1. Healthcare in Sweden is tax-funded and managed by county councils, of which Stockholm County Council is one of the largest. Stockholm County Council owns and operates most healthcare providers in the region, including Karolinska University Hospital.
2. Stockholm County Council has initiated a "Future Plan" to expand and build new hospitals to address the growing population and provide more accessible and innovative healthcare. This includes the construction of the new Karolinska Solna hospital.
3. Karolinska University Hospital is undergoing a transformation with the goal of implementing value-based healthcare principles to improve outcomes and lower costs. This includes reorganizing care around over 280 defined patient groups and appointing patient flow captains to

was founded in 1958
Examples of registries relevant for the cancer area
âą National Cancer Registry (1958) identifying secondary cancers
âą Out-patient prescription registry (2005)
âą Multi generation/twin registry (MEB, KI)
âą In patient registry (hospitalization- side effects)
âą Regional tumour specific registries (breast cancer started in Stockholm around 1976- date
primary diagnosis, primary tumour characteristics, primary therapy, date & site for relapse)
âą National registry INCA (2008) for several cancer types
âą Pathology data bases
âą Socioeconomic registries (socioeconomic situation e.g. early retirement)
âą Death cause registry

model, we have put a lot of effort into
understanding our patient groups
âą Prostate cancer â diagnosis or
suspicions of diagnos can be confirmed
at an early stage and is followed by
distinct diagnostic and treatment
activities
âą Abdominal pain â may be the result of
a number of underlying conditions but
similar diagnostic activities required
regardless
âą Elderly with multimorbidity â require
a holistic view and special care for their
specific needs to be met
