Summary
This webpage outlines the role and purpose of the Norwegian Healthcare Investigation Board (NHIB)—or 'Ukom' in Norwegian—an independent government agency set up in 2019. NHIB investigates serious adverse events and other serious concerns involving Norwegian healthcare services, aiming to improve patient and user safety by learning for improvement. Its investigations focus on systems and processes in healthcare, identifying factors that could have led, or could potentially lead, to harm for patients.
On this page, you can also access NHIB reports and summary reports that have been translated into English, including:
- Death at a psychiatric intensive care ward: Risk factors in conjunction with seclusion
- Early diagnosis and treatment of serious illness in the febrile child
- Adolescents with mental health issues
- Investigation following the tragic drowning in Tromsø: What can we learn about integration and refugee health?
