Skåne Care – Swedish Healthcare Excellence 3

WHY SWEDEN?

TOP-RANKED HEALTHCAREThe overall quality of healthcare in Sweden is top-ranked in the European Union, according to the 2012 and 2013 Euro Health Consumer Index.

Swedish healthcare constantly strives to improve medical results. One unique way we develop is through our approximately 100 national quality registries. We use these registries for learning, improvement, research, and management to create the best possible healthcare. Plus, Sweden is well known for and is actively involved in international collaboration on specialised care, improving patient safety, and increasing patient influence. n

The Swedish healthcare system:• Produces the highest quality medical results while

keeping costs at OECD average.

• Builds on the principles of quality, reliability, and efficiency.

• Is decentralised to regional levels.

• Is largely government funded.

“The Swedish health care system is often consid-ered as a model for other countries to emulate, both because of its excellent outcomes compared to OECD countries and several well- developed strategies to assure and improve the quality of its healthcare” ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEWS OF HEALTH CARE QUALITY: SWEDEN 2013


WHY SKÅNE?

OUR FUSION OF RESEARCH AND CLINICAL PRACTICEHealthcare in Skåne is outstanding because of collaborations among academic institutions, industries, and clinics. Every day in Skåne, research and clinical practice integrate and interact to push healthcare forward.

For example, Skåne University Hospital is the third largest university hospital in Sweden, offering unique expertise in comprehensive healthcare, medical training, and frontline research. Lund University is the largest university in Scandinavia and is one of the top 100 in the world. Together, their close associ-ation allows for integrating groundbreaking research into medical services that support outstanding patient care in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Research and clinical collaboration has enriched Skåne’s healthcare system for decades. For example, global medical technology company Gambro, based in Skåne, was established in the early 1960s. It developed from the first clinical artificial kidney invented by Professor Nils Alwall at Lund University.

Currently, a major regional focus is eHealth, an area where highly skilled companies collaborate with care providers to develop tools for a viable eHealth market. These tools help create completely new opportunities to provide healthcare and health information. Regional innovation facilities like Medicon Village in Lund offer a unique environment for growing knowledge and companies within the life sciences. n

Building the future of research in SkåneTwo major facilities are currently under construction in Skåne.

The MAX IV Laboratory will be a world-leading synchrotron

radiation laboratory. European Spallation Source, a European

facility, will house the world’s most powerful neutron source.

“The world-class public healthcare, training and research performed in Skåne continue to change the course of modern patient care. International cooperation is an integral part of our day-to-day activities and an important part of the treatment we offer today’s and future patients.”INGRID BENGTSSON–RIJAVEC, DIRECTOR OF HEALTH AND MEDICAL CARE AT REGION SKÅNE AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD SKÅNE CARE

OUR INTERNATIONAL PATIENT OFFER

GIVE YOUR PATIENTS WORLD-CLASS CARE Skåne Care offers international patients access to medical treatment with world-class results. Patients can receive everything from medical evaluations and second opinions to advanced surgeries, highly specialised treatments, and long-term rehabilita-tion programmes.

Requesting care is easy. Skåne Care navigates the process and makes all adminstrative and financial arrangements on the Swedish side. A devoted and efficient team is ready to help, just an email or phone call away. Our team focuses on the details, so patients focus on the care. For individual patients or groups of patients, we can also coordinate:

• Transportation to/from airport-accommodation-hospital.

• Accommodation – with or without a kitchenette.

• Interpreters inside and outside the hospital.

• Back-up functions for practical advice and support.

• Supporting documents for visa requests.

Skåne Care and our partners work to ensure that patients’ needs are thoroughly evaluated and met. This dedication reflects the Swedish healthcare system as a whole, where patient safety is the guiding principle in care delivery. For example, infection control measures have secured a low prevalence of MRSA, which means patients run a much lower risk of contracting multi-resistant bacteria in Swedish hospitals than elsewhere. n

“The medical professionals were dedicated and the outcome is very positive. Today I have a happy son who can walk.”SULTAN AL RASHIDI

Individual patients can request medical treatment trough skanecare.com. For groups of patients, please contact our team.

“The specialist medical training program in Skåne is well structured to provide you with a good working and learning environment. The direct supervision of a mentor and continuous assessment is also a feature in Sweden. As an international doctor you get the same opportunity to develop in the profession as the swedish doctors.”MOHAMMAD KAMIL JAN, INTERNATIONAL DOCTOR UNDER SPECIALIST MEDICAL TRAINING IN SKÅNE

OUR SPECIALIST MEDICAL TRAINING FOR INTERNATIONAL DOCTORS

STUDY A SPECIALTY IN SKÅNEThrough Skåne Care, non-European doctors can earn a specialist certificate from public health authorities within clinical training. In a highly structured training programme, 1,000 international and Swedish doctors are educated side-by-side with healthcare professionals and researchers. The programme meets guidelines for the equivalent training of Swedish doctors and is regulated by the National Board of Health and Welfare. All training occurs at university hospitals and public training hospitals.

Mastering Swedish is vital to gain the most from clinical training – and for doctors and their families to integrate more smoothly into society.

Caring for children and families in LundMultidisciplinary teams work

together at the Children’s Hospital to

meet children’s medical, emotional,

cognitive, and psychosocial needs.

The hospital offers the latest

therapies, diagnostic tools, and

clinical trials in a family-friendly envi-

ronment. Other needs are cared for

too, like a hospital school, playroom,

sibling/family support, physiotherapy,

and if necessary, accommodation.

Medical professionals with special

competence staff the all-age inten-

sive care unit for complicated heart

surgeries, surgical diseases, and acute

infectious and paediatric diseases.

Cardiothoracic surgery

Our department of cardiothoracic surgery

is the largest centre in Sweden. It is one of

two Swedish centres performing all national

inborn errors of metabolism, immuno-

deficiency) using the newest recommen-

dations of the European Group for Blood

and Bone Marrow Transplantation (EBMT

centre number CIC:283).

• Haploidentical – using a parent as the

donor. Since 1998 we have been one of

the few European centres to regularly

perform this kind of transplant for children

with therapy-resistant diseases like acute

leukemia or in case human leukocyte

antigen identical donor is not available.
