Optimal integration of care pathway functionality within the digital front door
The Enovation patient portal brings together various e-health applications with the aim of offering a clear and trusted starting point for the patient; one place where notifications and tasks from digital applications converge.
The implementation of the Digital HealthcarePaths module is a great example where optimal integration is ensured for both the patient and the healthcare provider. The module was developed through a collaboration between EHR supplier NEXUS, the Dutch Gelderse Vallei Hospital (for care pathway content knowledge), and Enovation Funatic. The contribution of Gelderse Vallei Hospital has resulted in 70 standardized care pathways.
Development program
With the participation of Groene Hart Hospital, a joint development project was started at the beginning of 2024 to make the Digital HealthcarePaths module available on Enovation’s Cloud platform. This has led to a new user interface that guides the patient even better through the care process.
New user interface
The Enovation Funatic patient portal gradually makes information components available in the portal or app, depending on where the patient is in the care process. All this is based on the automated control of the process. In this way, the patient is provided with information at the right time.
Making new information or an action available within the Digital HealthcarePath leads to a notification via email, SMS, or push message to the patient. When the patient then logs in, a dashboard opens where an action center is displayed. This ensures that the patient immediately sees all pending actions. The Digital HealthcarePath module has different types of actions that can be taken from the action center, such as reading new information, filling out a questionnaire, or reading a new message. With this action center in combination with the notifications sent out, the patient is helped with what is expected of them.
Go-live of pre-operative screening care pathway
Last year, Groene Hart Hospital started digitizing the pre-operative screening. With the activation of the Digital HealthcarePath ‘Preparing for your admission’, 66% of patients no longer need to go to the hospital for pre-operative screening. The information request takes place digitally, after which the anesthesiologist assesses the data and can directly transfer it to the EHR status management. This means an improvement for both patients and healthcare workers.
Next steps
In the coming period, more and more Digital HealthcarePaths will be launched by Groene Hart Hospital. The Pain Center has recently been made available, and the rollout of another 6 Digital HealthcarePaths is planned for this year.

Many care processes have developed out of habit. We provide healthcare in a certain way because that’s how it’s always been done. At the ICT & Health Congress, Thomas Timmers, co-founder of the Patient Journey App, and Fleur Maagdenberg, Business Development at Enovation, discussed how the digitalisation of healthcare can help break these habits. The solution is not to simply add more technology, but to organise healthcare in a smarter, more humane and more appropriate way.

Relocation of the Treant patient portal to a cloud environment also provides other hospitals with new opportunities
The Treant Zorggroep hospitals in Emmen, Stadskanaal and Hoogeveen launched a renewed patient portal at the beginning of September. By moving MijnTreant from a physical server on location to a cloud-based version, the Treant portal is ready for the future.
