The Swedish system for compensation of patient injuries.

Abstract:

:Since 1975 Sweden has had a patient insurance system to compensate patients for health-related injuries. The system was initially based on a voluntary patient insurance solution, but in 1997 it was replaced by the Patient Insurance Act. The current Act covers both physical and mental injuries. Although about 9,000-10,000 cases are processed in Sweden annually, compensation is paid in barely half of these cases. In the Swedish patient injury claim processing system, the Patient Claims Panel is the authority that plays an important role in ensuring fair and consistent application of the Act.

  • Studies of drug-treated diabetes in the county of Jämtland, Sweden, based on prescription of insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs.

    abstract::Epidemiological data on drug-treated diabetes mellitus was obtained by analyzing prescriptions of insulin and oral antidiabetics in the county of Jämtland Sweden. During a 12-year period, from 1971 to 1982, the prevalence of diabetes increased from 1.5% to 2.2%, while there was no significant change in the annual inci...
