Trade-off between good quality and good economy : Comparisons of goals in private and public psychiatry (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Den svenska psykiatrin består idag av både privata och offentliga aktörer som agerar i ett valfrihetssystem. Valfrihetssystemet anses stimulera konkurrensen mellan sektorerna och på så vis öka effektiviteten samt kvaliteten inom sektorerna. Valfrihetssystemet har dock mött kritik som grundas i hur lönsamhet överordnar kvalitativa mål. Denna problematik anses ha sitt ursprung i new public management reformer som har influerat den offentliga sektorn att agera mer som den privata. Med utgångspunkt i denna problematik behandlar uppsatsen hur aktörerna kombinerar sina motstridiga kvalitativa och ekonomiska mål.

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur privat samt offentlig psykiatri arbetar med att kombinera kvalitativa och ekonomiska mål. 

Metod: Uppsatsen utgår från en multipel flerfallsstudie, med en abduktiv forskningsansats. 16 stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer hölls med anställda inom både privat och offentlig sektor. Dessutom har data samlats in från vetenskapliga artiklar, litteratur och elektroniska källor. 

Slutsats: Uppsatsens slutsats är att om ekonomin är i balans kan kvalitativ vård erbjudas. Inom psykiatrin sker avvägningar mellan kvalitet och lönsamhet, men kvaliteten går alltid före inom båda sektorerna då deras huvuduppdrag är att ge god vård till sina patienter.

Abstract [en]

Background: Swedish psychiatry consists of both private and public actors that exist in a freedom of choice system. The system of choice is meant to stimulate the competition between the sectors and in doing so improve their efficiency and quality. However, the system of choice has been criticized as it may promote profitability over qualitative objectives. The issue stems from how new public management reforms have influenced the public sector to act more as the private. On the basis of this issue, the essay covers how the actors combine conflicting qualitative and financial goals.

Purpose: The purpose of the essay is to examine how private and public psychiatry combine qualitative and financial goals.

Method: The essay is based on a multiple case study using an abductive approach. 16 semi-structured interviews were conducted with employees within both sectors. In addition data has been collected from scientific articles, literature and electronic sources.

Conclusion: The essay's conclusion is that if the economy is balanced then qualitative healthcare can be offered. Within psychiatry, trade-offs are made between quality and profitability, but quality is always prioritized in both sectors as their main mission is to provide good care.
