Data Providers have the possibility to send TDI data to Sciensano in 2 ways:

METHOD 1: Manually via a simple web interface

This system is designed for centers that

  • do not have their own system for recording patient data, or
  • are unable to adapt their system to the requirements of the TDI system

The service of healthdata.be has been requested to set up the HD LimeSurvey for TDI, to replace the previous online form, i.e. the registration module that was developed by ICT Sciensano. This module is planned to be decommissioned by the end of October 2023.

Access the web interface by entering the following URL in your internet browser: https://lime.healthdata.be.

You will be redirected to the government's Federal Authentication Service (FAS), where you can log in with multiple digital keys with eID or digital identity.

If you choose to connect via itsme, you will need to enter your cell phone number.

Follow the instructions on your mobile device via the itsme application.

Once you have gone through the itsme login procedure, you need to select the green confirmation button (available in FR and NL) in the screen below to access the Sciensano environment.

NLFR

Select the green confirmation button ("Profiel bevestigen" or "Confirmer le profil") to log in.

You will land on the LimeSurvey page where you need to select the desired survey.

You will be asked to enter a token in order to open the survey. If you didn’t received the token or have forgotten it, please email TDI@sciensano.be for assistance.

Select the language in which you want to complete the survey and click on Next (Continuer / Ga verder).

The survey appears on your screen. (see image further below).Complete the survey by selecting the applicable answers.

When you need to interrupt completing the survey, you can finish it later (1). Retrieve it at a point of time that suits you (2).

When the survey is completed and you are satisfied with the answers, you can send it by clicking on the Send button (Envoyer / Verzenden).

METHOD 2: By batch, via the deposit module.

The deposit module is a secure e-mail box, in the form of a standardised annual data file.

This system is intended for centres that have a patient registration system that is fully adapted to the requirements of the TDI system. The centre is then responsible for ensuring that the registration system is compliant and operational, as well as for all aspects of the TDI system.


For any question in regards method 2, you can contact the Sciensano researchers at the following address:
