AbstractThe organization of the health care system in Sweden has been subjected to investigations and discussions in order to make it more effective. The aim is to create a better public health care and to economize on the financial resources. In the year of 2003 an amendment of the Swedish law made it easier for municipalities and county councils to make own solutions and agree about how health service should be organized in the best way. This resulted in a number of test projects. In this paper I will focus on one of these test projects which took place in Borlänge and was based on collaboration between the municipality and the county council in Dalecarlia. I will make a closer study on two questions: Is this project a result of learning organizations? Why did the project arise in Borlänge? I will try to find answers to these questions and I will use theories like learning organizations, merging and timing as a help to find the answers.
