These are the benefits of mynexuzhealth for patients

The Belgian eHealth landscape consists of a number of secure vaults where medical data is collected and hubs that connect the information. But mynexuzhealth rises above that operation with a central patient record. As a patient, you can thus easily consult your reports, invoices, images and personal data online. In addition to consultation, patients can also actively participate in their own care pathway by sending messages, making appointments, etc. This results in an optimised care experience.

Always in your pocket

We are on the move more than ever. Literally and figuratively. Digitally, a large part of the population is strong. With the central patient file via mynexuzhealth, you can quickly consult your data remotely and at any time.

Even if you look up different healthcare providers - who are not necessarily connected - the file is a handiness. The emergency doctor at UZ Leuven consults historical medical data from another healthcare institution during a misfortune and sees that you have an allergy to a painkiller. All the information moves with you as a patient.

Digital access for others

You do not only consult your own clinical data. But also those of your loved ones who still have to cross a digital threshold. For example, you can access your elderly parents' data and you can request a parent-child link for family members under 15 years old. So you play a more active role in the care process of someone who may not understand it as much themselves. Incidentally, this also increases confidence in our care system. Because after all, two people see more than one alone.

The complexity of ageing

Our elderly are only getting older. A longer life often also means more complex illnesses later in life. With a central patient record, doctors are connected to each other. This also ensures that no unnecessary duplicate examinations are done resulting in a financial benefit and better health of the patient.

Share in your own care process

You play a leading role in your own care process. Even though you are not a doctor or a nurse, you can take a first look at your own results, examinations and imaging. We speak here of control or patient empowerment. Such control is often reassuring for many patients. For instance, you check yourself whether you got a corona infection by looking up the result digitally and you get a better understanding of your blood results. It's best to leave the expert advice to the medical profession in the process, so always consult your treating physician for the interpretation of those results.

Prescription without paper

Remember standing in front of the pharmacy counter with a stack of doctor's prescriptions? That is a thing of the past thanks to electronic prescriptions. The doctor sends them directly to a large database that your pharmacy can access using your ID card. In addition, they will soon also be conveniently listed in order in the mynexuzhealth app. Faster and more efficient.

Patient safety first

The shared patient record is a built-in safety mechanism for patients. For example, every connected doctor or healthcare facility knows that you are allergic to a medical substance, that you underwent hip surgery in 2002 or that you are undergoing a certain treatment. Good for patients who carry a medical backpack and who don't always want or can't tell their full story. With one place where everything comes together, the chances of making mistakes are a lot less.

First-line benefits

GPs, home nurses, physiotherapists,... form the first-line care you can turn to as a patient yourself without a referral. How do they benefit from their version of the application: nexuzhealth pro? Especially the more complete disease picture they get from the centralised medical data streams is a boost. In this sense, primary care can work more efficiently than before. A few years ago, the government decided it wanted to award premiums for GPs who consciously choose the digital path. As a result, the network is now sufficiently large to experience the benefits, both for patients and doctors, and there is no doubt about the continuity of digital care.

A digital move seems easier than a physical one. But it still often creates challenges in the future. Nexuzhealth provides a great start to tackling those challenges, are you ready to dribble along towards a more efficient and digital healthcare future?
