth Connect
A future-proof communication environment does not necessarily have to cost an arm and a leg. Amaron has proven this on several occasions by migrating existing EAI solutions to NextGen Connect (formerly Mirth). Emmaus Mechelen, ASZ Aalst and the Sint-Trudo Hospital in Sint Truiden, among others, can certainly testify to this.
