Enhancing healthcare through cross-border collaboration

In Sweden healthcare is decentralised. Regions are responsible for primary and specialist care, while municipalities handle home healthcare. This division allows for care to be tailored to local needs but can also create challenges with coordination and oversight, especially regarding the entire patient care journey. Through the project “Good and Close Care”, where research from Halmstad University played a central role, the collaboration partners have worked to improve healthcare quality, coordination, and to promote more person-centred care.
