Stress and strategies in care systems: the Scandinavian experience

Svein Olav Daatland

Social Science & Medicine, 1994, vol. 38, issue 7, 867-874

Abstract: The gap between needs and public care resources will probably expand, and in order to bridge this gap, available resources must be used more adequately and efficiently. Other relevant strategies are to moderate demands on the public resources, either by trying to reduce the demands themselves, and /or by redirecting them towards the private sector. All these strategies may be observed in the Scandinavian countries in the latter years. What are the experiences, and to what extent may they be generalized?
