Nordic eHealth Benchmarking. Towards evidence informed policies

Abstract

The Nordic eHealth group forms the basis for ongoing knowledge sharing across the Nordic countries regarding strategic issues within digitalisation in healthcare. Digitalisation is increasingly becoming a central means for supporting the delivery of healthcare services around the globe. The Nordic region is regarded as a frontrunner when it comes to the implementation and use of digital solutions. As part of the Nordic eHealth group work is being carried out regarding indicators and standardization. This report is the result of the indicator work carried out by the subgroup called the Nordic eHealth Research Network (NeRN). The aim of the work of the group is to provide a foundation for benchmarking across the Nordic countries and support policymaking in the countries, hence the subtitle “towards evidence informed policies”.
