Nexuzhealth expands into French-speaking Belgium and rolls out its centralised electronic health record in Wallonia and Brussels

NSI, also part of the Cegeka group, supports the local implementation

Healthcare providers and healthcare institutions in Wallonia and Brussels will soon have access to an integrated care approach designed to connect local hospitals, primary care and patients. For the roll-out of its centralised electronic health record (EHR) in Wallonia and Brussels, Nexuzhealth is working with NSI. Both companies are part of the Cegeka group and combine their expertise to support healthcare institutions in French-speaking Belgium.

More than an IT project

Nexuzhealth Hospital, Nexuzhealth's centralised EHR, brings information and processes within the hospital together and improves collaboration between the healthcare providers involved. Introducing it takes more than technical know-how: healthcare institutions need to make choices about how they support patients and staff, how they set up the EHR and how they organise existing workflows. For the roll-out in Wallonia and Brussels, Nexuzhealth is working with NSI, an IT company with strong roots in French-speaking healthcare that is also part of the Cegeka group.

This joint approach aims to help build an integrated digital healthcare landscape across Belgium. By expanding into French-speaking Belgium, Nexuzhealth and NSI build on what has already been achieved in Flanders. As a result, hospitals, primary care providers and patients across the country can share information more easily and work together across organisations and levels of care.

In Wallonia and Brussels, the digital transformation of healthcare is gathering pace. Hospitals are looking to bring data, healthcare professionals and every step of the patient's care journey closer together. Interoperability, continuity of care and secure data handling are becoming increasingly important.

"Hospitals in Wallonia and Brussels need an electronic health record that fits the way they work: their teams, their processes and their care network. We have been working with them for years and know their challenges well, from continuity of care to the protection of patient data. By combining our expertise with that of Nexuzhealth, we can give them access to a proven platform, with local support at every step," says Manuel Pallage, CEO of NSI Group.

Experience from Flanders, now in Wallonia and Brussels

Nexuzhealth currently connects more than 1.75 million patients with over 40 healthcare institutions, 3,000 general practitioners and 115,000 healthcare providers. Hospitals in Wallonia and Brussels can now benefit from that experience too.

"This step brings us closer to our ambition of supporting healthcare organisations across Belgium with integrated digital solutions. A successful digital transformation needs strong technology, but also a good understanding of the local healthcare context and support close to the customer. Together with NSI, we can offer hospitals in Wallonia and Brussels that combination."

A joint model for implementation and support

Nexuzhealth is responsible for the EHR, the further development of the platform and the related clinical and product expertise. As the local implementation partner, NSI supports French-speaking healthcare institutions in introducing and integrating the platform. Both parties remain involved in supporting the healthcare institution after go-live.

"We want hospitals to be able to rely on both Nexuzhealth's expertise and NSI's local presence throughout the entire life cycle of the platform."
