Goal and impact

The algorithm supports the assessment of driving suitability. The medical data from a health declaration and/or medical report are checked against the Regulations on Requirements of Fitness 2000. Based on the medical data, the algorithm determines whether someone is referred for further medical examination or whether a Declaration of Fitness (with restrictions) can be issued. If the medical data do not meet all the conditions, a manual processing by an employee follows. A decision declaring someone unfit is always made manually by a staff member.

Considerations

By using the algorithm, applications are processed faster and human errors are avoided. A decision declaring someone unfit is always made manually by an employee.

Human intervention

If the medical data meet all conditions for automatic referral or registration of a Certificate of Eligibility, the outcome of the algorithm leads to the automated sending of a referral or decision. If the medical data do not meet all the conditions, a manual processing by a staff member follows. A decision declaring someone unfit is always made manually by a staff member.

Risk management

If there is an error in the algorithm then wrong referrals can be made or decisions made. To prevent this, CBR has taken measures. Automated and manual checks are made on the correct functioning of the algorithm based on data queries and validation of results. Partial observations are carried out, through sampling on completed files, to check the correctness of the algorithm. There is an escalation procedure to detect and fix any error as soon as possible. Citizens also have the option of objecting to a decision taken at https://www.cbr.nl/nl/veelgestelde-vragen/hoe-maak-ik-bezwaar-tegen-de-maatregel-of-het-besluit.htm.

Legal basis

The Regulation on Requirements of Fitness 2000 lists the requirements a citizen must meet to be eligible for a Certificate of Fitness.
