Data capture. The Sentinel Data Capture program collects key data as it is entered into the GP´s electronic patient record system. The collected data are prescribed drugs, National Health Service disbursement codes, laboratory analysis results and ICPC diagnoses. In addition, data are collected via pop-up menu for specific diseases or conditions. Every night data are sent to the Danish General Practice Research Database (DGPD), through the Sentinel Data Network (SDN). Treatment quality reports are generated every weekend and can be accessed by the GPs.
