Abstract :
The healthcare system in Denmark is well known for its high level of IT support and interoperability. The Danish healthcare system integrates several central technological solutions across hospital information and electronic medical record systems throughout Denmark. Important business drivers for this high level of interoperability include unique citizen ID numbers and a publicly funded healthcare system in which hospital reimbursements are based on electronic submissions of diagnosis and procedure codes to a central register.
