Sep 15, 2022: Wow, B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA® now has 375 database profiles from 48 countries!!

Since the 1980s, we have continued (in one form or another) our mission to improve healthcare research through the dissemination of comprehensive information on population health care data sources. From the original RAD-AR handbooks (Risk Assessment of Drugs-Analysis & Response) in the 80s, to B.R.I.D.G.E. ON-LINE launched in 2000, to B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA® launched in 2009, our nonprofit organization continues to maintain this goal. This month marks a major milestone – we just added our 375th profile!!

Sep 14, 2022: Check out our 28th healthcare database profile from Canada

The Manitoba Population Health Research Data Cardiac Surgical Database (Canada) was created to describe the cardiac surgery population and to provide individual reports for each surgeon informing them of patient population characteristics and post-operative complication rates. Starting in April 1995, information includes detailed surgical data, i.e., patient admission, history, and diagnosis data.
