Declarations
:
: As part of the BELHES, the HuBiHIS project was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the University Hospital Ghent (registration number B670201834895). For the NAMED project, data linkage, relying on the secondary use of the Belgian HIS data, administrative, GIS and monitoring data did not require any approval from an Ethics committee. An application to the Sector Committee Statistics has been submitted and approved (see Decision STAT n°02/2018 from 19/01/2018). Both the NAMED and the HuBiHIS project were carried out in compliance with the European and national data protection requirements.
