Is your biggest capacity challenge really a discharge challenge, or a patient flow challenge? Check out our upcoming webinar.
Register here!Enovation is collaborating on the frontrunner programme ‘Met spoed beschikbaar’ (Available with Urgency), in which healthcare providers in Sneek are testing the retrieval of emergency summaries from patient records. Within this frontrunner project, RAV Fryslân and Dokterszorg Friesland are exploring how ambulance care professionals can retrieve emergency summaries from GP records. The premise is that ambulance care professionals have all the necessary data available to provide patients with adequate care in acute situations.
The project is being launched with the GPs and the ambulance care professionals working at the ambulance station in Sneek. UMCG Ambulancezorg’s ambulance station is part of RAV Fryslân. Within the frontrunner project Met spoed beschikbaar, Enovation is providing the technical integration of the emergency summary at RAV Fryslân.
‘When our ambulance care professionals receive a notification via the dispatch centre, they can use this digital message to immediately request the emergency summary from the GP’, explains Marleen Droge, Team Leader at UMCG Ambulancezorg Sneek. ‘This ensures that they quickly have all essential information about the patient at their disposal, including contraindications, medication sensitivities and treatment limitations such as do-not-resuscitate orders. This contributes to providing appropriate care in emergency situations.’
‘The GPs affiliated with our organisation see it as an important step to be among the first to start working with this message’, says Renate van der Meulen, CMIO at Dokterszorg Friesland. ‘The timely availability of the data from the emergency summary ensures an efficient transfer of the patient in acute situations. The emergency summary is automatically requested and sent, therefore requiring no manual action from the GPs.’
Besides Enovation, Sanday is also involved in Met spoed beschikbaar as an ICT supplier. As part of the frontrunner project, the emergency summary is requested via message 7 (ambulance) and, at a later stage, will also be available via message 3 (dispatch centre) from the Acute Care Data Exchange Guideline. RSO GERRIT and Acute Zorgnetwerk Noord-Nederland are supervising the implementation project. This collaboration is a frontrunner project of the national programme Met spoed beschikbaar.
Data availability is essential for high-quality digital healthcare. Data must be accessible, usable, and relevant—with the patient’s consent. Both nationally and across Europe, through the EHDS, efforts are underway to enable secure and standardised data exchange.

Nexuzhealth and Enovation have joined forces to enable the secure exchange of digital medical data between Belgian hospitals and Dutch GPs. AZ Vesalius is the first hospital to use the solution. This is good news for doctors and patients on both sides of the border as they can now share patient data faster by using this secure digital messaging service. Sending letters is a thing of the past, saving time and improving the efficiency of healthcare for those living in the border region between Belgium and the Netherlands.
