Our questions were the following:How important is it that the Care-receivers are examined and diagnosed?Do the respondents experience difficulties with non-differentiated dementia nursing homes?Which are the advantages and disadvantages for Care receivers/patients and nursing-staff if dementia Care homes are differentiated according to the Care-receivers dementia diagnosis and phase of illness?Are there alternative solutions to the way the municipality organise the residence for Carereceivers today that might improve the situation for Care-receivers/patients and nursing-staff?How does cooperation or the lack of it mint the conditions for Care in dementia nursing homes?Which goals does the municipality have for the organisation of dementia Care?Our approach was a qualitative method consisting of interviews to answer the objective of this thesis and our questions. Our findings are supported by a sociological analysis of organisations. Our findings show that there is a conflict of interest between the principle of permanent residence which imply that the Care-receiver should not have to move against her or his will and between the use of differentiated dementia nursing homes.

The main purpose of this essay is to study the role of documentation in Swedish health Care today and the consequences of the augmentations in paper work that have taken place during the last couple of decades. The method used in this study is interviews with health Care personnel.The following questions are treated:-       What kind of documentation has increased in Swedish health Care?-       How is the patient/health Care professionals affected?-       How is the work of the health Care professionals affected?The conclusion of the essay is that the increasing amount of time spent on documentation that for much part has never been performed before, (such as risk analyses, statistics and writing much more thorough charts), has consequently left very little time for actual patient Care. The research also showed that faith in health Care professionals has significantly decreased and that one of the major reasons for increased documenting is the anticipation of and therefore protection against potential complaints. Finally there seems to be a greater focus on being service-minded rather than on providing quality health Care..
