Abstract

Evidence-based medicine has always relied on databases. Anyone who needs to know anything about the outcome of a treatment needs a database, but individual practitioners may feel that database design is beyond them for various reasons. Effective database design does not require complexity. This article seeks to be a practical guide for those who are contemplating development of their own database.
