Project on aggregation of adverse events

In 2012 a limited use case was carried out in which five hospitals participated on a voluntary basis.
These hospitals have all incident reports from 3 random months to the deepest level
coded according to the International Classification for Patient Safety of the WHO (ICPS).

After the experience with the limited usecase with 5 hospitals, the next step is a broad aggregation of
adverse events in Belgium under the motto: 'aggregation of adverse events to learn'.

Design of the project

Principal inclusion and exclusion criteria
Principal inclusion criteria	All incident notifications coded by using the ICPS of the WHO

Data transfer frequency
Data transfer frequency	Unknown
Other frequency: specification	Not known yet, can be defined after discussion with healthdata.be

Method of data transfer
Data transfer method(s)	Web application (eg. online registration form, upload) Web service (system to system transfer)
Other method of data transfer: specification	A control program (parser) was developed by Calidos. This allows hospitals to validate their ICPS XML file. For this purpose, the hospital offers its XML file to the control program that verifies its conformity and bundles the results in a report. This report is fed back to the hospital and states the conformity percentage and the detail of the non-conformities.
