The answer was firstly to standardise the healthcare data network and a range of system solutions for medical practices, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories etc. To a considerable extent, the healthcare data network was supported by enthusi- asts and pioneers, who saw new oppor- tunities and worked assiduously to put them into practice and disseminate them. The enthusiasts are still exceptio- nally important to the healthcare data network, where an underlying principle has always been that it is the needs of 4 Change-over to the Internet – new opportunities for everyone the user that represent the basis for de- fining the solution. General practice was and still is an im- portant hub for many of the most im- portant communication flows. It is the GP who is the patient’s firm point of reference and contact with the rest of the healthcare sector. The GP has therefore also had an important role throughout the dissemination of the healthcare data network – and continues to do so. Gene- ral practice has, however, been closely followed by the other parties in the health service – the data network has become a part of everyday life in the healthcare sector. The dissemination in itself goes towards providing the basis for the success of the healthcare data network and is therefore self-reinforcing. Today around 75% of parties in the health service use the healthcare data network. Overall, the project has succeeded to such an extent that at the start of MedCom 4 it is realistic to imagine that the healthcare data network will attain close on 100% spread in 2002, as also expressed in the In the existing healthcare data network, a VANS provider acts as a target for MedCom.

Cornett* and Nils Karl Sørensen** ABSTRACT: The article aims to explain the different patterns of economic deve- lopment in Europe based on an assessment of regional and national performance with regard to innovation, entrepreneurship and difference in the industrial struc- ture. The central hypothesis of the paper is that large intra-regional disparities do not necessarily lead to lower economic growth on the national level than smaller disparities do. On the contrary, the polarization of economic activities can lead to excess growth in some cases, and contribute to a process of convergence between nations. To address the mechanisms behind this process, the long run patterns of convergence and disparities in regional economic performance with regard to GDP and the distri- bution of employment are analyzed on the regional and the national level for selected European countries.

Introduction Unemployment was high in Denmark during the 1980s and 90s, reaching a record level of 12.3% in 1994. Consequently, there was a perceived need for new actions and policies in the combat of unemployment, and a law Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) was enacted in 1994. The instated policy marked a dramatic regime change in the intensity of active labour market policies. After the reform, unemployment has decreased signi…cantly –in 1998 the unemploy- ment rate was 6.6% and in 2002 it was 5.2%. TABLE 1. UNEMPLOYMENT IN DANISH COUNTIES (EXCL.

    The Danish Design Industry Annual Mapping 2005 Copenhagen Business School May 2005 Please refer to this report as: ʺA Mapping of the Danish Design Industryʺ published by IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at Copenhagen Business School. CBS, May 2005 A Mapping of the Danish Design Industry Copenhagen Business School · May 2005 Preface The present report is part of a series of mappings of Danish creative industries. It has been conducted by staff of the international research network, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics, (www.druid.dk), as part of the activities of IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at the Copenhagen Business School (www.cbs.dk/imagine). In order to assess the future potential as well as problems of the industries, a series of workshops was held in November 2004 with key representatives from the creative industries covered. We wish to thank all those who gave generously of their time when preparing this report. Special thanks go to Nicolai Sebastian Richter‐Friis, Architect, Lundgaard & Tranberg; Lise Vejse Klint, Chairman of the Board, Danish Designers; Steinar Amland, Director, Danish Designers; Jan Chul Hansen, Designer, Samsøe & Samsøe; and Tom Rossau, Director and Designer, Ichinen. Numerous issues were discussed including, among others, market opportunities, new technologies, and significant current barriers to growth. Special emphasis was placed on identifying bottlenecks related to finance and capital markets, education and skill endowments, labour market dynamics, organizational arrangements and inter‐firm interactions. The first version of the report was drafted by Tina Brandt Husman and Mark Lorenzen, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics (DRUID) and Department of Industrial Economics and Strategy, Copenhagen Business School, during the autumn of 2004 and finalized for publication by Julie Vig Albertsen, who has done sterling work as project leader for the entire mapping project.

  • Patients' Experience of Choosing an Outpatient Clinic in One County in Denmark
    Birk et al. BMC Health Services Research 2011, 11:262 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6963/11/262 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Patients’ experience of choosing an outpatient clinic in one county in Denmark: results of a patient survey Hans O Birk1,2*†, Rikke Gut3† and Lars O Henriksen1† Abstract Background: Research on patients’ choice of hospital has focused on inpatients’ rather than outpatients’ choice of provider. We have investigated Danish outpatients’ awareness and utilisation of freedom of choice of provider; which factors influence outpatients’ choice of hospital, and how socio-demographic variables influence these factors in a single uptake area, where patients were free to choose any public hospital, where care was provided free at the point of delivery, and where distance to the closest hospitals were short by international standards. Methods: Retrospective questionnaire study of 4,232 outpatients referred to examination, treatment, or follow-up at one of nine somatic outpatient clinics in Roskilde County in two months of 2002, who had not been hospitalised within the latest 12 months. The patients were asked, whether they were aware of and utilised freedom of choice of hospital. Results: Fifty-four percent (2,272 patients) filled in and returned the questionnaire. Forty-one percent of respondents were aware of their right to choose, and 53% of those patients utilised their right to choose. Awareness of freedom of choice of provider was reported to be especially high in female outpatients, patients with longer education, salaried employees in the public sector, and in patients referred to surgical specialties. Female outpatients and students were especially likely to report that they utilised their right to choose the provider.
