Heute die Möglichkeiten schaffen, um morgen die richtigen Antworten zu bekommen: Anmerkungen zum MIND3

Abstract

With the implementation of the updated minimum emergency data set MIND3 in 2011, the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI) created a simplified and therefore more powerful tool for supraregional acquisition of prehospital emergency medical data and quality management. While discussing the adaptation, the working group of the Austrian Society for Anesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Care Medicine (ÖGARI) raised the question for further usability of the data set, e.g. linkage to other health records or use for scientific purposes. Most important to achieve this goal is the possibility of data association and matching data sets. Data privacy protection laws prohibit use of individual patient data for register purposes. Although being a good tool for overall quality management, MIND3 especially fails in questions where it is crucial to handle an individual as a consistent entity without disclosing personally identifiable information. Future application spectrum seems to be limited. To facilitate higher performance, it is urgently necessary to define the further purposes of patient data recording and to develop safe technological solutions. Possible implementations on privacy protection politics have to be identified and discussed
