Maccabi's database research service can perform studies to help understand the cost burden of disease within a population, including hospitalizations, use of diagnostic services, drugs and days lost from work. Similarly, we are able to compare the cost and burden of various treatments, disease management programs and other interventions.

Using its database, Maccabi's database research service can help clients understand the impact of treatments on patients. The effectiveness of various approaches can be compared, side effects tracked and measured. Because Maccabi's database includes complete drug purchase records, not merely the prescriptions, we can study and evaluate drug compliance. Because of our ability to interact directly with the physicians, we can evaluate quality of life, in addition to other outcomes. Our survey research department has expertise in conducting follow-up surveys directly with patients to supplement the information available in our database.

Maccabi's database research service was developed to study the impact of various modes of treatment, disease management programs and other health services interventions on the health outcomes of populations. We have extensive experience performing studies to better understand the utilization of health services, the factors that affect utilization as well as the behavioral and health outcomes that result from changes in utilization.

Maccabi's fully integrated, fully computerized health enables research on disease management and care co-ordination. Our extensive, validated chronic disease registries provide an excellent test bed for chronic disease management programs and other treatment modalities.

Maccabi database research service includes a staff of expert survey researchers, who can develop and conduct online, telephone and paper surveys independently or as an adjunct to other Maccabi research services.
