Planned approach and implementation

OMTÄNKT is carried out by stakeholders at national, regional and local levels together with civil society, academia and citizens, drawing on expertise in areas such as person-centred care, digitalization, governance, law and system design for complex systems. The work is grounded in real needs and resources of patients, families, employees and managers, and uses policy lab methods to iteratively test, refine and spread new and concrete governance and collaboration solutions.
