Nationwide Health Data Management System: A Novel Approach for Integrating Biomarker Measurements with Comprehensive Health Records in Large Populations Studies

The nation-wide electronic health record database acts as an interoperable repository of health data obtained throughout citizen contacts with health care providers. This system improves accessibility for citizens and researchers to health data with the ability to assign context to disease development. In that system, individual patients who are members of the large population-based health database can be assessed as individuals or as a population in prospective studies of prospective diseases.
