Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- One of the latest trends in health informatics is Internet of Things (IoT). IoT consists of various types of technical objects connected to Internet and/or connected to each other, cooperating to reach a common goal. This pilot study explores how chronic patients, potential patients and healthcare personnel (n=100) perceive sensors and implanted sensors as two examples of IoT in remote healthcare. Data was collected through an acceptability questionnaire based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework using criteria as: performance expectancy; effort expectancy; attitude towards technology; and social influence. The pilot result indicated e.g. a strong acceptance of implants and that external sensors in a treatment requires further work. Differences between men and women were found: acceptance of sensors was preferred by women, and implants by men. In conclusion, IoT could be used to enhance person-centered healthcare, aiming to better engage patients in their treatment, rather than being a passive recipient of a medical intervention.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2015 Region Skåne was the first county council in Sweden to add adult psychiatry patients to the civic service of patient online access to their EHR (electronic health records). The initial implementation of the service in somatic care had previously raised both questions and resistance amongst the healthcare professionals. It was thus considered important to inform the professionals involved about the planned introduction in psychiatry well in advance. This paper presents and discusses how well the management was able to do this. The material presented derives from a survey that was distributed to employees in adult psychiatry in Region Skåne just before the introduction of the service. Overall, the results show that different professions receive information through different channels. This indicates that it is important for an employer to use many information and communication channels to reach employees. It is also important to use both interpersonal and mediated communication channels as they serve different purposes.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Approaches such as ISO 13606 and openEHR aim to address data reusability by defining clinical data structures called archetypes and templates, based on a reference model. A problem with these approaches is that parts of them currently are rather difficult to learn. It can be hard to imagine what an archetype-based clinical system combined with modern terminology systems will look like and what consequences different modeling choices have, without seeing and experimenting with an operational system. This paper reports findings from a survey among openEHR learners and educators combined with observations of related openEHR mailing list discussions. The paper ends with an opinion piece, where we discuss potentially fruitful ways to learn, explore, and extend archetype-based EHR systems using visualization and examples.The findings highlight potential stumble blocks and solutions and should be of interest for both educators and self-learners.
