Matthias Harder's Company Details

In cooperation with the Research Unit for General Practice at the University of Southern Denmark, DAK-E – the Danish Quality Unit of General Practice – has developed an IT programme – called Sentinel Data Capture – that automatically collects patient data from the GP's electronic health record system. Sentinel Data Capture is designed to collect key data as the data enter into the GP's electronic health record system. The collected data are prescribed drugs, National Health Service disbursement codes, laboratory analysis results and ICPC diagnoses. The data are stored in DAMD – Danish General Practice Database. Apart from his/her daily work the only additional activity the participating GP has to do is to assign an ICPC diagnosis code to all face to face patient contacts. DAK-E develops the feedback quality reports which are generated individually for each general practice on the basis of the accumulated data in the DAMD database. The reports are presented online and the GP accesses his/her reports via his/her professional digital signature. This admittance procedure ensures fully confidentiality as the GP's reports only will be accessible to him/her. The reports on chronic diseases include a benchmark section which enables the GP to compare his own quality with that of other GPs on a local and a national scale.
