Who has access to your patient record?
Staff at UZ Leuven
Staff at UZ Leuven can view your record, as long as they are directly involved in your care.
Care providers at another nexuzhealth hospital
UZ Leuven has chosen nexuzhealth to manage your central record. Other hospitals may use the same system, so if you are treated in another nexuzhealth hospital, your patient record will be shared with your care providers there. As it is important for your attending doctor to see to all information on your condition, you cannot object to the fact that attending care providers at other nexuzhealth hospitals have access to your record.
The number of nexuzhealth hospitals is still growing. You can find an up-to-date list on www.nexuzhealth.be.
GP or referring care provider
Through secure online applications, your GP or referring care provider (specialist, clinical biologist, dentist and so on) can also view your nexuzhealth patient record at their practice. Your GP automatically has access to your nexuzhealth record, but other referrers need permission to view your record. Using nexuzhealth’s secure online application, you can manage the access your GP and other referrers have to your records.
What are the benefits for you as a patient?
Thanks to the shared record, you no longer need to reiterate which examinations and treatments have already been performed when you visit your GP or other hospitals. As such, your attending physician will always have a full overview of your condition. This helps us provide high-quality care, prevents duplication of examinations and makes referrals between nexuzhealth hospitals much easier.
Personal access to your records
As a patient, you can access your record via www.mynexuzhealth.be or the mynexuzhealth app.

eHealth platform: Your record with other Belgian care providers
The government has launched secure communication channels through which all care providers involved in your care can exchange your medical details at any given time. As such, care providers who do not use nexuzhealth can access your medical details through this platform.
This exchange of health data can only take place with your one-off consent. You can give your consent via:
- the registration desk at UZ Leuven
- online on www.mijngezondheid.belgie.be
More information can be found on www.vlaamspatientenplatform.be.
How can you decide who has access to your record?
Your patient record is only accessed by your attending care providers at UZ Leuven and the nexuzhealth hospitals, for the duration of your treatment. This is part of the overall care package we provide. You cannot object to this level of access.
Your GP automatically has access to your UZLeuven/nexuzhealth record. If you do not want this to be the case, you need to explicitly object.
How?
- at the UZ Leuven registration desk
- via www.mynexuzhealth.be
Other referrers do not have automatic access. If you would like to give them access to your UZ Leuven/nexuzhealth record, you need to provide consent.
How?
- directly at the referrer’s practice
- at the UZ Leuven registration desk
- via mynexuzhealth
If you are happy for UZ Leuven to make your record available to other care providers under the eHealth scheme, you need to provide one-off consent. These care providers will also only be able to access your record if you are currently being treated by them.
How?
- at the UZ Leuven registration desk
- via www.mijngezondheid.belgie.be
You can deny healthcare providers access to your file. We call this the 'exclusion' of a healthcare provider. Read all about exclusions on the nexuzhealth website.
