What is a journal system?
A journal system provides an overview of information about your patients or clients. Everything from the patient's or client's history, the purpose and goals of treatment, to personal data and notes - is what you can find in your journal system. Patient records facilitate your treatment of patients and ensure that both you and the patient (or client) can feel secure knowing that all necessary information is gathered. The journal system is also a very useful tool during holiday periods or other absences, as any substitutes need access to the information to treat the patient in the best way. Having the information consolidated in a web-based journal system or a cloud-based journal means you are not dependent on a specific computer or device, but can log in whenever you need, wherever you are. Journal systems are used in traditional healthcare, but also in beauty salons or by psychologists.
For a patient, an e-journal (a journal you log into and access via computer, tablet, or phone) is a way to access certain information. The most well-known provider of e-journals is likely Vårdguiden 1177, where you can log in with e-identification if you are over 13 years old. Here you can find information about your doctor visits, test results, and consents. Please note that the information you have access to in your journal depends on the region you live in.
It is worth noting that journal systems in Sweden are regulated by several laws, including the Patient Data Act. At BusinessWith, you will find various providers of journal systems – feel free to start comparing to find the system that suits you best.

Which journal system should I choose?
The journal system should facilitate your daily work and provide you with a good overview of the information you need about your patients or clients. In Sweden, there are only a few systems that hold almost the entire market. Some argue that the development is slow and that old, proven systems are used instead of welcoming new and more modern ways of keeping records (at least in healthcare). Which journal system you should choose depends entirely on the type of business you run and what needs you have. Our advice at BusinessWith is to prioritize user-friendliness and accessibility. You need a system that the employees working in it understand and feel fits into their daily work. Furthermore, the journal system must, of course, be usable by patients and clients, who may log into their e-journal to view notes, read test results, book appointments, or other tasks. Having a web-based journal system or record-keeping allows both of you to easily access the information regardless of which device you log in from.
