Popis: Day surgery is more cost-effective than in-patient surgical treatment and, for certain categories of patients is also a better quality form of care. It can often replace the traditional surgical treatment of patients, i.e. an operation with hospitalisation. For this reason, day surgery should become a more common form of treatment, also in Norway. This makes it necessary to create incentives that will encourage it. This cannot be done without first developing methods for collecting data on this activity.
