Transparancy

As part of its activities, stève consultants carries out epidemiological and medico-economic research projects using the databases of the National Health Data System ( SNDS ). These medico-administrative databases are created for reimbursement purposes and contain, exhaustively for the French population, data relating to hospitalizations, consumption of care provided in the community and deaths. As the SNDS databases are for administrative purposes, they do not contain medical reports or the results of examinations carried out.
