Font size

En uppföljning som skulle ske efter några veckor dröjde flera månader. Det var inte förrän patienten själv hörde av sig som hen fick komma på ett återbesök.

Där kunde vården konstatera att patienten fått total näthinneavlossning och uttalad synnedsättning. Patienten remitterades till universitetsklinik för operation men synen gick inte att rädda.

Chefsläkaren har till följd av detta gjort en Lex Maria anmälan till Inspektionen för vård och omsorg, IVO. Verksamheten har utrett händelsen och kommit fram till flera orsaker som gjorde att patienten inte fick rätt vård i tid.

Trying to get care – an everyday struggle against bureaucracy

The author describes his personal experiences of trying to book an annual skin check through the 1177 care system and encountering obstacles such as changed booking rules, missed calls and automatic messages saying the case is closed even though the problem remains. The text criticizes the bureaucratic handling of care contacts and compares it to similar systems in the workplace where cases can be closed without the user's consent.

The Tobias register needs more donors with a non-European background and guys

Tobiasregistret, Sweden's registry for blood stem cell donors, reports that the chance of finding a suitable donor is 70 percent among all patients, but only between 10 and 30 percent for patients with a non-European background. The registry is calling for more donors with non-European background as well as more guys to increase the matching possibilities, as the tissue type is inherited and crucial to the success of the transplant.

The authority for care and care analysis maps the growing market for privately funded ADHD and autism care

The authority for health and care analysis has mapped the rapidly growing market for privately funded investigations and treatments for ADHD and autism. Turnover has increased by 300 percent in six years for healthcare providers with only private funding. The authority warns of problematic marketing on social media that may conflict with the Medical Association's rules and influence the decisions of vulnerable patients. Many private actors do not report data to the National Board of Health and Welfare's patient register, which makes quality comparisons with public care difficult. The final report is expected in a year.
