Starting in 2009, the first ever Belgian nationwide data collection network using routine data extracted from primary care EPR (upload method) has been built from scratch. The network also uses a manual web-based data collection method. This paper compares these two methods by analysing missing and most recent values for certain parameters. We collected data from 4954 practices, pertaining to 29,180 patients. Mean values for the most recent parameters were similar regardless of which data collection method was used. Many missing recent values (>46%) were found for all of the parameters when using the upload method. It seems that, in Belgium, uploading routine data from primary care EPR on a large scale is suitable and allows the collection of chronological retrospective data. However, the method still requires major, carefully controlled improvements.
从2009年开始，比利时首个利用从基层医疗电子病历中提取的常规数据（上传方法）构建的全国性数据收集网络从零开始建成。该网络还采用基于网络的手动数据收集方法。本文通过分析某些参数的缺失值和最新值来比较这两种方法。我们收集了来自4954家医疗机构、涉及29180名患者的数据。无论使用哪种数据收集方法，最新参数的平均值都相似。使用上传方法时，所有参数都发现有许多缺失的最新值（>46%）。在比利时，大规模上传基层医疗电子病历中的常规数据似乎是合适的，并且可以收集按时间顺序排列的回顾性数据。然而，该方法仍需要进行重大的、严格控制的改进。
