Solli District Psychiatric Center

What Solli District Psychiatric Center does

Solli District Psychiatric Center (Solli DPS) is a private non-profit District Psychiatric Center founded in 1955 and headquartered at Osvegen 15, Nesttun, Bergen, Norway. The organization is owned by Haraldsplass Diakonale Stiftelse (Haraldsplass Diaconal Foundation) and operates under a formal service agreement with Helse Vest RHF, the Western Norway Regional Health Authority, as part of the national specialized public health service. Solli DPS provides specialized psychiatric care to adults (18+) across outpatient clinics, an inpatient unit with 20 beds (10 general psychiatric + 10 rehabilitation), a FACT team, and digital treatment modalities, serving the municipalities of Bjørnafjorden, Samnanger, Austevoll, and Fana borough of Bergen.

The clinical portfolio spans treatment for depression, anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, psychosis, trauma/PTSD, eating disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum conditions. The technology stack centers on a guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program called eBehandling, delivered via the Youwell platform for depression, panic disorder, and social anxiety with weekly therapist guidance. Video consultations are provided through join.nhn.no, a secure browser-based solution integrated with the national Helsenorge.no health portal. Additional integrations include CheckWare for patient questionnaires, VestDialog for secure messaging, Matomo and Optimizely for web analytics, and Cloudflare for DDoS protection. The organization also emphasizes physical exercise as a treatment modality, supported by on-site gymnasium and training facilities, and operates group therapy programs including ADHD DBT groups, Unified Protocol groups, Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), and exercise groups.

Solli DPS's business model is structured around the Norwegian public healthcare financing system. Primary funding flows through the service agreement with Helse Vest RHF as a contracted allocation for specialized psychiatric services within the public health offering. Secondary revenue derives from regulated patient co-payments (egenandel) that count toward the national exemption card (frikort) threshold. The go-to-market is sales-led but non-commercial: patients are referred through general practitioners (fastlege), medical specialists, or other healthcare personnel, with referrals assessed within 10 working days. Patients under 16 (or under 18 for psychiatric treatment) and those with exemption cards do not pay co-payments. The organization holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and is governed by a board including external and employee representatives, with operational leadership including a Director (Frédéric André Eftevåg Larsen), Medical Advisor, section leaders for inpatient/outpatient services, and a dedicated Research Director.
