Centers of excellence

The centers of excellence gather expertise within the areas of healthcare in which we are a national and international leader, in order to provide the best possible care for patients.

A center of excellence brings together key persons from various organisations to ensure that patients receive the best possible quality of healthcare. A center of excellence will facilitate cooperation across organisational boundaries for patients with complex diseases that require care from different specialists.

Our centers of excellence provide

• a seamless care chain that adapts healthcare to the patient’s requirements and wishes
• better collaboration within multi-disciplinary teams, over the borders of different professions
• research and development in the field in question
• a node in our work with other actors and partners
• more efficient use of our resources, thereby reducing costs
• Centers of excellence also have a mission to increase the probability of achieving specific targets set up by hospital management.
