• An increased share of private providers of care: The private share of care has historically been increasing. Trends including increased focus on quality, an increasing demand for freedom of choice and a need for productivity improvements, are contributing to the expectation that the share of private care to continue to increase in the future.
• Increasing customer requirements: As living standards are improving, the behavior of customers and their relatives are changing. Today they are more active in their choices and evaluate more care options before making a decision.
• Increased interest in freedom of choice: Private providers and freedom of choice is a natural part of care for older people in several European countries. When care for older people was developed in the Nordics, freedom of choice was limited. The interest in being able to make a choice yourself has increased among older people in all Nordic countries.

The Attendo model has three cornerstones: The best people in a decentralised organisation, a strong company culture, and a shared toolbox and a curiosity to learn.
• Systematic quality work: Attendo has during a long period of time developed a quality system, AQ, where processes and activities are defined, measured and monitored. Attendo was the first private care company in the Nordics to publish a quality report. The essence of the local operations is deviation reporting, and the monthly follow-up lead by the local quality coordinator available at each unit. Minutes over the operations are kept, and besides the deviation handling, local development projects are also handled. All of this is coordinated to a monthly quality thermometer, which gives the employees local feedback and contributes to learning between the operations. Through Attendo’s systematic quality work a high level of client satisfaction, shorter waiting times for doctors’ appointments and the possibility of more activities for older people within care for older people, among others, is achieved.
