During the pandemic's greatly increased workload, resources were mobilized to streamline the process around infection tracking. A joint infection tracking tool created the conditions to break chains of infection as early as possible.

The tool is judged by the Public Health Authority to be able to be adapted and introduced in other regions. Big congratulations on the nomination, Birgitta Hjerpe and Region-IT at Region Värmland!

Dealing with digital technology can be a challenge. In the group of people over 75 or with special needs, the technology can be difficult to handle on your own. It affects the individual's independence and accessibility to everyday community services. By supporting these groups in the use of digital technology, digital exclusion is reduced, while contributing to good and close care. With that background, the Digital fixer service is well worth highlighting. Big congratulations to the nomination Ulrika Vitalis, Robin Backman Torpegård and the Social Administration at Hammarö Municipality!

Laboratory analyzes sometimes cannot be performed due to preanalytical errors. By using the expertise each department possesses, this initiative, at Arvika's emergency department and laboratory medicine, has contributed to a reduced number of errors and more efficient care time. By answering a number of questions, staff can automatically receive a visualized analysis, which supports them in finding areas of improvement for safer working methods with fewer errors. The hope is to spread the tool both in Region Värmland and nationally. Big congratulations on the nomination Catharina Nilsson, quality system coordinator at Region Värmland!

In the health innovations of the future, user data plays a big role. However, the preservation of the individual's integrity is of the utmost importance. In Sweden, one in five users forego digital community services out of concern for security. One method of secure analysis is differential privacy, but it assumes that users feel safe enough to share their data. This researcher has investigated how user-friendly transparency, through metaphors, can help users create accurate mental models of how data is protected, thereby facilitating the decision to share. Big congratulations on the nomination, Farzaneh Karegar, computer science at Karlstad University!
