The responsibilities for delivery of care in Sweden is divided between the regions and the municipalities. The regions run the hospitals and the primary care centres (PCCs) whereas the municipalities are responsible for homecare nursing and nursing homes. The homecare nurses and the doctors they need to seek advice from, thus belong to different organizations/contexts. As more patients with multi- and long-term illnesses are taken care of in their homes the workload of the homecare nurses has increased. A new healthcare agreement has thus been signed between a region in South Sweden and its municipalities. The healthcare agreement states that doctors from the PCCs are to form mobile teams together with the homecare nurses. This paper reports from a pre-study investigating how the agreement, in terms of translation sociology, is interpreted in four of the municipalities. The aim of the research project as a whole is to develop digital support systems for the mobile teams.

Such protocols are currently lacking in Poland.

Article Synopsis
- The homecare sector in France faces challenges such as staff recruitment and retention due to low pay and tough working conditions, prompting a new organization to try an innovative hourly payment method.
- Using Tronto's caring framework, the study analyzes the strategies behind this new model and assesses the nursing activities conducted during home visits.
- Findings show that the hourly payment encouraged a positive environment for nurses, aligning with their professional ethics and values; however, maintaining the overall organizational model is crucial for the success of this payment method on a national scale.

Background: Early discharge to neonatal home care is common practice for preterm infants in Sweden but the evidence base for assessing infant and parent readiness is limited and there are no nationally defined discharge guidelines or criteria. To investigate potential facilitators and barriers in the transition to home, we examined discharge criteria, pre- and post-discharge practices, and staff decision-making.
Methods: All (n = 36) Swedish units participated in this descriptive mixed method study based on semi-structured interviews with one physician and one registered nurse representing each unit.
