title: The networking between hospital and health centre.
abstract: Health care providers, purchasers, and insurers try to manage the costs while maintaining the quality of the care. In the Hospital District of Central Finland we based our plans on the following values: life worth living, justice, truth, responsibility, equality, relationship, and commitment. Most of these values mean responsibility for the patient. At the same time they tell of the ethical basis of our regional networking between hospitals and health centres.
