PHARMO Institute
PHARMO Institute is dedicated to the study of epidemiology, drug utilization, drug safety and health outcomes.
As an independent research organization, we study the effects of drug treatments in real life to enhance the health of people using medication. In that way we contribute to drug safety and are able to find unwanted side effects in advance.
We base our studies on databases derived from general practitioners, hospitals, labs, different disease related databases and in- and out-patient pharmacies, which are anonymized by STIZON and used to follow the disease course and effects of medication during and after the treatment.
Via data derived from various primary and secondary healthcare settings, we are able to predict efficacy and possible side effects of medication. In this way PHARMO Institute wants to contribute to health innovation and health optimization. For our observational studies disease-specific cohorts are created from the various databases.
