The Royal Dutch Medical Association check (RDMA)

Reliability and professionalism are important in healthcare. This is essential for the trust of patients and for the integrity of healthcare institutions. A fundamental role in all of this is the RDMA check.

Reducing risks with the RDMA check

By verifying authorisations and registrations of medical specialists within the Netherlands, you reduce several risks. For example:

  • Medical errors
  • Legal complications
  • Loss of trust among patients
  • Reputational damage

When providing quality care, it is important that someone who is registered in the RDMA can prove that they have the right knowledge and expertise. An RDMA check ensures that all medical specialists meet the Dutch requirements within the healthcare sector.

Enforcing these rules results in high-quality standards, protecting patients and protecting your organisation.

The RDMA check is an indispensable fundamental process to guarantee the highest quality within the healthcare sector. Medical specialists who are registered can be employed by healthcare institutions with peace of mind.

These are the biggest advantages of the RDMA check:

  • Patients are protected from incompetent care performed by unauthorised professionals
  • Protecting the reputation of the healthcare institution
  • Preventing serious legal disputes

DISA takes the complexity of RDMA checks off your hands, so your healthcare organisation can focus on delivering excellent care to your patients. Our approach allows clients to comply with legal requirements without compromising their operational efficiency.

We do this by:

  • Performing a quick verification process of registration status. We aim to complete a check within 48 hours
  • Checking the data against the client’s specified information
  • Checking whether the candidate’s specialism is known in the RDMA and BIG register

The RDMA check is normally intended for specialists who have completed their training; if someone is in training, we can still check and will complete the check with a note.

The RDMA publishes licence restrictions in Medical Contact. These are often suspensions or deletions of a registration as a result of a court ruling. Current professional restrictions are indicated in the BIG register.

The indicated restrictions may hinder a specialist in certain medical actions. It is important to recognise when a specialist is operating outside his/her limits. By strictly checking for this, you contribute to the safety and quality of patient care.

An RDMA check can be integrated with another screening from DISA. The process of the RDMA check will be simplified and accelerated this way. Clients are checked through an up-to-date register that contains the status and information of medical specialists.

An RDMA check is a standard integrated screening by DISA. This way, the check cannot be forgotten, it saves operations for your healthcare organisation, and our automated software verifies all information at the source. Your organisation is assured of integrity this way. If the right documents are provided, the RDMA check can be completed within 48 hours.

Customer privacy and protection are taken extremely seriously at DISA. All screening checks are carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This ensures that all personal data processed will be treated with great care and security. We ensure that all our procedures are as transparent as possible and offer full disclosure to our clients. To dig deeper into this, security and privacy are of utmost importance at DISA.

We believe it is important that:

  • Data is protected (against unauthorised access)
  • Provide transparency about data processing
  • Ensure privacy and integrity of all parties involved
  • Put confidentiality first in this process

We highly value a secure environment, which is why we insure:
The security of personal data and all screening processes have the highest priority at DISA. DISA’s International screening software is designed with privacy and security by design. In addition, DISA is ISO 27001 and 9001 certified and holds an ISAE 3000 statement.

We also ensure legal risk mitigation:
DISA operates under the gelling laws and regulations related to screening processes, such as the GDPR and other relevant privacy laws.
