title: [Health information database system of the Federal Center for Health Education (FCHE)].
abstract: The "market" of institutions, organizations, and providers offering information in the field of health promotion and prevention is heterogeneous and complex. Reliable data and improvements in transparency and quality assurance are urgently needed at the national level. The Federal Center for Health Education (FCHE) organizes qualified nationwide surveys on available health-promoting services. The results are published as online databases with convenient options for data recall, which encourages information transfer and networking. The databases also facilitate analyses of supply and development of quality criteria. This contribution demonstrates the basics of FCHE activities in this field and presents three database examples.
