About the sponsors
Centre for Clinical Documentation and Evaluation (SKDE)
SKDE was established in 2004 and celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
SKDE contributes to highlighting geographical inequalities in the specialist healthcare service in Norway, and the aim is to contribute to equal healthcare services of good quality, regardless of where the patients live. Among SKDE’s primary tasks is to produce Health Atlases that provide an overview of how the use of specialist healthcare varies geographically in Norway.
SKDE has several ongoing research projects within various fields: cardiovascular diseases, cancer, mental health, and musculoskeletal disorders. These projects study the geographical and socio-economical variation in healthcare services and attempt to explain these variations.
SKDE has also been tasked with leading an interregional effort to reduce examinations and treatments with low value or uncertain health benefits. The reduction is intended to be implemented nationally, ensuring uniformity for all patients.
The National competence unit for Medical Quality Registers is organized in SKDE and is a center of expertise that offers support with the establishment and operation of national clinical quality registers.
The centre has a total of 38 employees, led by Director Eva Stensland, and is located in Tromsø, Norway.
Wennberg International Collaborative
The collaborative was founded in 2010 with the goal to accelerate research into the causes and consequences of unwarranted health care variation across regions and providers.
