Common web solution for specialist healthcare services

About the website

All healthcare providers across the country's four health regions have a common publishing solution for their websites.

Common web solution

All healthcare providers have their own website, but the websites are based on the same technical solution: “Common web solution for specialist healthcare services».

The solution means that healthcare providers have been given a common design and structure and can share information across websites. A healthcare provider may consist of several hospitals, district medical centers, and treatment locations within mental health and substance abuse services. Several private non-profit hospitals are also involved in the collaboration.

In addition to the hospitals, all regional healthcare providers, hospital pharmacies, and IT companies are also part of the common web solution.

Sharing information across healthcare providers is central to the common web solution. Information about treatment methods and patient pathways is developed nationally and all healthcare providers can use the same information. This ensures that patients, regardless of their geographical location, receive the same treatment information.

To ensure that patients and relatives also receive information relevant to their own healthcare provider, the national treatment text is combined with local information. You will receive practical information about the treatment location, information about transport, departments, contact information, visiting address, and events. In addition, diagnostic information from helsenorge.no is integrated into the treatment information.

The treatment information is also linked to relevant treatments in "Choose treatment location," which shows waiting times for assessment and treatment.

All information that can be shared is published in a separate area for common content. From this area, healthcare providers can retrieve the information they want and enrich the text with information from their own healthcare provider.

The common content is continuously assessed. All healthcare providers can contribute suggestions for changes and improvements, and all providers are involved in the change process, which is coordinated centrally. In addition, all treatment content will undergo regular maintenance every other year.

All common treatment information is approved by experts at the healthcare provider that produces the content. When a common text is used by another provider, the information is re-evaluated by experts at this healthcare provider. You can therefore be confident that the information you read on this website is quality assured and approved. All information has a professional responsible (name) and a responsible healthcare provider.

Common content is provided by all healthcare providers, and university hospitals account for the largest production. In this way, healthcare providers with little production of treatment information can also use common content and thus provide their patients with information about treatments at their own treatment location.

Each healthcare provider has its own editorial responsibility for its website. All inquiries about the website's content should be directed to the relevant provider.

You can retrieve texts from the website, but we ask that the healthcare provider is cited as the source when texts are used in other contexts.

You cannot freely use images and videos from the healthcare provider's website due to rights to images and videos. For use of images and videos for media or in other contexts, contact the communications department of the healthcare provider.
