Reporting on policy responses in Norway - Ingrid Saunes, Norwegian Institute of Public Health
The European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (E-OBS) supports and promotes evidence-informed health policy-making through analysis of the health-care systems in Europe. Their publication series Health Systems in Transition (HiT) describe each country’s health systems and continuously update them. During the COVID-19 pandemic policy responses are presented and analysed at a designated web-page https://www.covid19healthsystem.org/mainpage.aspx. The reporting cover areas from preventing transmission, ensuring sufficient physical infrastructure and workforce capacity, effective provision of health services, paying for health services, as well as governance and measures in other sectors. In addition there are topic specific collection of relevant information, as data reporting and coding.
This presentation will give a brief intro to the collaboration with E-OBS, before I present the timeline of the Norwegian policy responses, details on some aspects of the health system and policies, including information on the Covid-modelling in Norway, it’s current role and sampling of the E-OBS analysis.
