Care has limited resources - how should they be fairly distributed?

The National Centre for Priorities in Health is the Swedish knowledge centre on setting priorities in health and social care. We conduct and support research on priority setting within health care and function as skill support to state agencies, county councils, municipalities, and clinical management in the health service.

Looking into Priority Setting in Sweden

Background - Why priority setting in health care?

In Sweden there are general guidelines on priority setting which were ratified by the Swedish Parliament in 1997.

The ethical platform for priority setting

In Sweden three ethical principles guide priority setting in the health service and they have been included in the Health and Medical Services Act.

National model for open priority setting within health care

A tool for translating the government guidelines on priority setting in healthcare and the ethical platform to real-world priority setting.
