The purpose of the strategy is to establish how the joint work between the state and the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) is to be organised, and to identify a number of focus areas within which specific efforts are to be made to achieve the vision. The strategy should not only guide the joint work but also the efforts made by the parties individually. Regional or local actors, or other activities in the field of eHealth, who wish to be guided in their own digitalisation work should also be able to use the strategy as a starting point. The strategy sets the strategic direction for the work and will be followed by implementation plans. The purpose of the implementation plans is to describe the actions to be carried out in the prioritised areas of the strategy, who will implement the actions and how they will be followed up.
