HSsystemet

HSsystemet is a term used primarily in Swedish-language policy and administration discourse to denote a system designed around the initials H and S. It is not a single, canonical entity; its exact definition varies by country, sector, and reform context. In broad terms, HSsystemet refers to a framework for coordinating services, data exchange, and governance within a sector such as health and social care.

In healthcare and social services contexts, HSsystemet often refers to the health and social care system as an integrated framework that connects national policy, regional authorities, municipalities, and care providers. The emphasis lies on care pathways, coordination across levels, and financing flows that support service delivery.

Typical components include modular architecture, interoperability standards for information exchange, governance and accountability arrangements, funding mechanisms, and information security controls. Implementation is usually iterative, combining policy reforms, pilot projects, and regional adaptations to accommodate local needs.

The term gained prominence in Swedish public administration debates from the late 20th century onward. While most commonly associated with Sweden, HSsystemet also appears in Danish and Norwegian discourse, where sector-specific meanings may apply.
