In general, primary care and other non-acute care services in Denmark appear to be performing efficiently under growing demands. The proportion of patients who visited an emeigency department due to the unavailability of primary care was the lowest among EU countries in 2011-13 (Figure 14). Potentially avoidable hospital admission rates for heart failure are low. For example, standardised admission rates for diabetes vary 1.5-fold between regions and avoidable admissions of people over 65 vary two-fold across Danish municipalities (from less than 40 to over 90 per 1000 population). Delays in discharges from hospital also vary widely (OECD. This suggests some unwarranted variation in access to, and quality of, primary care services and post-acute care, as well as the need for greater coordination across all levels of care.
