The Swedish Health Consumer Index 2005: Kalmar county stays at top - Worse access, IT service improv
Also in 2005 the Kalmar county council provides the most consumer-oriented health care. This is the outcome when the Swedish Health Consumer Index 2005 today was published in Stockholm. The lowest point was given to the Uppsala county.
Since the 2004 Index the 21 Swedish councils have improved re consumer-friendly use of IT, as for booking appointments at a distance. The waiting time situation though seems to have grown worse with not one single county being able to treat every referred patient within 12 weeks (the time limit to be used by the national treatment guarantee to start Nov 1 this year).
