(Part B) Person-centred and integrated care – shifting to a system designed for humans


In this presentation, you´ll hear how we lead, support and monitor the transition towards a more integrated and person centered health and care system. Based on the Swedish movement, you will be asked to reflect upon how you can achieve a more integrated person centered care in your own organisation.

(Part C) Framing quality improvement – Empowerment to co-create a resourceful municipal health care


A reform has been underway since 2017 to create a sustainable health care system in which patients and their relatives feel that they are involved and confident, and in which employees choose to work. This presentation offers experiences to help develop and implement models to govern and define quality in municipal care.
