Table 1 Unit costs for computation of monetary cost, from Cost-Per-Patient and Cost-Per-User databases available from the National board of health and welfare. Costs reported for Stockholm were used except for primary care where cost data for Södermanland and Uppsala were combined as Stockholm data were missing. Outpatient specialty care includes hospital-based and non-hospital based specialty care. Costs for team visits based on assumption that the team most commonly consisted of a nurse, a physiotherapist (PT), and an occupational therapist (OT)
