Investigations of registered health professionals
The Danish Patient Safety Authority can investigate registered health professionals in Denmark. We can initiate an investigation if there is a specific concern that a registered health professional poses a risk to patient safety. If we determine that a registered health professional poses a risk to patient safety, we will take measures proportional to the severity of the risk against the safety of patients.
If you wish to raise a concern about a registered health professional, you can contact us.
We review all concerns raised regarding risks to patient safety to determine whether there are grounds for an investigation. Due to confidentiality policies, the outcome of the case will not be disclosed to the person who raised the concern.
Supervision of healthcare facilities
The Danish Patient Safety Authority carries out risk-based supervision of healthcare facilities and elderly care in Denmark. Healthcare facilities can be selected for supervision based on samples among different types of facilities. We also carry out inspections based on specific concerns about healthcare facilities. Supervision of healthcare facilities focuses on the organizations’ ability to ensure patient safety, not individual health professionals.
