The need for Integration

Quadratic Complexity, very

bad long-term manageability

Each and every

connection is a different

project

Enormous

dependency on the

availability of

people

“in the know”

A “creeping curse”: first you integrate 2 systems,

then 3, then 4,… then you’re in trouble! → plan

ahead for structured integration!

CoZo ( Collaboratief ZorgPlatform )

• The ‘Collaboratief ZorgPlatform’ is a collaboration initiative

between 25 hospitals and general practitioners

organizations.

• It is organized by the Department of Health and the national

‘eHealth’ project.

• This initiative emerged from a collaboration between

hospitals in the Ghent area ( GZO : Gents Ziekenhuis Overleg)

• Cozo allows a simple and quick overview of past and current

patient letters, patient reports, laboratory reports, digital

images, results of medical procedures

CoZo ( Collaboratief ZorgPlatform ) development

• The source of the information sent to CoZo is ADT related

data (Admission, Discharge and Transfert ) presented in HL7

standard.

• The messages sent to CoZo must be in a Kmehr format.

• The format and structure of the Kmehr messages is defined in

the ‘Cookbook’.

9

CoZo ( Collaboratief ZorgPlatform ) development

• Use cases

• Initially provide historical patient information over the last 3 years (ADT movements over the last 3 years).

• Sending of the day-to-day ADT messages.

• Initially provide the reference data (Ward information, Service, Healthcare party, Campus).

• Sending updates of the reference data.

• Sending the ‘ informed patient consent’ and maintaining this information.

• Reception of requests for ‘extended patient information’ and specificrequests on reference data. As a response the actual reference data is returned to CoZo.

• Pass-through function for all requests of data that are not ADT specific but reside in other hospital systems (e.g. C2M).

CoZo ( Collaboratief ZorgPlatform ) Project findings

• All of the functionalities requested were handled with

Ensemble, so no additional tools or programming required.

• Most of the work is put in analyzing the source data and

mapping the HL7 format of the data with the Kmehr format.

• Ensemble facilitates easy testing by providing a detailed

overview of the flow of messages.

• A lot of alerting is out of the box, still additional alerting can

be easily integrated when requested.
