Finally, and it is a bit scary to say - kvalitetsindikatorer.no is live!

A quality indicator is defined as an agreed-upon process or outcome measure that is used to determine the level of quality achieved. Rikshospitalet Radiumhospitalet HF has got quality of their services as a main focus, and this data is meant to be used both by management and by the health professionals to improve their results, in addition to being a tool for the patients in their free choice of hospitals.

The site will contain proper information about the result of this hospitals diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients. In this first launch the focus has been on cancer, but we will go onto covering the rest of the hospital as soon as possible.

We have been working on this project for a looong time now, preparing the organization, making sure the quality registry was in place for the different areas of focus, making the technology able to do what we wanted… Well - it has been a lot of work. But we think it is an important step in giving the patients information to base a real choice of hospital on.

I have worked on making one of my obsessions into something more lately.

Sushi or Death is the result of that. It is a review site for restaurants serving sushi.

So - if you are into sushi, please go and vote and comment on the places that are among your favourites, and if you can’t find it - review it and send it to me yourself!

Thanks to Meld for always making me look good!
