International experiences with primary health care teams

26.06.2024 - Health and life science

This week, Erik Magnus Sæther, Emilie Aandahl, Kine Pedersen, and Hanna Isabel Løyland participated in a research workshop on international experiences with primary health care teams. The workshop brought together researchers from Norway, France, Germany, and Canada, in addition to representatives from the Norwegian Directorate of Health and the Ministry of Health and Care Services.

The workshop was organized as part of a project where Oslo Economics, the University of Oslo, and the Norwegian Centre for Rural Medicine evaluated the trial of primary health care teams in Norway, commissioned by the Norwegian Directorate of Health.

The investigation relies on Norwegian registry data from hospitals and pharmacies.

Evaluation of measures in primary healthcare services

On behalf of the Norwegian Directorate of Health, Oslo Economics and the University of Oslo, in collaboration with several subject matter experts, are conducting a follow-up evaluation of measures in primary healthcare services. This year’s evaluation shows that the situation for general practitioners appears to have improved, while there are still significant challenges related to the population’s access to general medical services.

Analysis of the marginal costs of activity growth in the Norwegian specialist health service

Oslo Economics, in collaboration with Sverre Kittelsen (Frisch Centre), Kjartan Sarheim Anthun (SINTEF) and Jon Magnussen (NTNU), has calculated the marginal costs associated with increasing the activity levels in the Norwegian specialist health service. The study is part of the foundation for the Norwegian government’s recently announced healthcare plan and has been conducted on the behalf of the Ministry of Health and Care Services.
