An information-driven approach to improving unscheduled care in an integrated care system – a collaborative approach across silos

Content

This provider-initiated project outlines Region Halland's patient-centered and system-wide approach to enhancing unscheduled care through an information-driven strategy. The key focus is to reduce non-value-adding activities across healthcare trajectories, ensuring that patient care is prioritized at all stages. By leveraging data analysis and collaboration across different healthcare sectors, the project aims to meet rising inpatient care demands more effectively.

The process spans the healthcare continuum, incorporating hospitals, primary care, and pre-hospital services. The initiative focuses on improving care chains by analyzing patient flows, identifying bottlenecks, and suggesting impactful interventions. A unified regional effort across silos is emphasized, with the goal of creating a cohesive and integrated care system.

Collaboration is a central theme, involving multiple healthcare departments to foster continuous dialogue and data sharing. This strategy promotes a cultural shift towards a more open and learning-oriented environment, driving improvements across the system. The goal is to establish a joint platform for prioritizing development initiatives based on data-driven insights, leading to significant improvements in patient outcomes and overall care efficiency.
