Data collection arrangements
The database will collate routine clinical information on patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen treatment. All data held at the database will be pseudo-anonymised. The data will be entered electronically at each treatment centre and hosted in a secure server for the public sector (UK Cloud), which can only be accessed by those with proper credentials.
Research programme
The database will support quality improvement work through a mechanism for collecting selected information about patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOTs). This information will be used to understand the characteristics of patients receiving HBOT, the indication that it is being used for, the outcomes of the treatments, adverse events associated with HBOTs, and safety issues. This will enable future patients to make better informed choices about HBOT, and provide information to members of the public about the appropriateness and effectiveness of HBOTs.
