Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- PREFACE: Since year 2007 the Nordic Council of Ministers has granted the establishment and development of a Nordic Network for scientists, “NOVO-nätverket” (NOrdisk FoUnätverk inom Vård och Omsorg). The main motivation for this initiative is the limited, if any, positive long-term impact of much work environment research if productivity and quality issues are not considered simultaneously. Due to this, the Network has introduced the NOVO triangle (our Logo) aiming at joint consideration of these three factors: The network promotes R&D initiatives within the NOVO triangle by establishing meeting places for researchers and practitioners as well as organising activities for dissemination of knowledge to practitioners. The vision of the NOVO network is a “Nordic Model for Sustainable Systems” in the health care sector. One of the meeting places for the researchers is the NOVO Symposium organised once a year. The 1st and 2nd NOVO Symposia took place in Gothenburg (2007) and Helsinki (2008). This year, the 3rd Symposium is hosted by the Danish National Research Centre for the Working Environment in Copenhagen. Our main focus is on efficient and health-promoting management – employee interaction, previously identified by the network as a key research issue on the road towards sustainable production systems in the health care sector. According to this, the first day of the Symposium is initiated by Gunnar Ahlborg presenting a key note entitled “Developing efficient and health-promoting management – employee interaction in hospitals". Rationalisation, particularly in lean production, is another topic identified by the NOVO network as crucial for obtaining sustainable production systems in the health care sector. At present, numerous Nordic health care workplaces undergo comprehensive rationalizations inspired by rationalisation fads in industry. Thus, we have asked Rolf Westgaard to give an overview of this issue when initiating the second day of the Symposium. His presentation is entitled “Occupational musculoskeletal and mental health: significance of rationalisation and opportunities to create sustainable production systems in health care – a systematic review”. A total of 28 abstracts have been submitted to the Symposium. All have been scrutinised by two referees to ensure quality and relevance. A major part of the included abstracts relate to one or both main issues touched upon in the key note presentations. We estimate that the present Symposium has managed to attract a significant part of the ongoing, and indeed expanding, amount of Nordic research within this field. A main task for the NOVO network the last year has been to develop two Nordic multicenter applications for later submission to national R&D councils. The aim is to convert our vision of a “Nordic Model for sustainable systems” into examples of Nordic co-operation in practice. Thus, Lotta Dellve presents a plan for Nordic research co-operation on “Management - employee interaction in hospital: a NOVO multicenter study plan”. Kasper Edwards presents the other plan entitled “Evaluation and development of an ergonomic complement to the Value Stream Mapping tool – a NOVO multicenter Study plan”. Gender issues are important to consider in studies of health care organisations. At the present conference, no abstract has gender aspects as their main point. Therefore, we welcome scientific discussions regarding gender aspects during the conference. At the present Symposium, 50% of the presenters and 58% of the participants are females. We want to thank Bodil Holst, Pia Gøtterup and Pia Dukholm from the Danish National Research Centre for the Working Environment for their professional assistance in the preparation of the symposium. The Nordic Council of Ministers is acknowledged for their financial support.
