PART ONE – Precision and passion – the art of making population health actionable

Welcome to a learning café for actionable population health! In this workshop we will explore how community-based data can empower improvements for population health in three different parts of Sweden, all connecting a wide range of community actors with a place-based and systematic approach. The session has a strong focus on ways to improve the precision in population health, reaching vulnerable groups by mapping both protective factors for health, as well as risk factors for preventing illness.

Meet representatives from Communities That Care (Malmö City), the SEEK-model (Child health in Region Blekinge) and Community data profiles (Region Östergötland). 

The workshop is led by the Swedish Association for Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR)

After this session, participants will be able to: 

• Adapt successful strategies for population health


• Enhance the precision in population health – connect community actors with data-based approaches


• Bring health promotion and protective factors to the decision-making table

PART TWO – Quality for the future – new ways of thinking with the multidimensional model

As we enter the post COVID era we cannot return to the past concepts of quality. In this session we will provide learners the opportunity to think differently and challenge the status quo. We will demonstrate a new multidimensional quality model, that integrates care for patients, kin and professionals. Incorporating the original six IOM dimensions, the model includes climate change and its impact on healthcare. Central to the model are values of dignity, respect, kindness, a holistic vision, and coproduction built on never-ending learning, transparency and leadership. We will show how it is used in daily practice in healthcare organisations who are supported in their search for excellence and quality maturity.

• After this session, participants will be able to: Understand and apply the new theoretical model


• Convince and influence your co-stakeholders in the value of multidimensionality


• Explain and demonstrate how the model is brought into daily practice
