Thus the examination provides an overview of the IT systems currently at the disposal of the hospitals and supporting performance of core tasks. The examination also points to potential improvement areas. Rigsrevisionen also assesses the regions' concrete plans within IT and in that connection, Rigsrevisionen emphasises the importance of ensuring the best possible coordination of IT systems development initiatives across the regions.
