Understand the route before you use it.

Who is responsible?

Practical tips

Use the route with care.

A good template becomes useful when roles, context and review moments remain clear.

01

Start with one clear start date

A Bloeiindex Flow can plan milestones relatively. The personal date belongs only in the protected execution environment.

02

Do not record medical details

Academy describes process knowledge. Medical information stays with authorised health and occupational professionals.

03

Review every handover

Check who owns the next step, which information is needed and what does not need to be shared.

04

Always check the current source

Timelines, exceptions and forms can change. UWV remains authoritative for current requirements.
