title: [Methods of the EuroHOPE research program].
abstract: The European Health Care Outcomes, Performance and Efficiency research was financed by the European Union between 2010 and 2013. In this program a new methodology was developed which made the analysis of regularly collected data and international benchmarking of the healthcare results of 5 socially and economically critical diagnosis group between the 7 participant countries possible. This paper presents the most important areas of the development, such as (1) the principles of the methodology, (2) the definition of available databases, code systems, (3) the events to be analysed, (4) the general rules of analyses and indicator development, (5) the exact methodology of data collection, processing, and analysis, (6) the methods of risk adjustment, (7) and the development of the standardised database. The databases which include all information of all patients and healthcare activities serve as perfect inexhaustible data sources for decision makers, healthcare personnel, and researchers. The indicator results of this program serve as starting point for further root cause analysis and development measures based on the results of the abovementioned analyses. Orv.
