Survey method
The statistics are based on the following sources:
- Databank DigiMV of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, with digital annual reports of enterprises and groups of enterprises financed or partly financed through the Health care insurance act and/or the Exceptional Medical Expenses Act;
- Digital survey among hospitals by Prismant commissioned by the sector associations NVZ and NFU (only for 2006);
- Surveys by the MOgroep regarding provincially financed residential care and social work for children.
Respondents
Data are provided by the following organisations; Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, Nza, Central administration Office (CAK) regarding home care, and the MOgroep.
Sample size
The study is based on a full observation of health care institutions.
Checking and correction methods
Statements are checked in terms of accuracy, consistency and completeness. Missing and incorrect data are estimated on the basis of available annual reports, survey data from earlier periods or survey data from comparable institutions.
Weighting
The missing data from large institutions are estimated at the level of the individual institution. For small institutions, missing observations are imputed using the sample means of the respective stratum. A stratum is classified using SIC class and number of persons employed.
Quality of the results
Accuracy
Due to non-response, a margin of error should be taken into account. Therefore, the sums of money in the table are rounded to the nearest million euros, and the number of institutions are rounded to the nearest ten.
Sequential comparability
Annual figures published in this table are comparable.
