Abstract: Collaboration among healthcare providers is regarded as a promising method to improve care quality and patient outcomes with limited human and financial resources. In Norway, "hospital-at-home" refers to care given by teams from the hospital pediatric wards who provide treatment and care in the family's home. When children need home visits multiple times daily, the hospital-at-home often reaches out to municipality healthcare providers, asking them to share this task. We aimed to explore the collaboration between stakeholders to gain knowledge on matters concerning the transfer of pediatric competence between hospital and home-based care, and to gain insight into how to set up the service for children in the future. We conducted three focus group interviews. The results showed that managing hospital-at-home collaboratively came with various challenges concerning unclear responsibilities between hospitals and homecare services and several obstacles to setting up cooperation across service levels. Thus, positive collaboration experiences between hospital and homecare settings were shared. Formalizing this collaboration was considered important for future collaboration. Building competence and learning from and with each other ensures better conditions for success if the collaboration is organized and facilitated through agreements between the hospital and the municipalities.
