About DigiH

DigiH is a digital healthcare finder and healthcare referrer with which patients, general practitioners and specialists can search for and refer to (specialized) primary healthcare providers in the Netherlands.

DigiH consists of the DigiH Care Finder, an intuitive care finder for patients and carers looking for adequate primary care services and/or care aids; the DigiH Care Referrer, a cloud-based search engine for referrers, with timely follow-up; and DigiH+, a search engine integrated in the EHR of the referrer to realize a complete referral with only 4 mouse clicks.

What problems does DigiH solve?

Very often, the general practitioner or medical specialist still has to fill in a handwritten authorisation in order to realize a referral. These authorisations then can get lost, or left lying around, resulting in unnecessary postponement of the treatment. Or the patient does not end up with the right care provider. DigiH undermines those problems and realizes the right care in the right place. 

Who does DigiH help?

With DigiH, patients and carers can search for (specialized) paramedics, primary care providers and care (help) shops throughout the Netherlands. General practitioners and medical specialists can search and refer with DigiH, directly from their own EHR.

In addition, DigiH offers professional associations and quality networks the possibility to share the specializations, accreditations and expulsions of members in real time.

How does DigiH improve healthcare?

DigiH makes care more effective by preventing referrals to first-line care providers who do not have the relevant expertise and providing timely follow-up to indicated treatment, saving healthcare and social costs.

What makes DigiH unique?

DigiH does not charge referrers. The primary care provider is charged only 50 euros per year, without registration costs. DigiH is also based on modern, cloud based technology, meaning that the number of simultaneous users is unlimited and there is no server overload possible.
