Radboudumc Transmural Knowledge and Innovation Center

Patients are increasingly treated in different settings by different healthcare providers at the same time, or consecutively. However, many ailments (including important chronic diseases) are treated almost exclusively in primary care (for instance Type 2 Diabetes, COPD). This means that researchers and health policy makers are increasingly interested in morbidity data from general practice. Because of our extensive quality control and contacts with General Practitioners who register data, we are able to create high quality specific data ready to be used in any project. The Technology Center Health Data is part of the Radboudumc Transmural Knowledge and Innovation Center, which provides a wider knowledge and logistical infrastructure, supporting innovation and research bridging the hospital and healthcare outside the hospital walls, including advice on intervention studies.
 

Expertise and services

We provide support in access to primary care data, including all practical and scientific issues related to this such as data storage and privacy issues. Important topics are the connection of primary care data with other (research or hospital) data, extraction and coding of data, as well as the use and interpretation of primary care data. We take care of the maintaince of FaMe-net, a high-quality GP-database with morbidity, health care utilization and medication data, available through the Digital Research Environment (DRE). Our Technology Center includes experts on various fields, including General Practitioners with hands-on knowledge of use of GP-data.
 

What do we offer?

Our Technology Center employs the infrastructure of the Department of Primary and Community Care and, in the near future, other departments of the Radboud University medical center who also have experience working with routine primary care morbidity data.
  • We help you in extracting, storing, linking, analyzing and interpreting data from general practices in the region derived from various general practice information systems. Our FaMe-net database contains data on more than 30.000 patients over a period of over 20 years. These basic primary care data can be used for power calculations, ‘big data’ analyses and linking the data with other sources - including hospital information systems as well as chapters of PhD-theses on a wide variation of diseases and health complaints (also to be used by PhD’s in specialist care topics) and separate student projects.
  • We have extensive and specific experience concerning the practicalities of conducting observational research in primary care and public health routine data; for instance on privacy issues, how to extract routine data from electronic patients records of general practitioners and how to collect additional patient-related data outside the hospital.
  • Our technical and  primary care content experts are very experienced in the use and interpretation of GP-data for specific projects.

Collaborations

  • Research theme Healthcare Improvement Science
  • Other Radboudumc Technology Centers’s including Clinical Studies, Data Stewardship, Health Economics, Biostatics, and Biobank
  • Departments of the Radboud university medical center, including Primary and Community Care, IQ Healthcare, Health Evidence, Geriatrics and Anaesthesiology (Palliative Care)
