Productivity

To ensure insight into use of resources in the hospitals, the Danish Health Data Authority helps preparing the annual statements of productivity in the hospitals in collaboration with each of the five regions, the interest organisation Danish Regions, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Interior and Health.

The purpose of the productivity report is to create an overview of the level and change in the productivity in the public hospitals at both national level, regional level and hospital level.

The hospital activity is calculated by using the DRG tariffs. The annual changes in the tariffs thus affect the statement of productivity.

The expenses are calculated on the basis of the regions’ and the hospitals’ financial reports.
