Sammanfattning
Background: X-ray examination is an old but still very used method to diagnose patients.
For some patients an X-ray examination becomes inexpedient because they have to change
environment to be examined, which can result in anxiety, delirium or hospitalization. Mobile Xray
is an Open Access method where the examination is moved to the patient.
Aim and method: The aim was to evaluate the pilot project Mobile X-ray to study whether
mobile X-ray optimizes the patient care and saves resources.
Results: The results showed high satisfaction among staff, patients, relatives and general
practitioners. The image quality was acceptable. It is probably more expensive to examine patients
at the hospital compared to mobile X-ray.
Conclusion: The data was not valid to conclude that mobile examination optimizes patient
care, but the result indicates that patient care was optimized and mobile X-ray saves
resources. More studies need to be conducted.
