LSP (National Switch Point)
The LSP (National Switch Point) ensures fast and reliable electronic exchange of medical data. Healthcare providers, such as a general practitioners or pharmacies, can connect their computer system to the secured network of the LSP.
Permission
If you have given permission for this, your GP and / or pharmacy will inform the LSP that your medical information has been made available. Other healthcare providers can then request your current medical information. This is only allowed if it is necessary for your treatment. This way, caregivers quickly have the right information and can give you the right care; also in the evenings and on weekends.
Who uses the LSP?
Currently, GPs, “huisartsenpost” (GPs at the after hour clinics), pharmacists, hospital pharmacists and medical specialists can use the LSP to share medical data of patients. Youth health care organizations (JGZ), such as those offered at health centers and in schools, use the LSP to transfer files to other JGZ organizations.
