Abstract: Abstract Health care is regarded to be one of the pillars of today’s welfare societies, and an area that concerns citizens, professionals and politicians. It is also an area that is under constant debate and transformation. During recent decades, health care organizations have undergone a number of different reforms and can, in principal, be described as an experimental workshop where various concepts and models are tested. These models and concepts are put forward as solutions to a number of different problems with which health care is wrestling. In the encounter between the solutions that are being introduced and established practice, different institutional logics are set against one another.
