A law that came in 2018 would secure the transition of pre-treated hospital patients to the health centers, which would continue their work on follow-up care.

But despite new procedures being established in Region Halland, the region's auditors now find that there are many shortcomings when patients are discharged from the hospitals.

- The involvement of local health care in managing this could have been much better, says Jan-Erik Martinsen, chairman of the auditors in Region Halland.

One of the reasons is that the National Health Service does not consider it time.

Unclear writing

He now calls for the health centers in the local health care department to draw up coordinated individual plans at an early stage for patients to receive continued care under the auspices of the local health care.

- The routines that exist are interpreted differently in healthcare and it must indicate that there are ambiguities that you have the opportunity to interpret in your own way. It does not feel good from the patient's point of view, says Jan-Erik Martinsen.

Lack of communication

The auditors are of the opinion that the role of the National Health Service must be clarified and anchored and that there are shortcomings in the communication between the various parties. In addition to patients now falling between the chairs, the situation also results in higher load and costs in the hospitals.

- It gets crowded in healthcare and this is one of the healthcare dilemmas. Then it is important that the chain works well and there is much to do here, says Jan-Erik Martinsen.
