Sluttrapport fra Troms-Ofoten-prosjektet

Abstract

The present report is the final report from the Troms-Ofoten-project. The background for this report is a decision of the Superior Cooperation Organ (OSO) OSO decision 13.13. The Troms-Ofoten-project started in 2008. The ideas were presented to the OSO in Case 15.10. The project was visionary and ahead of its time. Work on the project has meant that health services in the area have developed innovative health care models. Some of these models have been developed as separate policy documents or projects with an ideological foundation based on the ideas of the Troms-Ofoten-project. The report contains a brief summary of the history of the Troms-Ofoten-project and strategy documents that serve as the framework the present service in the region. After this follows a chapter on the projects that can serve as a natural continuation of the TromsOfoten-project and also other projects that can serve as inspiration for the future health care in the area. The next chapter report on the results of work in patient-centred healthcare and patient care, interaction statistics as well as health promotion and prevention, followed by visions for future research. The final chapter contains recommendations for follow-up. The most important message from the report is to unconditionally put the patient and his or her ability to be autonomous at the core of all care. Clinical practice and organizational measures should be adapted to this objective so that it is easy and motivating for patients and health professionals to work together to achieve this goal.
