These were strengthened as part of the reforms of 2007 through the creation of centrally standardised agreements covering care coordination, prevention and rehabilitation. These agreements are managed continuously by regional consultative committees comprising representation from the regions and municipalities as well as private health care practitioners, and are ratified by the National Health Board. These standards comprise three categories: organisational (quality, risk management, hygiene and human capital), care coordination (patient involvement, referrals and medication safety), and disease-specific standards (guidelines and protocols).
