title: [Information systems for health and social care planning. Information basis and information channels in the municipalities].
abstract: The Norwegian Government has started to develop a new system for a better exchange of information between the central and the local authorities when planning health and social services. The plan is to base the system on nationwide collection and delivery of standardized indicators which will signal trends and enable comparisons. Several conclusions from an interview survey indicate that the new information system will not be particularly useful. Local authorities believe that their information is good enough already, and have little confidence in statistics prepared by the central authorities. On the other hand many of them called for more statistics that would enable comparisons between neighbouring municipalities, and several had themselves taken the initiative to collect data on various local needs and activities.
