3.1. Data description | |||
Statistics on healthcare non-expenditure provide information on healthcare human resources, healthcare facilities, and healthcare utilisation. |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
For the collection data on healthcare non- expenditure, the classifications used in the System of Health Accounts (SHA) and its related set of International Classification for the Health Accounts (https://www.oecd.org/health/health-systems/1841456.pdf) are applied. For hospital discharges, the International Shortlist for Hospital Morbidity Tabulation (ISHMT) is used. (https://circabc.europa.eu/ui/group/c1b49c83-24a7-4ff2-951c-621ac0a89fd8/library/6ff71dd5-8200-4fe4-a610-a7707cd47c4d) For Health Employment, the Directive 2005/36/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 September 2005 on the recognition of professional qualifications apply (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2005/36/2020-04-24). Definitions of mandatory variables are laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/2294. Where possible, the statistics are separated by sex (male/female), age group and NUTS2 region. The Eurostat manual on healthcare non-expenditure statistics provides an overview of the classifications, both for mandatory variables and variables provided on voluntary basis. National deviations: see Annex at the bottom of the page. |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||

|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
The healthcare non-expenditure statistics describe the public health sector from a non-monetary perspective. The statistics explain the number or rate of different healthcare resources, facilities and utilisations. A wide range of indicators are collected from a multitude of sources and therefore, details pertaining to individual variables are given in the Annex. Definitions of mandatory variables are laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/2294. The Eurostat manual on healthcare non-expenditure statistics provides an overview of the classifications, both for mandatory variables and variables provided on voluntary basis. National changes of statistical concepts and national definitions deviating from Regulation (EU) 2022/2294: see Annex at the bottom of the page. |

11.1. Quality assurance | |||
In Denmark reporting of data on hospital and employees follow government notices. The government notice applies to both public and private administered hospitals and cannot deviate. Data on i.e. inpatient, discharge, procedures has to be reported following https://sundhedsdatastyrelsen.dk/-/media/sds/filer/rammer-og-retningslinjer/patientregistrering/lpr_indberetningsvejledninger/tidligere-version-2,-d-,0/lpr_indberetningsvejledning_2022_v,-d-,2,-d-,0.pdf Likewise data on employment has to comply to https://skat.dk/data.aspx?oid=2234866 |
|||
11.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
In Denmark the government notices on reporting ensure data quality. We have a strict legislation with government notices on how hospitals, pharmacies and physicians from the primary sector etc. have to report data to national registries. Data from the hospital sector is transferred every night the National Health Data Authority, and we continuously check data. Every single day we send data back to the regions so they can correct errors. We use a password protected website. |

- Data regarding people active in the healthcare sector (doctors, dentists, nurses, etc.) and their status (graduates, practising, migration of doctors and nurses, etc.) derives from the Labour Register for Health Personnel. The Labour Register for Health Personnel has information on education, employment status, job position etc. Data is primarily used for work force analysis. - Data on available healthcare technical resources and facilities (hospital beds, beds in residential care facilities, medical technology, etc.) are bsaed on administrative data from the five Danish regions, who are responsible for delivery of primary and hospital-based care. - Data on health activities or patient contacts undertaken (hospital discharges, surgical procedures, ambulatory care data, etc.) comes from the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR, link to article in the annexes). The registry is an population-based administrative registry, which has collected data from all Danish hospitals since 1977 with complete nationwide coverage since 1978. Aims of the DNRP are:
