General practice registration networks in the Netherlands: a brief report
In the Netherlands, several general practice registrations exist. Groups
of general practitioners register elements of patient care according to
agreed-upon criteria, and these data are collected in a central database.
By means of a questionnaire the authors interviewed the managers of all
nine computerized registration networks extensively about the
possibilities and limitations of their registration. In addition,
respondents answered some questions with data from the central database of
their network. Various items are collected by nearly all the registration
networks, while other items are collected by only one network. Answering
questions with data from the central database turned out to be difficult.
Organization and manpower are the main obstacles
