On advice to Ivo that emergency hospitals in the Stockholm region set different priorities in intensive care this spring, an inspection was launched.
Ivo has now examined all emergency hospitals in the region and points out that the Karolinska University Hospital has failed to manage it, the Siren news agency reports.
Among other things, the hospital introduced a decision support for the VAT rating, which ran the risk of excluding patients who had needed intensive care according to Ivo. The other emergency hospitals manage without problems.
Karolinska: The decision is taken very seriously.
“We have received the IVO decision and as usual we take their criticism very seriously,” writes David Konrad, VAT manager at Karolinska, in an email response to SVT and continues:
“No patient should be excluded from intensive care due to biological age. In each patient case, an individual assessment is made based on the possibility of assimilating intensive care with a good prognosis. As we have previously communicated and also presented to IVO during supervision, there has never been a guide that means that a patient is evaluated solely for their biological age. It is a support to the decision of the activity for the beginning or interruption of the attention of IVA “.
