Important results from the project

SamKlin explored how the Central Sweden Healthcare Region can strengthen its capacity to attract and conduct more clinical trials, by addressing the need for new approaches to governance, leadership and decision-making across organizational boundaries. We identified strong research environments but also challenges related to fragmented processes, long lead times and limited research support. A more coordinated collaboration model is needed to improve capacity, efficiency and attractiveness.

Expected long term effects

The project is expected to contribute to a more integrated infrastructure for clinical trials in Central Sweden, with shorter and more predictable start-up processes. This will create better conditions for attracting, initiating and conducting more clinical studies, while also providing patients with more equitable access to participation in research and clinical trials.

Approach and implementation

The project was implemented as planned through an overall assessment based on surveys, interviews and dialogue with regions, industry, CROs, and patient and professional representatives. The approach proved effective and provided a solid basis for analysis, shared conclusions and followed the timeline. Although influenced by differing regional conditions and priorities, collaboration among the participating stakeholders worked well and contributed to a shared vision for future development.
