THE DIGEST OF INTERNATIONAL DATABASES

The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) has developed an electronic index (Digest) of key attributes of health care databases around the world available at the ISPOR website, which is accessible to the public. The digest is grouped by country and allows key word searches and searches by type of database.

The ISPOR DIGEST OF INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CARE DATABASES will be an invaluable source of information for health care outcomes researchers. The Digest not only benefits your organization and outcomes researchers around the world; but also health care decision makers and patients who will ultimately benefit from the information derived from this research.

This Digest is an initiative of the ISPOR Retrospective Database Special Interest Group. For more information about this ISPOR Special Interest Group, see: http://www.ispor.org/sigs/retrospective_db.asp

If you organization has a health care database and would like your database included in the ISPOR Digest of International Databases, please complete the questionnaire at: Health Care Database Key Attributes Questionnaire. 

We encourage you to email us at databasedigest@ispor.org with contact information of health care database organizations so that we may contact them to participate in this new initiative.
