SLS deimplementeringsforskning

The Swedish Society of Medicine (Svenska Läkaresällskapet) offers funding for deimplementation research projects. This grant supports research focused on studying the most effective strategies for identifying low-value care, understanding why it is provided, and finding strategies and evaluation instruments for its discontinuation. The initiative is connected to the Choosing Wisely (Kloka Kliniska Val) project, which aims to eliminate low-value healthcare practices to focus resources on treatments that truly benefit patients. Low-value care refers to interventions or treatments that have little benefit to patients or may even cause harm. The project recognizes that both mild conditions with good prognosis and seriously ill patients with poor prognosis may receive excessive or inappropriate care. This grant program aligns with international networks conducting deimplementation research, specifically the Choosing Wisely International Deimplementation Research Network. Projects should be feasible within one year and within a budget of approximately 500,000 SEK.
