Global medical file (DMG)¶

The global medical file (DMG) is held by one general practitioner per patient. WideCare asks the register who holds it, and notifies the mutuality when you take it on or renew it.

You need your eHealth identity first: see eHealth identity and eID sign-in.

Ask who holds the DMG¶

1. Open Practice → Global Medical File → Consultations and click New, or click the DMG button on the patient card.

2. Under Question, choose the Resident (the patient) and check the Request Date and the Practitioner certificate. Without a NISS, fill in the OA code and the Membership number.

3. Click Ask the register.

The answer shows at the top:

• DMG held by the holder, with their NIHII;

• or The register holds no Global Medical File for this resident.

Under Answer: DMG held, the Holder contact when the holder is in your contacts, the dates, Fee paid and Mutuality (answer). Ask again asks the register once more.

Notify a DMG¶

1. Open Practice → Global Medical File → Notifications and click New.

2. Under Declaration, choose the Resident (the patient), check the Nomenclature code — it proposes 102771, the yearly fee for managing the DMG — and the Encounter Date.

3. Click Notify and confirm.

The notification shows Accepted, or Refused / error with the reason under the form.
