Monitoring system for transparency and data driven improvements in the area of functional impairments

Purpose and goal

A prototype, a web based application, has been developed to make fact-based support available in order to facilitate monitoring and increased transparency of interventions for people with Functional Impairments. The application shows indicators that describe quality, resource consumption, preconditions, structure and processes for all Swedish municipalities. The indicators have been developed in collaboration with representatives from municipalities, academia, lobby groups as well as relatives to the target group.

Expected results and effects

The project has verified the need and demand for fact-based support systems for monitoring and increased transparency. An application for continuous monitoring and benchmarking was developed within the project. The application provides support to municipalities in identifying areas for improvement, conducting continuous improvement efforts and prioritizing efforts/investments, as well as in uniting and spreading insight into municipalities’ own organizations, to citizens and to learn from other municipalities.

Planned approach and implementation

A multidisciplinary expert group, consisting of different experiences, competencies and perspectives, was formed to explore how fact-based information can be shaped in order to catalyze development towards better and more equal outcomes, as well as a higher degree of target compliance in relation to resource usage. Within the group, a survey of critical areas and issues was conducted. Based on the results of the survey, desirable indicators were formulated. The application was designed to meet different stakeholders’ needs for information, analysis and data visualization.
