Background

EyeNet Sweden was instituted January 2003 as a centre of competence within the field of quality registries.

A system of national quality registries has been established in the Swedish health and medical services in the last decades. All national quality registries contain individualised data concerning patient problems, medical interventions, and outcomes after treatment and aggregated the data can be used with the purpose of continuous learning, quality improvement and management.
