The Swedish health care system has no tradition of goal formulation of this type. Hence, the purpose of this article is to clarify the goal\u2010setting process of performance standards, and to examine whether goal setting is a relevant method within the organization of a Swedish county council. Goal setting can be seen partly as a control method and partly as an administrative process<\/jats:p><jats:p>The approach used is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Data have been collected from interviews, observations, notes taken in the field and available performance statistics. The analysis shows that working towards a goal is made easier through a common and simple concept. It \u2018stands and falls\u2019 with the management of the work and its manager. Good communications and information are important prerequisites if goal formulation, through dialogue, is to succeed, This process takes time and can be described as an iterative process, in which a common behaviour pattern develops a \u2018we\u2010feeling\u2019 which spreads among the staff. It is important that the goal is relevant and directly related to the basic objects of the work. It is also crucial that the goal is realistic and reflects a priority. Goal formulation relating to performance standards can be a contributing factor to staff's experience of job satisfaction through increased engagement and motivation, and to the satisfaction of patients\/relatives with the care given<\/jats:p><jats:p>It is difficult to formulate performance standards; there are many problems and obstacles. If goal formulation as a control method within the health care system in Sweden is to work, clearer manifestations of political will are necessary and also better measuring methods in order to guage achievement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpm.4740090303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,9]],"date-time":"2007-05-09T13:17:24Z","timestamp":1178716644000},"page":"217-233","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Setting goals and targets for performance standards within the Swedish health care system"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Lilian","family":"Axelsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Per\u2010Gunnar","family":"Svensson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Varf\u00f6r finns organisationer?","author":"Abrahamsson B.","year":"1986"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","volume-title":"Interpersonal Competence and Organizational Effectiveness","author":"Argyris C.","year":"1962"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","volume-title":"Sjukv\u00e5rdsorganisation i organisationsteoretisk belysning","author":"Axelsson R.","year":"1990"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","volume-title":"Psykologi","author":"Bengtsson L.","year":"1968"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","volume-title":"H\u00e4lsans pris.
