Operational Content Project

The new Karolinska Solna administration started the main project Operational content in February 2009, with the mission to define basic, specialized, advanced and highly specialized care and to survey and analyse medical content within Karolinska and other Stockholm County hospitals. The project's mission included to propose which activities currently conducted at other hospitals should be included in the new University Hospital and which activities currently conducted at the Karolinska University Hospital Solna should not be included. The mission was also to describe and suggest a concept for organizing the university hospital of the future, based on medical themes.

The project Operational content ended up with a report in March 2011, used as a strategic supplement to the County Council Assembly decision on an overall service conductive for health care of the future in the Stockholm region including the role for the new university hospital.

Project organization
The project leaders for the Operational content project are the Head Physicians, Annelie Liljegren and Erland Löfberg, both practicing as head physicians at Karolinska University hospital. Likewise, head physician Claes Roland Martling is involved in the project as a medical director.  The consulting company McKinsey has been engaged as a support for some stages of the project. The project has had several sub-groups with senior representatives of the Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm County Council and others and debriefing has taken place on an ongoing basis for the Trade Union Liaison Group of the New Karolinska Solna administration.

Earlier, a large number of interviews with representatives from health care have been carried out within the framework of the project and several internationally leading university hospitals have been studied and visited as a reference.
