General description of the application HD4DP v1

HD4DP v1 ("healthdata.be for data providers") is a local application accessible via web browser developed by healthdata.be (Sciensano) and installed at the site of the data provider (healthcare organizations). 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.

Following options are available:

Conflict mode: what need to be done in case of conflict
Conflict master: is the data from the new registration of from the record in the database saved in case of conflict
Ignore duplicate records
Autosubmit: send the data automatically for processing in HD4RES
Validation: what need to be done after validation the registration:
- None: only the registrations without errors will be saved
- Save on validations: Save the registrations when there are validation errors upon uploading
- Validate all: Only perform commit if non of its records have (errors or) validation errors
