Following months of criticism over the Cosmic system in Region Dalarna—including doctors' demands for a failure commission and reports of patient safety risks—the government has tasked E-hälsomyndigheten with a national failure investigation of the journal systems market. Region councilor Elin Norén (S) welcomes the move but calls for reforms to public procurement law.
The government has initiated a 'failure investigation' of the market for journal systems (healthcare information systems), assigning the task to E-hälsomyndigheten. This follows widespread issues with the Cosmic system in Region Dalarna, where doctors have reported poor working conditions, reduced efficiency, and threats to patient safety—leading to demands for an external commission to break the contract, which region leadership rejected.
Region councilor Elin Norén (S) welcomes the decision: "The government's decision to appoint a 'failure investigation' of the journal systems market is welcomed," she told Dala-Demokraten. However, she stresses it falls short of addressing the root cause: flaws in public procurement law that hinder better system choices.
