Hälso- och sjukvård: administration och ledning

När Västra Götalandsregionen lanserade journalsystemet Millennium i november 2024 lovade politikerna en ny era för vården. Istället lamslog det hela sjukvården. Efter bara tre dygn tvingades regionen dra i nödbromsen. "Millenniumskandalen – Journalsystemet som havererade" berättar historien om ett av Sveriges största it-fiaskon. Om miljardrullning och amerikanska techjättar, om olagliga system, om tjänstemän och politiker som ignorerade varningssignalerna, om personal och patienter som drabbades – och om varför offentlig sektor gång på gång misslyckas med sina it-projekt.

MED NYSKRIVET FÖRORD

NOMINERADE TILL STORA JOURNALISTPRISET & GULDSPADEN

Konsulterna är berättelsen om hur ett nytt oprövat vårdkoncept -- värdebaserad vård -- infördes på Sveriges största universitetssjukhus, med hjälp av bolaget Boston Consulting Group. Trots enorma protester från sjukhusets anställda.

Värdebaserad vård, lovar BCG, ska revolutionera hela sjukvården och göra Karolinska till en världsomtalad pionjär. Men efter en rad avslöjanden om enorma fakturabelopp och misstänkta intressekonflikter avslutar sjukhuset samarbetet med konsulterna. Karolinska tvingas hantera hål i budgeten, massflykt av anställda och patienter som dör i växande operationsköer.

När journalisterna Anna Gustafsson och Lisa Röstlund börjar nysta i trådarna kring konsultbolaget visar det sig snart att även andra värden än svenska patienters står på spel. Intressena i värdebaserad vård sträcker sig långt bortom landets gränser och in i såväl läkemedelsindustrin som forskarvärlden. Och längre in i maktens korridorer än vad någon kunnat ana.

»Konsulterna är en makalös berättelse om en lika makalös nutid ... Det här är utan tvekan en av decenniets viktigaste fackböcker.« -- Svenska Dagbladet

»Konsulterna är en på alla vis chockerande läsupplevelse. Visst vet vi att det finns ruffel och båg, men i Sverige, i den här omfattningen, på alla nivåer, och bland forskare, politiker och konsulter?« -- Åsa Moberg i Dagens Nyheter

»Det är intressant och väldigt upprörande att läsa den här kartläggningen ... den är otroligt välskriven ... man behöver inte bo i Stockholm för att vara intresserad, för de här tankegångarna har funnits i Göteborg, Uppsala och marknadsförs också ute i Europa.« -- P1 Kultur, Sveriges Radio

»En obehaglig berättelse om vad som kan hända när grundläggande samhälleliga principer sätts ur spel och konsulters locksånger blir för starka, och samtidigt en påminnelse om värdet av modiga och envisa journalister.« -- Läkartidningen

»Boken är ett gripande och elegant aktstycke där författarna lägger pusselbit till pusselbit i denna hisnande berättelse.« -- Sydsvenskan

»Konsulterna bygger på flera år av gediget grävande. Det är påfrestande bara att läsa boken. Än värre är insikten att den systematiska dumheten på nytt härskar oåtkomlig för sakliga invändningar.« -- Aftonbladet

Hälso- och sjukvården står i dag inför en rad ekonomiska, demografiska och medicinska utmaningar. Hur den ska styras och organiseras blir därför en angelägen fråga.

Den här boken, som nu kommer i sin andra upplaga, beskriver några av de styrmodeller som har tillämpats inom vården under de senaste decennierna. Hit hör exempelvis beställarstyrning, kundvalsmodellen, balanserad styrning, teamarbete, prestationsfinansiering och processorientering. Författarna lyfter fram fördelar och nackdelar med de olika modellerna och visar vad de tenderar att leda till på kort respektive lång sikt.

Boken riktar sig till studenter inom företagsekonomi, nationalekonomi, statsvetenskap, offentlig förvaltning, socialt arbete, sociologi och arbetsvetenskap, samt till praktiskt yrkesverksamma inom hälso- och sjukvård. Den kan med fördel läsas även av tjänstemän, politiker och forskare med intresse för hur framtidens hälso- och sjukvård ska styras och organiseras.

Om författarnaJohan Berlin är professor i företagsekonomi med inriktning mot offentlig organisation och verksam vid Högskolan Väst, Trollhättan. Gustaf Kastberg Weichselberger är professor i offentlig förvaltning och verksam vid Förvaltningshögskolan, Göteborgs universitet.

Sagt om boken"Den är pedagogisk och lätt att förstå med många konkreta exempel." Helhetsbetyg: 4. Publicerat i BTJ-häftet nr 9, 2021. Lektör Jorun Koca Jakobsson.

Nya Karolinska Solna (NKS) har fått stor medial uppmärksamhet under senare år. Sjukhusbygget har pågått under lång tid, rymt en stor budget och berört många människor. Det har ömsom hyllats, ömsom ifrågasatts. Här redovisas resultaten av ett treårigt forskningsprojekt som har undersökt beslutsprocesserna bakom NKS.  

Boken handlar om de idéer som har varit betydelsefulla i beslutsprocesserna, om de aktörer som har agerat i dessa processer och om hur processerna har organiserats och kontrollerats. Ambitionen är att öka förståelsen för och kunskapen om den typ av komplexa beslutsprocesser som kännetecknar megaprojekt som NKS. Projektet har bedrivits vid Stockholms universitet i ett samarbete mellan Statsvetenskapliga institutionen, Stockholms centrum för forskning om offentlig sektor (Score) och Kulturgeografiska institutionen.
