About us
The project is a co-operation between CHESS (Centre for Health Economics at Stakes), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Norway , SINTEF Health Services Research in Norway, Danish Institute for Health Services Research (DSI) and Medical Management Centre (MMC) in Sweden. In addition, the Swedish and Danish groups co-operate with National Boards of Health, which are responsible the maintain hospital discharge registers. CHESS is the co-ordinator of the study but each of the local organisations has the main responsibility for co-ordinating the data collection locally.
