- The CDIO standards stress the importance of using a variety of examination methods for effective learning assessment as well as active learning methods to help the students develop skills in applying knowledge to new settings. Oral assessment methods in a more traditional form where students answer questions in oral form instead of in written seems to be underrepresented in practice as well as in the literature although it has many benefits in supporting active learning and reaching learning outcomes. The oral examination method has been used during ten years within the field of Industrial Engineering and Management at the School of Engineering at Jönköping University in Sweden. The aim of this paper is to show how the oral assessment method has been successfully used in contributing to active learning in engineering education and lessons learned from this experience. The experience shows that by having students undertaking the assessment in groups, an active learning occasion is created by interaction between students as well as students and teacher. Through the design of the assessment the teacher has the opportunity to help the students to make connections between detailed knowledge and system understanding as well as among key concepts and to the application of knowledge to new settings. The assessment procedure also supports the teacher to discern the learning outcomes from each student. Further, the interaction between the teacher and the students during the assessment helps the teacher to capture what improvements need to be made in teaching and learning.

- Studies on healthcare quality improvement (QI) increasingly point at the importance of understanding multilevel organizational issues, especially interaction between national, hospital and clinical level. In a EU-study involving ten hospitals in five countries one hospital stood out in successful multilevel QI work, which is elaborated in this paper. It is suggested that there is a potential in using linkages and dependencies in terms of organisational development and resource support (O) and method, process and IT support (T) affecting the individual caregiver (H), to understand the nestedness and interaction between operational system levels in QI.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- IntroductionThe increasing threat of resistant bacteria has become a progressively more important issue and a major challenge to deal with in health care systems. In 1995 the Medical Society Reference Group for Antibiotics Questions (RAF) started a Strategic Program for rational use of antibiotics and reduced antibiotic resistance called Strama. In 2006 Strama received a commission from the government and a permanent financing and on July 2010 a national Strama council was formed as an advisory body to support the Swedish Institute for Communicable Disease Control in issues regarding 1) use of antibiotics and reduced antibiotic resistance and 2) efforts to promote cross-sectorial and locally established approach includings relevant authorities, county councils, municipalities and nonprofit organizations.In May 2011 a working group within Strama was formed in hospital A on behalf of The Director of Public Health and Healthcare in the county. The Urology Unit was chosen as a pilot department as urinary infections account for more than 30 percent of all hospital-acquired infections and contributes to the overuse of antibiotics. On behalf of The Director of Public Health and Healthcare in the county, the urology clinics at the three hospitals in the county during the past year merged into a common Urology Unit as a part of the process in gaining better control of infection spread when patients move between hospitals depending on the type of treatment that each hospital is specialized on. This merger involves in itself a number of major challenges. Materials and methodsA process in the Strama work related to the Urology Unit at the County Council was followed during autumn 2011 and spring 2012 by interviewing project leaders, members of the Strama group, clinicians, attending meetings, studying documents and by observations. Results and conclusionsThe Strama group has been working at obtaining uniform working methods and procedures as it has been varying between physicians and clinics. They have also developed methods to inform about the latest treatment guidelines to assist clinicians to work properly.A problem is the difficulty for clinicians to obtain feedback on their treatment results, since the current IT systems do not enable a convenient way to access measurement data over time, which also affects the motivation of staff documenting the measurements. The Strama team therefore work together with the IT unit at the hospital to develop a so-called E-portal to provide quick feedback on clinical measurement data and prescribing patterns for antibioticsDuring the spring 2012 Strama-responsible physicians and Department Care Developers from all clinics were invited to learning seminars. The aim was that each clinic would initiate mapping and improvement work at the clinical level of three important Strama areas: antibiotics, hospital acquired infections, epidemiology and resistance.The work performed by the Strama-team is perceived as a great support at the surgical department where the urological patients are cared for after surgery. So the Strama work is now beginning to take off in the county but there are many challenges to be solved e.g. the implementation takes time due to cultural differences, between units and personnel, inefficient and incompatible information systems, organizational boundaries and lack of time for improvement work for clinicians.

Supporting engineering innovation and design by a multidisciplinary master´s program

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to reflect on lessons learned from a master's program with a multidisciplinary approach. The rapidly developing technology and specialization in society, business, industry and labor puts a demand on education to provide specialist skills in various technical fields. Paradoxically, the increasing complexity also demands skills from different disciplines, such as understanding human capabilities to handle technically complex systems and adapting technology to the design of organizational and individual working conditions in different workplaces and businesses. Therefore, knowledge and experience from engineers often need to be combined with skills and experience from the domain of behavioral and health scientists in order to obtain good usability and system performance. It is not, however, an easy task to combine experiences from different domains of expertise, as diverse traditions are deeply institutionalized by different approaches and research platforms and not easily adapted and integrated within engineering faculty. The master’s program reported on in this paper is an example of promoting a multidisciplinary approach contributing to an effective CDIO implementation. The design of the master’s program includes a combination of courses from a number of scientific disciplines with teachers who represent different theoretical areas, practical skills and in addition a careful mix of examination forms. Furthermore, the students' different backgrounds and learning traditions as engineers, behavioral and health scientists create a platform with excellent opportunities to learn from each other in order to develop new and innovative ways of thinking and approaching design and business development. It also offers opportunities to experience and reflect on the cultural contradictions between educational disciplines and practice.
