Sammanfattning
The law of 1992 on patient insurance applies to all patients who have suffered a treatment injury in a Danish hospital. In 2002, the number of claims increased to 3,600. They are assessed by a panel of experienced medical specialists working closely with a legal office. The no-fault principle is applied, and no reports on the persons responsible for the injuries are made to the authorities. Since 1996 the claims have been registered according to diagnosis, treatment and complications. This archive presently includes 18,000 claims, and we are now going to publish the results regarding specific injuries. The first three papers are in press. It is our hope that the papers will be used by hospitals in their work toward quality improvement.
