MedicineInsight
MedicineInsight is a large-scale primary care database of longitudinally de-identified electronic health records (EHRs) in Australia. The MedicineInsight programme collates routinely collected EHR data from clinical information systems (CISs) from consenting general practices that have agreed to provide data on an ongoing basis. MedicineInsight was established by NPS MedicineWise in 2011 to support quality improvement in Australian primary care and the post-market surveillance of medicines. MedicineInsight data are now being used to support a wide range of activities, including observational and interventional research.
