RIKSÄT – The national quality register for eating disorder treatment

RIKSÄT is the national quality register for eating disorder treatment. The purpose of the register is to get a better view of the field of eating disorder treatment in Sweden and to improve quality of care. Another one of the stated objectives is to enable clinical research. By participating in the quality register Riksät you are contributing to the improvement of care and treatment.
The information in Riksät is used as a basis for improvement in the treatment units around the country. The quality register also contributes to new knowledge on how to improve our methods of treatment for different patient groups, and the more people who participate, the more reliable the results. Riksät constitutes a base for recruitment to the research study ANGI.

STEPWISE

Kunskapscentrum för ätstörningar i Stockholm (KÄTS) has developed a special quality assurance system called Stepwise. This involves gradually following the progress of all patients starting treatment. Patients who are invited to assessment interviews must answer the same questions. The assessment interview is conducted by means of a semi-structured methodology, which means that the interviewer follows a specific list of questions. The purpose of the information collected using Stepwise is that treatment units systematically should be able to evaluate the treatment of eating disorders as well as to conduct research on issues concerning the treatment of eating disorders. The ANGI study collaborates with Stepwise.
