KL on FHIR

Kommunernes Landsforening (KL), translated as the Danish Local Government Association, is an influential organization in Denmark that represents and advocates for the interests of the country's municipalities. Founded in 1891, KL serves as a platform for collaboration, dialogue, and collective decision-making among local governments. With its primary goal of promoting local democracy, KL works closely with the government, parliamentary members, and other relevant stakeholders to shape legislation and policies that affect municipalities. The association's core values revolve around ensuring strong, efficient, and citizen-centric governance at the local level. KL facilitates knowledge sharing and best practices among municipalities, fostering cooperation and innovation in areas such as public administration, finance, infrastructure, and social services. It provides a forum for municipal leaders and officials to exchange experiences, discuss common challenges, and collectively find solutions. Furthermore, KL plays a crucial role in negotiating labor agreements on behalf of municipalities, striving to ensure fair and sustainable working conditions for public employees across the country. As a driving force for local government development, Kommunernes Landsforening serves as a unifying entity that empowers municipalities to collectively address common issues, contribute to national policy-making, and deliver quality services to Danish citizens.
