Reorganization of the Danish out-of-hours primary care - a descriptive study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasing demand for healthcare due to demographic changes and shortage of healthcare professionals challenges the provision of unplanned care. In Denmark, different organizational changes across all regions have been implemented to meet these challenges. This provides great potential for research on the effect of different organizational choices on the use and quality of healthcare. Thus, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current organizational models for acute unplanned out-of-hours primary care (OOHPC) across the five Danish regions, incorporating key contextual factors to characterize these regional systems.

Methods

Nationwide cross-sectional survey study on OOHPC models in all Danish regions (North, Central, Southern, Capital, and Zealand). S
