Clinical patient registries
Registry data may be used in a variety of ways. Most importantly, the registries provide valuable information on actual clinical practice and help to determine the unmet needs for specialized care and high-tech medical interventions.They can also be applied for patient routing and as a rationale for shaping government drug supply policies, therefore contributing to better care and quality of life of patients.
The databases that draw on information from patient registers are widely used for pharmacoeconomic analysis, comparative assessment of treatment efficacy and estimation of the needs for costly drug therapies. In addition to that, clinical registries facilitate recruitment of patients for clinical trials and are a potentially useful tool for Market Access.
