Objectives:

The primary objective of the HELSEOMSORG programme is to identify the most effective methods of organising, managing, financing and delivering high-quality health and care services, lowering the incidence of undesirable incidents, minimising differences in people’s access to health services, and providing better security for the individual patient and user.

In particular, activities under the programme will be aimed at developing satisfactory, effective health and care services at the local level and increasing insight into how the municipal services may be strengthened in cooperation with families, local communities and the specialist health care services. The programme will also promote research on financing, organisation, management and prioritising within the specialist health care services, thus helping to strengthen the knowledge base underlying – and framework for – planning, prioritisation, organisation, management, funding and development of the overall health and care service. Furthermore, activities will be targeted towards attaining the equitable distribution of services and increasing the active involvement of users, staff and family members, thereby enhancing safety and welfare, especially for those with a long-term need for treatment and/or care. Importance will be attached to achieving greater focus on user perspectives in research.

The programme will give priority to the following thematic areas of research:

• Patients and users of the health and care services
• Cooperation
• Management, leadership, planning, financing and prioritising

Please see the work programme (see link on right), which describes the thematic basis and secondary objectives of the HELSEOMSORG programme (2011-2015).
