Reorganization of the Danish out-of-hours primary care – a descriptive study
Danish OOHPC models differ substantially regarding the use of healthcare professionals for delivering acute unplanned care. All regions still provide gatekeeping, where OOHPC performs a primary evaluation before a possible hospital contact. Delivery of relevant data to registries has decreased substantially with the current models, potentially creating a barrier for nationwide research on OOHPC.
