An increasing amount of money paid each year to persons injured in the Swedish health care and the number of reports of damage also increases, even within Region Skåne. Mostly, it damages incurred in hospital.
Patient insurance LÖF, county councils Mutual Insurance Company, is responsible for paying compensation to patients injured in healthcare.
Injuries in dentistry and district health accounts for a small portion, while injuries in hospitals is the most common notification – nearly 75 percent.
– The most common injuries are within the operating heavy areas such as orthopedics and surgery, for example, says Helena Olsson, head of communications at the Patient Insurance LÖF.
In Skåne Region reported a total of 1522 injuries last year, and the number has increased every year.
I think Patient insurance has to do with an increased propensity rather than become more injuries.
– We know that health care is more work on patient safety issues today, says Helena Olsson, head of communications at the Patient Insurance LÖF.
