- Abstract
- Swedish social services and healthcare systems have been bound by law since 2010 to collaborate when a client requires multiple interventions. This is called a Coordinated Individual Plan (CIP) to prevent clients from being overlooked by healthcare and social services.

The chosen method for this study was qualitative semi-structured interviews with six social workers from three different social services offices around Skåne county. We analysed our empirical data with Danermark’s collaboration theory with a power perspective. To further analyse, we also used concepts from Grape’s interpretation of collaboration conflicts from a new institutional organisational perspective. The interviews were processed into four themes that served as the foundation for our analysis. Our study found that the guidelines surrounding CIP left interpretive space for social and health care services in regards to responsibility area and time frame. We also found that there is a power play between the key actors in CIP that results in the comorbid client not receiving proper treatment. Our study found that despite the shortcomings of CIP, the social workers' general view was that CIP, as a tool for collaboration, has many positive aspects in regards to comorbid clients. Furthermore, the different interpretations from the key actors in regards to CIP imply that the legislation must be clarified in order to prevent collaboration conflicts. (Less)
