Statistical processing

Source data

Data comes from an internal statistical register and an external administrative register. Information on the number of people comes from the population statistics, while information on the number of medical capacities comes from the Danish Health Data Authority's key figures for general practice.

Frequency of data collection

Data are collected yearly.

Data collection

Data are collected directly from administrative registers.

Data validation

As the collected data have already been validated, no further data validation and error detection are carried out.

Data compilation

The statistics integrate the population statistics' information on the number of people at the municipality level with the information on the municipalities' medical capacities, which are identified from the Danish Health Data Authority's key figures for general practice.

Data is grouped according to geography (municipality group and municipality, cf. the municipality group classification).

Coverage of general practitioners is calculated as the number of people per medical capacity.

Weights are not used.

Adjustment

No adjustments are made beyond what is already described under Data validation and Data compilation.
