Birth registration in 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 (ConsultRN).
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:
Vaccination registration in Vacinnet
Workflower makes it easy to register vaccinations in the Flemish Vaccinnet (Vitalink) application. From within the EHR, the doctor or nurse transfers the identification data for hospital and patient to Workflower, with just the press of a button. Workflower generates a task to register the vaccine: the nurse scans the vaccine’s unique GTIN code (or enters it manually) and fills in the vaccination data, which is then forwarded to Vaccinnet.
Patient identification in Covid-19 test centres
Many hospitals have set up centres where people can be tested for Covid-19, for example upon referral by a primary care physician or when admitted to the hospital. Our Workflower application simplifies the administration of your centre. It links with the LIS to automatically generate an electronic laboratory request, while linking with the HIS to ensure that patient data is checked before processing the order. If a patient is unknown to the system, it will retrieve the national register data from the eHealth service ConsultRN.
