Table explanation


This table provides data on contacts of the Dutch population with providers of medical care, including data on hospitalisation and the use of medicines. It covers the following aspects:

- contacts with GP
- contacts with medical specialists
- contacts with dentist
- contacts with physiotherapist/remedial therapist
- contacts with alternative healers
- hospitalisations, with and without overnight stay
- use of medicines, prescribed and non-prescribed
- satisfaction with GP, specialist, dentist, physiotherapist, hospital

The data are based on the Health Interview Survey conducted by Statistics Netherlands. They can be broken down by age and sex. The Health Interview Survey is a continuous survey. Its population consists of Dutch residents of all ages in private households.

Data available from 2010 till 2013.

Changes as of 7 February 2019:

The questions about contacts with medical specialists were changed in 2011; therefore data for 2010 are not available.

Description topics

Hospital admission in the last 12 months
Hospital admissions in the Netherlands are subdivided into:
- day admissions (without overnight stay)
- admission with at least one overnight stay
-----
Admissions related to childbirth and admissions to psychiatric hospitals are excluded. As a result, figures presented here may deviate from figures based on registered hospital admissions. In addition, the health interview survey does not cover people in institutional households, which may also result in discrepancies with register-based figures.
Day admission
Day admissions are hospital admissions without overnight stay, e.g. for planned minor surgery, exploratory/keyhole surgery, chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
% persons with day admission(s)
Percentage of persons in the population with at least one day admission in the 12 months preceding the interview.
Number of day admissions per 100 persons
Number of day admissions per year per 100 persons in the population.
Number of day admissions p. 100 patients
Number of day admissions per 100 persons with at least one day admission in the 12 months preceding the interview.
