Did we choose the right objects? Comments from the inspectors The health care services knew their status in the different registers and did not question the model. It gave us credability that we used the same selection model throughout the country. The data was spot on. Lessons learned Did we choose the right objects? Comments from the inspectors National registers do not always reflect current status. Non reporting to registers does not necessarily indicate malfunctioning.
