National Laboratory Surveillance Platform
National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)
RIVM needed a national surveillance capability that could turn fragmented laboratory, epidemiological, and genomic data into a dependable view of infectious-disease risk. The platform unifies cases, cohorts, and DNA sequences for Salmonella today, with an operating model designed to extend to other pathogens. The result is faster, traceable surveillance that public-health teams can trust and scale.

The engagement
The platform gives RIVM a single, controlled flow of information from source systems into national surveillance. Automated processing brings together cases, cohorts, and DNA sequences, reducing manual coordination and improving consistency across teams. Salmonella serves as the first complete pathogen workflow, while standardized controls, documentation, and operational handover make expansion predictable. The platform connects existing on-premises sources with a governed cloud environment, ensuring reliability and traceability remain central as national surveillance needs evolve.
