Abstract
In this study it has been evaluated whether connecting a heart failure database with other information sources is technically and financially feasible. This database is used to collect research data for the outpatient clinic for heart failure patients and has been implemented in Microsoft Access. Four connections are required for a maximum link-up of the database. However, only one of these connections is technically feasible. Therefore it was concluded that connecting a medium scale research application like this heart failure database to other information systems is not (yet) a realistic option.
