Providing safe care in home environments encompasses more than just risk reduction. The findings highlight the importance of establishing and integrating team-based and person-centred care into home care settings. Traditional communication structures for inpatient care also need to be adapted to the cross-disciplinary work in municipalities. Care providers should be given the opportunity to develop and maintain their competences and to prioritise relationship-oriented care.
