[Future of registries]

Abstract

Medical registries play a crucial role in contemporary medicine by providing valuable information for clinical practice, research, and health policies. Systematic performance assessment, including patient input, linkage with medical-administrative databases, integration of randomized studies, and the use of artificial intelligence, mark an exciting new era for medical registries. These advancements will transform the way we understand, prevent, and treat diseases, paving the way for a more personalized, predictive, efficient, and likely cost-effective medicine.
