title: [Past, present, future and benefits of "Tauffer", the Hungarian obstetric registry].
abstract: Since more than 80 years, the Hungarian obstetric database, called Tauffer registry, shows the evolution as well as professional and organizational issues of the Hungarian obstetrics. The system, renewed in 1994, provides detailed on-line information about obstetric events in the website owned by the National Institute for Quality and Organizational Development in Healthcare and Medicines. Although a significant overlap between Tauffer registry and other databases exists, these databases improve the efficacy of Tauffer registry and they provide additional information on obstetric events. Tauffer registry is publicly available for anyone and its data can be used by professionals and professional managers. The author presents 3 examples to demonstrate the practical use of professional indicators obtained from Tauffer registry.
