Use of the mediplus patient database in healthcare research.

Abstract
Public health systems require fast and precise analyses of physicians' day-to-day diagnoses and therapy behavior regarding qualitative, safety or economical aspects. A partnership between physicians in practices and a database organization (IMS Health, Frankfurt, Germany) which has been in existence for more than 10 years has developed a procedure for documenting various types of studies with regard to diagnosis and therapy behavior. This endeavor has facilitated scientific progress by providing precise analytical information and guidelines.
