Our findings indicate that the shift towards intermediate care through the introduction of MAUs has increased performance within the public healthcare sector in Norway. Our findings indicate that the introduction of MAU have had a positive public health impact by lowering the mortality and readmission rates for the oldest population cohort in Norway.
