Data Management and Analysis Information and data on health treatment processes, specific treatments, diseases and the individual´s perception of health as well as medical conditions do not only support health care for the individual but, as a collection of data, also contribute to gathering and verifying existing knowledge on how to improve health care for the general public within the scope of health services research.
So for example, heterogeneous data is to be gathered from different data sources, formatted, presented, and evaluated for a comprehensive cancer register. Thereby, a particular role is played by the geographical reference of the data and the possibility to spontaneously phrase and execute analyses if necessary. For this reason, OFFIS develops data-security-compliant basic technologies for the integration, quality management, and further explorative analysis of data, and converts these into concrete application projects for care research – but equally for usage outside of health care. The search in unstructured, often medial data, that plays an important role especially for personal assistance functions in daily life, becomes more important.
