Dutch National Database for Physical Therapy (LDF)
This week, we completed our new integration with the LDF. This integration provides insights into the treatment outcomes of your practice and practitioners. For the Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy (KNGF), this data serves as an essential foundation for scientific research and contributes to the quality and position of physical therapy care.
If your practice participates in the Practice Register of the Kwaliteitshuis Fysiotherapie, it is mandatory to submit data to the LDF. For other practices, participation is optional.
It is mandatory to explicitly ask patients for permission to share their data, including submission to the LDF. This follows the opt-in principle. You can register this consent during the intake or later in the treatment process. Patients can also withdraw their consent at any time. In such cases, no further data from that treatment or patient will be sent to the LDF.
You share individual and aggregated treatment data directly from Flux with the LDF app. The specifications for data submission are updated annually to align with the latest developments in the field. Currently, we support message specification version 10. Patient data that could lead to identification (such as patient ID, birthdate, gender, and postal code) are encrypted into an irreversible pseudonym via Mediquest.
Submitting complete data increases the value of the insights and gives you a clearer understanding of your practice’s performance. The processing report from the LDF helps you improve the quality of your data submission. With just a few clicks, you can see whether your data has been fully accepted, contains rejected fields, or has not been accepted. As a practice owner, you have access to a comprehensive overview of your practice’s submissions, while each practitioner can also view their individual performance report.
The LDF dashboard provides an up-to-date overview of your submitted data, allowing you to analyze your patient population, evaluate treatment outcomes, and compare your results with national benchmarks. The dashboard is updated daily to ensure you always have access to the latest information.
The dashboard is designed to quickly show you where your practice excels and where there is room for improvement, both at the practice and practitioner level, in comparison to national averages.
With this integration, we support your practice in making data-driven decisions and continuously improving the quality of care.
