It was on Tuesday last week that the journal system began to be rolled out at, among other places, Södra Älvsborgs hospital in Borås. However, after technical problems and harsh criticism from the employees, the system was put on hold on Friday.

Carl Johan Sonesson (M), chairman of the regional board in Skåne, is now open to a revised timetable following the disastrous start in the VGR region.

What has happened in VGR is not at all pleasant to see, and it's obvious that we have thought a lot about this since then, he says.

We must ensure that the staff can test the systems in a safe and calm environment and that we get them on board with the system change.

According to the current plan, the system is scheduled to be introduced at Ystad hospital and nearby health centers in March.

The regional board in Västra Götaland decided on Tuesday to appoint an external investigation into the IT failure.

This, including an action plan, must be put on the table, says chairman Helén Eliasson (S) to TT.

Then the information will be released to our residents. But we also have a dialogue with Skåne, which needs to know what happened in Västra Götaland.
