The partnership was established as a temporary healthcare IT project in 1994, but was later made permanent through the 1999 financial agreement between the Government and the former counties. MedCom’s purpose: MedCom will con- tribute to the development, testing, dissemination and quality assurance of electronic communication and informa- tion in the healthcare sector, with the aim of supporting good patient pro- gress. The parties behind MedCom today are: the Ministry of Healthcare and Preven- tion, the National Board of Health, Danish Regions, Local Government Den- mark, the Ministry of the Interior and Social Affairs and the Danish Pharma- ceutical Association.

One of the members of the group was Niels Jørgen Christensen, who today is IT Project Manager in the Central Jutland Region. “We were six self-appointed nerds with masses of pioneering spirit and drive who said that we would be perfectly capable of developing some standards like this. We were all different and there were many disagreements, but we always managed to reach a decision that everyone would support,” he recalls. The standard electronic forms, EDIFACTs, were developed based on international standards and by examining the actual requirements of doctors and healthcare staff who would need to use the forms. The technical challenge consisted of transferring a paper form into an electronic system. “A computer, of course, cannot decide whether one thing is more relevant than another, or whether a date specified is a creation date or discharge date,” explains Anders Kristian Jørgensen, who was working at the time for Dan Net and who was res- ponsible for getting the systems to work in practice. “We needed to ensure that the system could sort all the data in a meaningful way. And the EDIFACTs developed by the standardisation group in ‘96 are, at their core, the same as the ones used in the healthcare system today.” In this department, “we reduced the work processes from 18 to just 5 by switching to purely electronic communication.

Though merely whetting our appetites, this taster has confi rmed Denmark’s infl uential contribution to our continent’s cultural wealth. Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility 2012 Published: 8 February, 2013
    Corporate Social Responsibility 2012 Published: 8 February, 2013 Our approach At TDC, responsibility and sustainability are natural aspects of our business. We appreciate that we are part of society and that we have an important role to play. Our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) therefore starts in our business areas and reflects our ambition to actively use our core competences and strengths to promote sustainable development in society. Our focus on CSR also supports our business by ensuring awareness of the needs and expectations of our stakeholders, by reducing TDC's exposure to risks, and by supporting innovation and enhancing the company's reputation in society. Our strategic approach to CSR thus allows us to create value for both society at large as well as our business. "TDC will use its core competences to promote sustainable development in society." Five focus areas More specifically, TDC's approach to responsibility and sustainability is structured around five focus areas, which are defined in our CSR strategy. These areas have been selected for their strategic link to TDC's core business and are thus the issues of most significance to our company, and where we can make the greatest difference. The five focus areas are: Digital Denmark Customer trust and safety Climate and environment Employee well-being and diversity Social partnerships Page 1 of 12 Our CSR strategy covers the entire TDC Group, including Nordic and Danish subsidiaries. This report describes the specific ambitions for the five focus areas, explains how these have been translated into concrete actions, and outlines the results that have been achieved.

  • Finding the Land of Opportunity Intergenerational Mobility in Denmark
    Finding the Land of Opportunity Intergenerational Mobility in Denmark Jesper Eriksen Department of Business and Management Aalborg University 178,866 characters with spaces - 74.5 pages May 31, 2018 Abstract Denne afhandling omhandler lige muligheder inden for intergenerationel mobilitet i en dansk kontekst. Afhandlingen forholder sig til spørgsmålet, “Er lighed i muligheder påvirket af lokalområder i Danmark?”. Jeg besvarer forskningsspørgsmålet ved at undersøge tre under- spørgsmål: (1) “Hvad karakteriserer den geografiske fordeling af muligheder i Danmark?”, (2) “Hvorfor kunne bestemte grupper, defineret ved geografi, forventes at opleve højere eller lavere mobilitet? Hvilken rolle spiller lokalområde karakteristika som forklarende variabel i forhold til lige muligheder?”, og (3) “Hvad er effekten af at flytte fra ét lokal område til et andet for lige muligheder for flyttende familier?“. Først opstiller jeg et teoretisk grundlag for at kunne diskutere lighed i muligheder, som filosofisk begreb, i relation til gængse mål for lighed i muligheder: intergenerationel mobilitet. Jeg påviser, at det ikke er muligt at vurdere, hvorvidt lighed i muligheder påvirkes ud fra nogen af de tre teorier ved alene at undersøge mobilitetsmål. For at besvare forskningsspørgsmålet kræves der information om, hvordan lokalområder kausalt påvirker intergenerationel mobilitet. For at besvare første underspørgsmål beskriver jeg grundlæggende træk i litteraturen om in- tergenerational mobilitet, samt den metodiske literatur om intergenerationel mobilitetsmål. Datagrundlaget for besvarelsen er dansk registerdata for perioden 1980-2012, som tillader kobling af børn og forældre, samt måling af samlet indkomst før skat. Ved at allokere børn født mellem 1973-1975 til de kommuner, som primært vokser op i, fra de er 7-15 viser jeg, at der er substantiel variation i intergenerationel mobilitet på tværs af danske kommuner.
