User Needs

There are many users of the statistics: ministries, patient organizations, private companies, researchers, journalists, and private individuals. The statistics are used to provide insight into the use of the primary care sector and the health of the population. For example, journalists use figures from Statistics Denmark to write articles about who visits the doctor, researchers use microdata to identify users of the primary care sector, and politicians rely on data to inform health policy discussions.

However, there is also demand for data such as diagnoses made by general practitioners and the use of health services not covered by public health insurance – for example, services paid through private insurance. Unfortunately, this is data we currently do not have access to.

User Satisfaction

There is regular contact with users, either by email or by phone. Based on feedback, it is assessed that the users’ needs are largely met. However, there is also demand for information on the reasons for the contacts and the expenses incurred by private households in connection with healthcare treatments.

Data completeness rate

Under preparation.
