Abstract: AbstractThe introduction of large-scale databases creates new opportunities for the monitoring, evaluation and planning of medical programmes. It also creates new obstacles. The existing tools of the trade that are based on strictly designed, well controlled, small experiments and their inferential statistics become insufficient. The sensible analysis of huge databases demands for a new approach, new tools and new indicators. This document presents one new approach that is based on data warehousing, benchmarking, a micro-macro approach and graphic user interfaces. The opportunities for medical programme monitoring, evaluation and planning are illustrated for the case of all cardiovascular surgery in Belgium.
