Karin Hek, PhD
Senior researcher Pharmaceutical Care

Research

I am one of the researchers responsible for the annual reporting on primary care using data from Nivel Primary Care Database, and for the quality of this data. In this database routinely registered electronic health record data from a representative sample of general practitioners, out-of-hours services and paramedical professionals is collected. These data can be combined with other data sources such as secondary care and pharmacy data, which gives a complete overview of presented symptoms and diseases and health care use in primary care. My focus is on pharmaceutical care.
