IGJ risk signalling system (IRiS dashboards)

This algorithm creates signals based on data from and about organisations we supervise. The IGJ uses these signals to assess whether more investigation of this organisation is needed or which topics to discuss when visiting this organisation. Signals are created per sector.

Goal and impact

Purpose

The IGJ needs to make targeted choices in supervising organisations. The algorithm helps to weigh data from different sources more objectively and structurally in these choices. This makes supervision more effective and efficient.

Impact

These choices may include, for example, which supervisory activity we will do, which topics will be on the agenda in a supervisory activity or at which organisation the supervisory activity takes place.

Considerations

The size of the number of organisations we monitor and the quantity and diversity of data requires an algorithm to more quickly spot salient features in the data.

Human intervention

The algorithm supports the inspector to factor the data into choices, e.g. which supervisory activity will we do, which topics will be on the agenda in a supervisory activity or at which organisation the supervisory activity will take place. The final decision for these choices, always lies with the inspector.

Risk management

The algorithm is regularly discussed with inspectors for usability, and adjusted where necessary.

Legal basis

The IGJ oversees the various healthcare sectors.

Elaboration on impact assessments

In the case of an algorithm with a potential privacy risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, a DPIA was carried out.

Operations

Data

Miscellaneous, mainly data from reports, previous inspections, patient experiences, care content indicators and business information

Technical design

A computational rule is applied to variables to make outliers visible by a signal. This signal depends, among other things, on the sector, the data used and variables in the data.

  • The algorithm in the software recognises and anonymises personal data and other sensitive information in documents. Governments regularly publish information related to the drafting and implementation of their policies (e.g. based on the Woo). This tool is used to render sensitive data unrecognisable in the process.
