Abstract

Health care exhibits the same attributes of self-organization that are evident in the world in general. Systems are at a critical state where there is change and upheaval in all dimensions. Health care is inching closer to a major reorganization as the fundamental issues of cost, access and quality are moving toward a critical state. This article explores some of the aspects of complexity and how they are impacting the future of the health care system.

[Clinical indicators and quality databases--a review].

This review states the work which has been done in Denmark on clinical indicators and large databases containing clinical data with nationwide coverage. The aim of the work was to obtain valid and reliable information on clinical quality to be used by clinicians, leaders, and the public. Nationally we have: 1) The needed experience related to identification and development of clinical indicators and construction of databases. 2) The necessary partners (scientific societies, hospital owners, primary care sector, and health authorities) are motivated and involved in a collaborative organisation. Nationally we lack: 1) Experience with implementation and use of clinical indicators. 2) An overview of the needed investments to ensure coverage of all important diseases, continuity in patient care, and improvement of the existing databases. 3) Fully integrated information systems.
