title: Open care for the aged: Swedish model.
abstract: Many countries view the Swedish model of open care for the aged with increasing interest. Open care offers several points of access to the service system and a wide range of services both in urban and rural areas. Nevertheless, governments need more data for a comprehensive evaluation of cost-effectiveness and the degree of coordination between health and medical services and social and environmental services in comparison with other models of care.
