Finally, it has been clarified with definite message about the autumn's round of Safe Sepsis Care;

Good news is that 10 hospitals(!) would be audited

• Region Värmland (Karlstad, Arvika and Torsby)
• Region Kalmar (Kalmar, Oskarshamn and Västervik)
• Region Dalarna (Falun, Mora, and Avesta)
• Region Västra Götaland (Östra sjukhuset in Gothenburg)

The timetable is as follows:

• First week in September - Introduction meeting activities (Löf is responsible). Löf (Landstingens Ömsesidiga Försäkringsbolag) is a nationwide Swedish insurance company whose main task is to insure publicly financed health care providers.
• October 20 - Deadline for self-evaluation report from departments
• Week 45 - November 4-5 - Start seminar for reviewers in Stockholm
• Week 47 - November 19-20 - Site visit Dalarna / Kalmar / Östra <sjukhuset (2 days)

• December 12 - Deadline for feedback report. Action Agreement within 4-5 weeks thereafter
• June 2020 - Action Reporting and follow-up visits

Need for reviewer:

• With 10 hospitals, at least 45 reviewers are needed. For the smaller hospitals in one region it is enough with 4 reviewers, but for Falun, Kalmar and Karlstad 5 is needed, and for Östra Sjukhuset 6 reviewers
