Abstract

The computerization of medical records in primary care is full of potential for research. In Catalonia, administrative, clinical and pharmaceutical data of patients cared for in Primary Care by the Institut Català de la Salut have been available since 2006. They constitute the Information System Development Research in Primary Care database of the Institut d’Investigació in Atenció Primària Jordi Gol.In 2012 the first diabetic population data in Catalonia were published, and several observational projects are currently being implemented. Information System Development Research in Primary Care is establishing itself as the best validated primary care Spanish database and may become a reference for the study of diabetes in southern Europe. The launch of prospective studies in the field of diabetes opens new paths for research in the near future.
