DESCRIPTION:  The Digest of International Databases, originally developed by ISPOR in 2008, provides a summary of key attributes of health care databases around the world. In order for the Digest to remain a useful resource to researchers, the information provided must be accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive. The ISPOR Special Interest Group (SIG) on Digest of Databases is working to improve the format, search, and print functions, while also working to ensure that information is up-to-date and the list of Databases is comprehensive. The SIG is also working to provide student-specific information, such as discounted costs. The audience will be invited to comment and provide feedback on future directions and our progress to date, which includes revised Digest Domains, an updated list of Databases, incorporation of peer review, and revised processes for keeping the information current.
