Digitalization in Danish healthcare

A national digital infrastructure now enables fully digital workflows, extensive data sharing, and seamless collaboration across the entire healthcare system – from GP to hospital to municipality.

Looking ahead, Denmark is accelerating its digital ambitions with the National Healthcare Reform of 2024, which places digitalization and health data at the center of a more equal, coherent, and citizen-centered healthcare system.

Key new initiatives include the establishment of Digital Health Denmark in 2027, a National Data Platform, a Digital Front Door giving citizens easy access to health services, and a National Center for Health Innovation in Odense.

Furthermore, this publication explores cases within four central themes: the infrastructure underpinning Denmark's digital health system, the collection and sharing of healthcare data, patient-oriented digital technologies, and labor-saving technology – illustrated throughout with concrete cases from across the Danish healthcare sector.
