patient identificator

National registry ID of the patient

Help

Unique identifier of the national registry (nn.nn.nn-nnn.nn). Can be found on the back of the patient's identity card and starts with year of birth (yy) / month (mm) / day (dd). This information is never transferred to Sciensano. In case the patient does not have a national registry id or the id is not known, an identifier can be automatically generated based on the 'name', 'first name', 'date of birth' and 'sex'. In this case, these four fields are mandatory.

CSV column name:

patient_id

Required:

true

Validation

The validity of the national register number is checked with the mod97 check.

Internal patient ID

Help

This field can be used to enter an internal ID or reference number. It is available for internal use only and is not transferred to Healthdata. If there is an integration between HD4DP and your organisation's patient administration system, additional patient identification information such as date of birth, sex and SSIN can be automatically enriched based on this internal patient ID. Please do not encode the social security identification number (SSIN) in this field. The SSIN must be encoded in the field 'National registry ID of the patient'.

Generated

Help

The patient_id|generated column can be set to 'TRUE' for an automatically generated patient_id.This column should only be added in case the patient_id is empty. If the column is set to 'TRUE', a patient_id is automatically generated based on the name, first name, date of birth and sex of the patient.

Antimicrobial resistance microorganism1

Help

Susceptibility to a number of antimicrobial resistance “markers” and/or the presence of resistance mechanism(s) should be registered for selected multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO). Marker selection is based on MDRO-marker combinations from national NSIH-AMR surveillances. See the latest version of the NSIH-BSI protocol for MDRO-marker combinations for which registration is requested.
