The report is about quality at the Danish hospitals. The objective of the examination is to determine whether the national quality programmes contribute to ensuring and developing the quality at the hospitals. Rigsrevisionen has mapped the national quality programmes and the report answers the following questions:

  • Are the national quality programmes and the efforts made by the hospital departments to ensure and develop the quality of healthcare connected?
  • Are the national quality programmes supporting the hospital departments in their efforts to ensure and develop the quality of healthcare?
  • Do the Ministry of Health and the regions follow up on the national quality programmes to determine whether they contribute to ensuring and developing the quality of healthcare?

The examination was launched at Rigsrevisionen's initiative.
