Fig. 3

Observations and predictions on relationship 1 and 2: disease incidence depending on total population at risk (occupancy). Observed (indicated by circles) and predicted (indicated by diamonds) disease incidence with respect to occupancy number (i.e., number of incident cases of diseases of the digestive system divided by the occupancy number) on the basis of the EHR data set and the models of Sect. 2.3.2 (relationship 2: patient-occupancy ratio when occupancy data is given) and Sect. 2.3.1 (relationship 1: disease incidence) for the unmatched occupancy dataset, respectively. Observations/predictions of different facilities are indicated by the colours of the small dots inside the circles/diamonds, which are coloured with respect to the type of centre (REC: black, REG: blue). An analogous figure with 95% confidence intervals for the observed estimates/ predictions can be found in Appendix A.4 (compare Figure A3)
