Abstract:

In recent years the Swedish debate on health policy has been focusing on resource allocation between primary care versus secondary care, private care versus public care, and prevention versus care. The National Commission on the “Swedish Health Services in the 1990s” brought attention to the prevailing inequalities in health. The Health Policy Bill of 1985 defines the reduction of inequalities in health as a major target of national health policy. The health policy measures discussed are mainly outside the health care sector.

Abstract:

BackgroundSwedish child health services (CHS) is a free-of-charge healthcare system that reaches almost all children under the age of 6. The aim for the CHS is to improve children’s physical, psychological and social health by promoting health and development, preventing illness and detecting emerging problems early in the child’s life. The services are defined in a national programme divided into three parts: universal interventions, targeted interventions and indicated interventions.The Swedish Child Health Services Register (BHVQ) is a national Quality Register developed in 2013.

Abstract:

Election to the parliament was held in Sweden on 9 September 2018. None of the traditional political blocks obtained a majority of the vote. The nationalist Sweden Democrats party increased their share of the vote from 13% in 2014 elections to 17% of the vote in 2018. As no traditional political block wants to collaborate with the Sweden Democrats, no new government has yet been formed, more than 2 months after the election. Health care was a prominent issue in the elections. Health care in Sweden is universal and tax-funded, with a strong emphasis on equity. However, recent reforms have empha

We estimate how much caregiving men and women respectively do, and how much of the caregiving is done by older (65+) and younger persons, inside their household and for other households, in Spain and in Sweden. To assess this, we use self-reported hours of caregiving from two national surveys about caregiving, performed in 2014 (Spain, N = 2003; Sweden, N = 1193). Spain and Sweden have dissimilar household structures, and different social services for older (65+) persons. Caregivers, on average, provide many more hours of care in Spain than in Sweden.

One important part of this disaster preparedness is education and training.

Patients seeking medical care are traveling greater distances for treatment. The globalization of health care has given rise to a thriving global medical services industry. The ability to gain access to more advanced treatments and differences in cost and inflexible national health care systems encourage patients to seek treatment abroad. In the new information age, patients seek information about available treatment opportunities with less regard to national boundaries. International hospitals are seeking new marketing strategies for their services. Today, much of the marketing takes place on

Abstract The use of private consultants in child protection investigations in Sweden is an evolving practice that occurs under the radar; it is not in the political agenda and it is obscure in relation to legislation. The aim of this article is to analyse the contextual forces, facilitators and intentions behind the ongoing implementation of privatisation in child protection investigations. For this article, both quantitative and qualitative data for the years 2013–2017 were obtained through a telephone questionnaire. Managers of 32 social services departments were interviewed.

Abstract:

Abstract Psychiatric care in Sweden is jointly organized by psychiatric practice and municipal social services. To determine who is entitled to support from the municipalities, the concept of “psychiatric disability” was created in connection with psychiatric reform in 1995. Psychiatric disability is a poorly identified concept and in Sweden, a person has severe mental illness (SMI) if they have difficulties in carrying out activities in crucial areas of life, these difficulties are caused by a mental disorder, and they are prolonged. Internationally, SMI is often synonymous with psychosis, bu

Almost an equal proportion of articles are funded and non-funded, with the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health, both in the United States, as the leading sponsors.

Abstract In 2010 the Swedish government made a large investment to improve the quality of care for the “frailest older adults” but there have been few follow-ups of the care of this group.

Methods: In 2014, 9 National Quality Registries, 3 Care Registries (drug-, patient and death-registers) and the registry for care and social services for older persons (SOL) were individually matched to an older population in the Swedish Twin Registry (n≈45000).
