Abstract
In Denmark, the linkage between national clinical databases and central health administrative and socio-demographic registries provides unique opportunities for describing and analysing disease courses in ways that can be applied for quality improvement purposes, in the evaluation of new organisational initiatives, and for research. This status article presents an overview of the possibilities and discusses the potentials and challenges.
