Digital rescue: District of Kleve revolutionizes patient data transmission!
On May 4, 2025, the Kreis emergency service reached a milestone in digital patient care. Michael Welbers and Bianca Böhm visited the innovative digital data transmission, which enables mobile, digital patient data recording. This change, which has been implemented in Nijmegen in cooperation with the Radboud Universitair in cooperation with the Radboud Universitair Medisch Centrum (Radboud UMC), aims to improve medical care through modern technology.
District Administrator Christoph Gerwers emphasized the motto of the collaboration: "Veiligheid Zonder Borders - Security Without Borders". This initiative not only contributes to the efficiency in the emergency services, but also enables seamless cross -border communication between the medical institutions in Germany and the Netherlands.
digital innovations in the emergency services
The rescue workers in the Kleve district have been using the so -called “Nida Pads” for the digital recording of relevant patient data for several years. With these devices, data such as blood pressure, pulse and ECG recordings are recorded and transmitted directly to the receiving hospital. In addition, visual information is also shared in the form of photos, which makes it much easier to prepare the clinic staff.
Jürgen Baetzen, head of department "emergency services and population protection", emphasizes the benefits of this digitization for patients. The introduction of standardized data records contributes to reducing language barriers and communication problems, a particularly important aspect in cross -border cooperation.
European marriage services and future prospects
In the context of European health care, the digital infrastructure is of crucial importance. The eHealth service infrastructure (EHDSI) enables the safe and efficient exchange of personal health data between EU countries. Citizens can see from the labeling "MyHealth@EU" that they benefit from these services.
Two central electronic health services are introduced in all EU countries: electronic prescriptions and patient short files. The latter contain important health information such as allergies and previous illnesses. This data should be made easily accessible in their own language to optimize the treatment of patients from other EU countries.
In the long term, medical image data, laboratory results and hospital development reports throughout the EU should also be available in the long term. The exchange of this information between the Member States is already open. In order to then effectively use the national eHealth contacts, central performance indicators for monitoring health services in the EU are also determined.The financing of these initiatives is carried out via programs such as "Connecting Europe" and the EU4Health program for the period 2021 to 2027. The monitoring and operational decisions to implement such services are made by the EHEALTH Operational Management Board (EHOMB).
Overall, digitization in healthcare not only sets new standards in the district of Kleve, but also has far -reaching effects on European patient care. The cross -border rescue chain is decisively strengthened by such innovative approaches.
