Hallinghelse

What Hallinghelse does

Hallinghelse is an inter-municipal health cooperation (interkommunalt helsesamarbeid) established in 2013 and politically expanded in 2019, serving the six municipalities of Hol, Ål, Gol, Hemsedal, Flå, and Nesbyen in the Hallingdal region of Norway. Operating under a host municipality model (vertskommunemodell) with Ål kommune as the managing entity, it coordinates health and care services on behalf of all six municipalities through shared competency positions, inter-municipal professional networks, and development projects. Approximately 17 staff members deliver a coordinated portfolio that includes digital home monitoring (digital hjemmeoppfølging, DHO), clinical nutrition, inter-municipal public health coordination, learning and coping programs (Læring og mestring), mobile skills training (Mobilt ferdighetsteam), municipal psychology services, the BTI-Trygg oppvekst child welfare framework, and health technology coordination.

The organization's technology stack is centered on health technology (helseteknologi) and e-health implementation, encompassing digital home monitoring with remote sensors for blood pressure, weight, and oxygen saturation, video consultations, welfare technology, and integration with national e-health infrastructure including kjernejournal (core journal) and new electronic patient record systems. A 13 million NOK research project titled 'Tillit og kompetanse' (Trust and Competence), funded by Norges Forskningsr\u00e5d and conducted in partnership with Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge (USN) through its Centre for Health and Technology, extends the organization's scope to 12 small rural municipalities across Hallingdal and Vest-Telemark and supports a PhD fellowship. Digital home monitoring follows national clinical guidelines from Helsedirektoratet and is financed through Helseteknologiordningen.

Hallinghelse does not operate as a commercial entity. Its revenue base consists of municipal contributions from the six member municipalities, project grants from national programs (Research Council of Norway, Helseteknologiordningen, Program for folkehelse, Erasmus), and coordination arrangements with Vestre Viken Helseforetak and Hallingdal Sjukestugu. All courses, professional training (fagdager), and digital health services are provided free of charge to municipal health staff and Hallingdal residents. Strategic direction is set through the health and care leadership forum consisting of municipal directors for health and care across the six member municipalities, and the daily manager participates regularly in this forum.
