Abstract

The Demonstrator study aims to analyse comorbidities and rare diseases among patients from German university hospitals within the German Medical Informatics Initiative. This work aimed to design and determine the feasibility of a model to assess the quality of the claims data used in the study. Several data quality issues were identified affecting small amounts of cases in one of the participating sites. As a next step an extension to all participating sites is planned.
