Some of our research questions were:

  • What are the needs for management information perceived by administrators and politicians in Norwegian municipalities?
  • How is management information used actively in control of services?
  • How is management information attached to the financing of health services?
  • What is the relationship between the administration and politicians regarding health policy?
  • How is the individual based registry for health and care in municipalitites (IPLOS) used?
