XDS in the Netherlands 

In recent months we have been asked many times which hospitals in the Netherlands use IHE XDS/XCA to share and exchange health information. Despite earlier efforts done for specific health information exchange use-cases such as www.oncologienetwerken.nl, no complete overview exists.

Today we are launching a new (OpenStreet)Map showing all connections between Dutch care healthcare providers that use an XDS-based infrastructure, and the connections among them.

After opening the map you'll see a side menu that includes a "layer" icon. When selected it shows a "Data browser". To see the connections of a hospital click the "eye" icon in front of its name.

                                                                                                         Data Browser

To increase visibility you may deselect "Zorginstelling" after selecting one or more hospitals.

Disclaimers

Connections between healthcare providers visible through this map are created based on information from the various XCA(-I) gateways in use by hospitals. The amount of data exchanged through these connections is NOT reflected in the map. Hence, we ask viewers to be careful when referring to this map in combination with making any form of qualifying statements!

Even though the utmost care has been taken to create this map, information may be missing, incomplete or incorrect.

Future maintenance of this map will be done by RSO Nederland.
