iCAREdata: Improving Care And Research Electronic Data Trust Antwerp
- 1. University of Antwerp, Centre for General Practice
Description
The main aim of the iCAREdata-project (Improving Care And Research Electronic Data Trust Antwerp) is to develop a central, clinical research database in out-of-hours (OOH) care in Belgium.
With this project, the research team of CHA-ELIZA is developing a state-of-the-art database, in sync with the most recent legal, ethical and privacy aspects present in Belgium and Europe.
One crucial aspect of the project is the unique way it links data between different health care services. Subsequently, we are able to study the chain of care that patients follow in OOH care. This gives a broader view on what is exactly happening with patients suffering an unplanned medical problem.
Weekly results of aggregated data are available at https://icare.uantwerpen.be (Dutch and English)
