| Annotation | Examines the national programme of structural and fiscal reforms that Denmark and Norway have recently put in place in order to alleviate the growing pressure from increasing numbers of chronically ill older people. Municipalities have received financial incentives to reduce unnecessary hospital referrals by caring for chronically ill older people at the primary care level, and have established local acute care coordination units inside hospitals. At a national government level, there has been substantial investment in rural primary care and encouragement for hospital consolidation. (NH). |
