[The clinical research unit].
The organization and infrastructure of clinical research in Denmark is currently in focus due to an ongoing review of Clinical Science performed by the National Ministry of Health. This review describes the background and philosophy for the integration of clinical research into practice and vice versa. This process is catalyzed by activities within the clinical research unit and the foundation is the clinical databases and biobanks. Understanding these mechanisms is fundamental for the quality of care in the Danish health care system and needs a national supportive strategy.
