Maccabitech Clinical Database Research Services is a world-class team of medical informatics professionals providing clinical database research services and clinical data solutions. The team was originally formed to develop and use the MHS clinical database in order to evaluate and improve the delivery of care to MHS's 2 million members. The team has been dedicated to doing so on an ongoing basis, and over the years has gained unique experience and expertise in performing highly reliable and insightful database research. Today, the Maccabitech clinical database research team draws on these qualities and on the strength and resources of Maccabi Healthcare Services to deliver high quality database research services to clients worldwide.
Maccabi Healthcare Services, Israel's most advanced health fund, provides comprehensive medical coverage to 2 million members (25% of the country's total population). Maccabi has long been recognized, both in Israel and abroad, as a unique and innovative health care system, leading the way in many areas including cutting edge medical technology, comprehensive and integrated computerized information systems, cost-effective management, and sophisticated evaluation tools.
Maccabi's patient database is the key asset utilized by the Maccabitech clinical database research services team. It is derived from a central electronic medical record, containing longitudinal data on a stable population of 2 million people for over 18 years. Maccabi has created and maintains chronic disease registries, which are updated automatically in real time from the central medical record. These include diabetes, cardiovascular, infertility, hypertension, home care, cancer, schizophrenia/bipolar, warfarin treatment, chronic kidney disease, COPD and weight disorders (including obesity and metabolic syndrome) registries. The data includes demographic information, co-morbidities, lab results, medications, treatments, imaging and medical encounters (physicians, paramedical and hospitalizations). All patients have a single national identity number, which enables access to information from other national databases.
