title: Hypertension registry as the base for population health care.
abstract: The Hypertension Registry (REH) is an instrument for the observation of all the data relevant for arterial hypertension (number, type, spread, etc.), enabling an adequate protection planning. As actually there is no relevant coherent REH in the Republic of Croatia, this work presents new relational database, i.e. prototype of REH tested on data of Clinical Hospital Split. REH supported by electronic data processing and based on the observation of the relevant patients data including the observation (the condition control) of the diseased until death, comprises the signification of the population and hospital registry.
