Background information
The need for care is increasing with an ageing population, while more efficient and customer-oriented solutions are in demand. Quality differences and deficiencies in elderly care have been recognized as a welfare challenge in recent years, and municipalities face growing challenges to ensure high-quality care with limited resources.
Challenge
An important element of systematic quality work in care is national quality monitoring. The existing data material is good, but it is scattered, difficult to interpret and time-consuming to process.
Implementation
Together with eight municipalities, Sirona developed the web-based tool Omsorgsanalys, partly funded by Vinnova. The tool compiles all public data in elderly care, disability care and individual and family care. In Omsorgsanalys, it is possible to compare and analyze quality and cost data between and within municipalities to identify priority areas for quality development and learning.
Outcome
Omsorgsanalys is one of Sweden's largest databases in municipal care and social services, and is used today by managers, politicians and employees to easily visualize, analyze, compare and communicate available results at municipal and unit level. The analysis tool enables, among other things, comparisons with other municipalities and units, trend analysis and correlation analysis through clear visualization, which creates the conditions for focused improvement work and increased quality in care.
