2. Description

The DAPI - German Institute for Drug Use Evaluation (Deutsches Arzneiprüfungsinstitut e. V.) is a non-profit association active in the area of pharmacoeconomics and pharmacoepidemiology. The GIDE supports organisations and institutions in the healthcare sector with drug use evaluations. The DAPI operates a database comprising anonymous claims data of prescribed medicinal products dispensed at community pharmacies in the Federal Republic of Germany at the expense of the statutory health insurance (GKV) funds. Roughly 90 % of Germany's population is insured by this system (approx. 70 million people).
