The statistics contain data on inpatient care in health centres and hospitals (including day surgery). The data concern service providers, patients and treatment given to them, including client identification data, age, sex, municipality of residence, length of stay, diagnostic and procedural data and data on sending unit and place for further treatment. They are collected at the level of individual patients at the end of care periods, and at the end of each year concerning clients registered in institutions. The data are reported by service providers. In its current form, the collection of health-care data started in 1994. Before that, from 1967 onwards, data on patients discharged from hospital and health-centre wards were collected for the Hospital Discharge Register.
