eBirth
The hospital information system notifies Workflower when a baby has been born. The midwives complete the administrative information in a Workflower form. Once the government’s eHealth platform has accepted the administrative data, the birth registration certificate may be printed. Within 45 days the medical information is also entered in a Workflower form – either automatically from an existing application, or manually by one of the nurses – and transmitted to eHealth.
Interfacing with the national register
Based on the patient’s national register number, this application retrieves the patient’s demographic information via the eHealth National Register Number Consult service.
Orthopride forms
A process is started for every procedure that requires an Orthopride registration. The doctor then completes the necessary medical data, and verifies the registered components and products. Once this information is complete, it is transmitted to the government’s eHealth platform. After approval by the public authorities, the pharmacy is given the task to supplement the billing information with the government’s registration number.
Covid-19 contact tracing
To support the call centres handling Covid-19 contact tracing, Belgian public health institute Sciensano has created a database that collects all relevant data from hospitals and laboratories. With the help of Workflower and interfaces, hospitals can automate the transfer of data to this database, to make it available safely and quickly to the contact tracers.
Four message types have been defined for data transfers from hospitals:
