Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Philipp Müller, head of the Digitalization and Innovation department at the German Federal Ministry of Health (BMG), stated that the ministry is prioritizing the long-planned Medical Registry Act (Medizinregistergesetz). Registry data can answer fundamental healthcare questions about which therapies actually work in everyday treatment, how to make treatments more targeted, and the role of data usage. The goal is to facilitate the linking of medical registry data to improve research and healthcare delivery.
