Background: The rapidly increasing older population with extensive care needs has shifted health care from institutions to the older person’s home. A cross-organisational integrated care model was created by health care authorities to meet these challenges, the Mobile integrated care model (MICM). The MICM with a home health care physician is a collaboration between regional and municipal health care, working in the patients home. Methods: Semi-structured interviews with patients, next of kin and health care professionals. Results: The home was described by all as the best place to provide health care to these patients, creating safety and increasing autonomy for the patients. The health care professionals found trust in working together as a team, but struggled because of the divided organizations. Patients and next of kin found MICM to be hierarchic, where the structure at times improved participation, and at other times prevented it. Conclusion: More time for health care professionals were the main development which all participant groups described. Furthermore, the patients and next of kin longed for a personal contact and being able to form a relationship with the health care personnel. The health care professionals found being employed by separate organizations as a challenge, where divided documentation systems and lack of equipment hindered the work.
