Ten Years Experience with National IT Strategies for the Danish Health Care Service

Since 1995 IT strategies have been an important instrument in Denmark to agree about what systems and services are going to be developed and implemented in large scale on national basis. During the past 10 years the focus for the it strategies has changed and this paper is analysing and comparing the content and focus for the four strategies. In order to compare the IT strategies the content has been divided into five groups and the quality of the content have been scored. The comparing is done by plotting the result of the scoring into a radar (spider) diagram. The analyse shows that none of the strategies covers all the important factors at the same time.
