Sosiaali- ja terveyspalveluiden kehittämisen prosessimalli, esimerkkinä Lahti
Abstrakti
ln Lahti it was decided that cost cutting in its
traditional sense and rationalisation measures
without a clear framework for development and
clearly set objectives had come to its end.
Management of Lahti decided to launch a
comprehensive program for the development of the
secondary health care and welfare services. ln
Lahti region the death rate due to illnesses, for
which a normal person of over 65 years of age
should not die, is higher than normal. When
analysed in more detail, it was discovered that
socio-economic factors were the cause of these
premature deaths. Because of this, it was decided
that it is crucial to start developing the services in
co-operation with the service providers in both
health care and welfare sectors. This study
analyses the aims and the realisation of the
development project carried out in Lahti's
secondary health care and welfare services.
