Sundhedsområdet - Kommunale Indikatorer

Abstract

The general purpose is to maintain a national set of indicators, which aim at creating coherent, simple and concise statistical data on the health-related efforts carried out by the municipalities and their derived effects. The project originates from an agreement with regard to municipal finances for 2006. The documentation projects are embedded in the Steering Group for Cross-Public Sector Cooperation.

The indicators were selected in April 2009 in cooperation with an external consultant, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of the Interior and Health, the National Association of Local Authorities in Denmark, Danish Regions and the National Board of Health. Statistics Denmark and the National Board of Health are responsible for collecting, processing and publishing the indicators. The first indicators were published on 18 June 2010, and in May 2011 most indicators were updated, while the remaining indicators were published in September 2011. In November 2011 indicators regarding chronical diseases will be expanded. Subsequently, the indicators are published annually in May.

The indicators monitor municipal health conditions in 6 areas. Prevention and health advancement, rehabilitation following discharge from hospital, home nursing care, alcohol abuse, drug abuse and children's health.
