Longitudinal data on individuals and services In principal, for all services which have been active since
2013-07-01 Every service has basic background information,
information about the service provider and information about the target group.
All service types map to paragraphs in the law on social services.

The data in principle allows us to identify the specific service provider delivering a service. IT providers and municipalities are struggling to deliver this
data The national registry of service providers is still undergoing
quality checks In 2016, better quality is expected
New possibilities More information about the contents of services More information about the price of services
Future perspectives on data about service providers

Target groups are not, by definition, indicative of a medical diagnosis.
By far the largest groups are cognitive disabilities and psychiatric disabilities.

The first publication in May 2015 contained data from 13 municipalities
Some data has arrived from close to 70 municipalities – this is available to researchers
More than double the initial publication size is expected for the next publication in December 2015
Data coverage

There were two assumptions about data that were made on the basis of an initial consultant report.1. All municipalities would store their data in some
systematic way, as they all have to provide services according to the same rules.
2. The providers of the IT system would relatively easily be able to extract the information in a standardized way.
Turns out : They didn't and they weren't.
Why is it hard to deliver data?

models
Improving data
