Statistics on Referrals in the General Health System
November 16, 2024
35% of patients obtain a referral to a specialist, while only 4% are referred for radiological exams. The numbers show a decline in the use of short-term referrals compared to the start of the General Health System, but there is a rise in long-term referrals. The process of recording referrals and evaluating personal doctors is ongoing. Starting in 2025, a new performance indicator for doctors will be fully implemented.
