General description of the application HD4DP v1

HD4DP v1 ("healthdata.be for data providers") is a local application that has been developed by healthdata.be (Sciensano). The application is installed on the IT infrastructure of the data provider, i.e. your organization or your partner's organization, and is accessible via a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Chrome.

This application allows the data provider to extract data from the primary system and map that data into one or more data collections (if possible). Clinical information that cannot be provided by the primary systems can be provided manually in the ‘prefilled’ form view of the Data Collection Definition (DCD). The (form view of the) Data Collection Definitions (DCDs) are managed centrally via a metadata catalogue.
