Sentinel / Data capture How can data for How can data for quality development and research be retrieved from 12 different Electronic Patient Record systems in Denmark?

Sentinel / Data capture in general practice TriggerDatabase 12 EPR systems (The doctor’s patient file system) -Patient identification -Date - Diagnosis codes -Prescription codes -Disbursement codes -Lab. result codes Data capture project -1 SentinelDatabase Sentinel/Data capture module Sentinel/Data capture module Pop-up screen Data are transferred automatically from the EPR system to the sentinel database The denominator (number of patients) comes from the EPR system

Indicators for diabetes quality of care in general practice Six of the indicators are automatically sent to the national NIP database 1. Prevalence of diabetes in the clinic 2. Foot examination during the last year? 3. Ophthalmologist examination during the last year? 4. Microalbumin in urine? 5. Hb A1c 6. Cholesterol in blood 7. Blood pressure 8. Agreement with the patient of individual treatment goals 9. Reduction of a high level of Hb A1c 10. Reduction of a high blood pressure 11. Reduction of a high level of cholesterol 12. Conversation with the patient about his/her lifestyle

The pop-up screen

Diabetes quality assurance in general practice The doctor only has to register the diagnosis for diabetes T90 in his patient file The doctor only has to register the diagnosis for diabetes T90 in his patient file Once a year a pop-up screen will appear during the patient contact and the doctor has to fill in the pop-up Once a year a pop-up screen will appear during the patient contact and the doctor has to fill in the pop-up All other data are automatically transferred to the database All other data are automatically transferred to the database
