AHON is part of the UMCG Department of Primary and Long-term Care and wants to improve the quality of primary care. The AHON-database provides valuable input for scientific research, education and training in the field of primary care, as well as benchmark output for affiliated general practices.
As per the 1st of July 2022, the AHON-database contains information on provided health care of a little more than 444 thousand patients; approximately 304 thousand of whom were still registered at that date. Data come from about 65 participating general practices, and that number is still growing.
Our longitudinal database is used as the main cohort. Tailor-made datasets are prepared based on the research questions. In some cases, existing datasets can be reused for new research questions. The AHON team can give advice on these topics.
Please visit the UMCG Research Data Catalogue for more detailed information on our data and samples.
Relevant data registered in the Health Information Systems (HIS) at the affiliated general practices on provided health care are included in the AHON-database.
