About the Customer

Region Värmland is responsible for providing healthcare services to over 280,000 residents in Värmland County, Sweden. Each day, approximately 2,100 patients visit the region's doctors and healthcare providers. With more than 8,200 employees, Region Värmland plays a vital role in delivering what they proudly call "world-class quality of life" for the residents of the county.   

The challenge

Region Värmland strives to offer efficient and accessible care to all its residents. However, with the support of the PLICS (Patient Level Information and Costing System) calculations provided by LOGEX, it became obvious that the number of contacts with local healthcare providers, for the most fragile patients in the region, was often high, which made the care chain cumbersome. A time-consuming process for patients with high care needs, as well as potential inefficiency in how the available resources were being used, led to the question: how can we better utilise and optimise the care resources in the region to ensure the best and most effective care for our most fragile patients?

Our solution

To answer this, Region Värmland partnered with LOGEX consultants to expand the calculation and thereby obtain documentation and data which represents the entire care chain. In addition, they included ambulance services in their PLICS calculations to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how patients accessed care across the system. 
 

This extended dataset was then used to support the implementation of mobile local healthcare teams—multidisciplinary units able to meet patients with more flexibility and eliminate unnecessary steps in the care process.  

Through regular follow-up using LOGEX Costing, Region Värmland was able to clearly track how the initiative led to significant improvements, for example, in ambulance operations, by redirecting care more effectively and efficiently across the system.

Our Impact

With LOGEX's support, Region Värmland was, for the first time, able to clearly demonstrate the economic impact of initiatives beyond the specific units where investments had been made. It became evident that deploying mobile teams in just one care unit reduced the need for hospital admissions and ambulance transport, while also enabling more personalised and effective care for patients.
