The formulated goal of mapping palliative care is the development and dissemination of palliative care nationally and internationally. A process of identification and ranking of the development of palliative care and end-of-life care both in Europe and globally has gained momentum over the last 10 years. Overall, Denmark (DK) has obtained relatively low scores in comparative studies. The development of palliative care as a special area of expertise in DK began in the early 1990s. National-level coordination and documentation have only recently been initiated. Taking DK as a case study, this article examines national data and the 2010 Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) survey, the latter of which in particular aroused political interest in DK. The authors conclude that the national surveys as well as the EIU survey have limited validity in assessing the quality of palliative care and end-of-life care in DK. The same may be assumed to apply to other countries. Increased focus on qualitative methods and local contexts is needed
