Selected statistics on Home nursing
Recipients of home nursing in their own homes, categorized by gender

Acute readmissions are based on Register for Patients from the Agency of Health.
To calculate a total for the country regarding referral hours at nursing homes, rehabilitation and preventative home visits, the population register from Statistics Denmark is used. The register includes and describes people who live in Denmark, in detail, on the basis of the available information from the register of personal identity numbers.
To calculate the quality of service, a sample based on telephone interviews and personal interviews is used. The Ministry of Health has been responsible for the investigation which in the future will be performed by The Danish Health Data Authority.
The agreement of documentation at the elderly area includes a number of impact indicators and background indicators. The majority of the effect indicators will be collected every second year via a national sample-based user survey, while the majority of the background indicators will be based on individual-based data obtained directly from the municipalities' care systems rather than manually aggregated information. It is agreed that the documentation regarding the elderly area must be anchored and compiled in Statistics Denmark.

On the statistics – documentation, sources and method
See the documentation of statistics to learn more:
The purpose of these statistics is to display the quality level of municipal services in the elderly care. The statistics are a part of a cross-public cooperation, intended to ensure coherent documentation of important areas of municipal service, as well as to increase the comparability of the services provided in the different municipalities. The statistics are used to determine impact targets, frameworks and results requirements for key management initiatives and are comparable from 2008 onwards. Statistics Denmark is responsible for the composition and publication of the statistics.
