FARES

FARES is responsible for coordinating tuberculosis prevention and surveillance activities in the Walloon Region and the Brussels-Capital Region. It works with various social and healthcare stakeholders on projects to improve the care and follow-up of tuberculosis patients and to organise screening among people at risk. Members of its service can use our application in the field when meeting their public or during medical appointments.

A custom tool for specific needs

In 2019, FARES was looking for ways to move away from a Microsoft Access database and give its staff a working tool better suited to the realities of their fieldwork. During the call for tenders, Yelido proposed a custom solution that was cheaper than the off-the-shelf solutions offered by our competitors. After several discussions, we started development, constantly checking back that the various features matched the team’s expectations. Two months later, the Tuber platform was born, usable from any computer with no installation. For more than five years now, Tuber has enabled FARES to manage tuberculosis cases in Wallonia and Brussels.

Features that fit and can evolve

This tool, intended for the operators who consult and complete medical records, and which makes it possible to quickly generate reports for the funding bodies, has evolved since then in line with new legislation, with the aim of continuously adapting its ergonomics and the information available.

Its main features are:

Full audit trail of medical records
Custom reporting on case follow-up
A notification system for users
Management of the tuberculosis register by year
Centralisation of the documents related to a patient

A tool for administrative and medical data

The form contains all of the patient’s administrative data as well as information about the tuberculosis case or cases detected: location, treatments, follow-up, tests, etc. The register of all records by year was set up in TUBER to make completing a patient record easier and better. The exported data is then processed by the supervisory or funding bodies.

Like all our applications, it handles different types of users so that data is secured according to each person’s role. It also complies with GDPR standards for the protection of patients’ personal data.

The cloud, for non-profits too

As a non-profit organisation, FARES benefits from SOCIALware, a public digital programme that funds modern IT infrastructure. Yelido set it up in the Amazon cloud and has since been helping FARES reduce its costs.
