Welcome to "Digitale Coördinatie"s Wiki.
This innovation project aims to implement a uniform and standardised digital data‑sharing framework to support the coordination of home‑hospitalisation for OPAT (outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy) and antitumoral home treatment. The solution establishes direct interoperability between existing EHR systems used by hospitals, general practitioners, and home‑nursing teams, ensuring that all actors can access the same structured and clinically relevant information.
Care‑organisation and follow‑up data become viewable within each professional’s own EHR environment, including by GPs, home nurses, and multidisciplinary OPAT or oncology teams (specialists, infectious‑disease physicians/oncologists, and hospital pharmacists) who carry final responsibility for the patient’s home‑based treatment.
The standardized digital data exchange—built to work independently of specific vendors—creates a foundation that can be expanded to other forms of home‑hospitalisation in the future. In doing so, the project supports safe, efficient, and scalable “ambulatory care transformation”, enabling more complex treatments to be delivered at home with consistent, high‑quality information flow across care settings.
The project was coordinated by Annabel Dompas (annabel.dompas@uzleuven.be), Lotte Vander Elst (lotte.vanderelst@uzleuven.be) and Evi Vandeneede (evi.vandeneede@uzleuven.be).
