English Abstract Based on a request of the "Inspectie voor de
Gezondheidszorg" LGM (laboratory for Medicines and Medical Devices of the
RIVM) and TNO evaluated the requirements for and feasibility of a system for
notification and medical vigilance. A prerequisit for this study was the
optimum use of existing databases and experiences. The evaluation resulted
in a concept based on the "multi layer networking" principle. The concept
makes optimum use of the existing systems with minimum expenses. In the
analyses the obvious necessity to be in line with European developments has
been a major item. For this reason intensive participation in European
developments through specific experts is considered
essential.
