Estimated percentage of the population covered by the data source in the catchment area

22,5%; if we consider East Flanders (our complete province) as our catchment area, the denominator is 1.572.002 inhabitants. There will be patients in our dataset from other provinces in Belgium - since we, for example, have a hospital campus in another province, but the majority of our patients will originate from East Flanders (Oost-Vlaanderen).

Description of the population covered by the data source in the catchment area whose data are not collected (e.g., people who are registered only for private care)

We must mention that this percentage is based on our current location in Aalst. On the first of January 2025 our merge with the other large hospital in Aalst will be completed and the OLV hospital will officially become "AZORG", which will increase the population percentage. Next to our hospital there are also several other general hospitals in Flanders, which explains why only about 1/4 of the entire population is present in our database.
