Mål for kvalitetsindikatorene er å belyse kvaliteten av tjenestene, gi styringsinformasjon og bidra til forbedring. Kvalitetsindikatorene som er i bruk i Norge publiseres på fylkesnivå med god kvalitet på dataene. Denne statistikken gir også mulighet for epidemiologisk forskning. De nordiske kvalitetsindikatorene gir mindre mulighet for sammenlignbarhet og analysering da de er basert på ulike datakilder og innsamlingsmetoder. Det er fotnote til hver indikator om hvordan dataene er fremskaffet i hvert land, og her fremkommer ulikheter i datakildene. Arbeidet med utvikling og forbedring av både de norske og de nordiske kvalitetsindikatorene er kontinuerlig. Det er ønskelig med flere indikatorer som kan måle eller gi en indikasjon på kvalitet på tannhelsetjenester. Mange punkter kan per i dag ikke måles på grunn av mangelfull datakvalitet og få rapporteringskrav for privat tannhelsetjeneste.

ENGLISH SUMMARY
Quality indicators are used to provide management information and contribute to improvement. The quality indicators used in Norway are based on sound data and published at the county level. This statistic allows for epidemiological research. The Nordic quality indicators provide less opportunity for comparability and analysis because there are a lot of different data collection methods. The footnote to each indiator on how the data is provided in each country shows the differences in data sources. Development and improvement of both the Norwegian and Nordic quality indicators is a continuous process. More indicators that can measure or give an indication of the quality of dental services are desirable. Many items can not currently be measured due to sub-optimal data quality and little reporting requirements for private dental services.
