Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter focuses on the early preparatory phase of the digital assistive technology (DAT) implementation process, and explores the challenges older people, healthcare personnel, healthcare managers, and IT-staff may experience. The chapter is based on two independent case studies, both part of longitudinal projects on DAT implementation in municipalities in Sweden and Norway. The two cases provide insights into DAT implementation and its challenges, in relation to four different categories: 1) complex innovation characteristics, 2) external policy and incentives, 3) organizational characteristics, and 4) individual characteristics. The chapter demonstrates that DAT does not only transform work practices and daily routines but also the entire healthcare profession, from being primarily concerned with caring and nursing to a profession involving technological skills. DAT implementation is about transformation, and may even be disruptive. Successful digitalization of healthcare needs a new mindset, new work practices, as well as new roles and professions.

- AIM: The aim was to illuminate how nurses experience person-centred care planning using video conferencing upon hospital discharge of frail older persons.DESIGN: Care planning via video conferencing requires collaboration, communication and information transfer between involved parties, both with regard to preparing and conducting meetings. Participation of involved parties is required to achieve a collaborative effort, but the responsibilities and roles of the involved professions are unclear, despite the existence of regulations.METHOD: A qualitative content analysis was conducted based on 11 individual semi-structured interviews with nurses from hospitals, municipalities and primary care in Sweden.RESULTS: This study provides valuable insights into challenges associated with care planning via video conferencing. The meeting format, that is video conferencing, is perceived as a barrier that makes the interaction challenging. Shortcomings in video technology make a person-centred approach difficult. The person-centred approach is also difficult for nurses to maintain when the older person or relatives are not involved in the planning.

How to Apply and Manage Critical Success Factors in Healthcare Information Systems Development?
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Systems. - : MDPI. - 2079-8954. ; 11:9

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studies on Critical Success Factors (CSFs) in Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) development projects have traditionally often been limited to retrospectively identifying CSFs in a finished project. In this paper, we focus on how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS projects. Based on a holistic perspective and systems thinking, an inductive research strategy was applied and a single in-depth case study was conducted. The findings include detailed descriptions that contribute to further understanding of how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS projects. The analysis reveals that CSFs must be applied differently and managed on various system levels. Furthermore, it shows how interactions exist between different system levels, both in the case of a specific CSF and between different CSFs on various system levels. Our analysis framework and findings indicate new directions for future research: how to prospectively apply and manage CSFs in HIS development projects can now be investigated both in a more holistic way and more in detail. Finally, healthcare practitioners can use the descriptions as practical checklists for guiding them in how to realize situational adaptation of CSFs in HIS projects across different system levels.

The Development and Evaluation of an Animated Video for Pre- and Postoperative Instructions for Patients with Osteoarthritis : A Design Science Research Approach
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Geriatrics. - 2308-3417. ; 9:19, s. 1-11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition in the hip or knee joints that develops during a long period of time and sometimes needs hip or knee joint replacement surgery when pain gets too intense for the patient. This paper describes how an animated video for pre- and postoperative instructions for patients with osteoarthritis was designed. The design science research (DSR) approach was followed by creating a web-based animated video. The web-based animated video is used to support surgical departments with education for patients suffering from OA. In the web-based animated video, information about OA surgical treatment and its pre- and post-arrangements was included. The relevance, the rigor, and the design cycles were focused on, with some iterations of and improvements in the animations. Even after implementation, there was a feedback-loop with comments from the surgeons and their patients. Moreover, as more departments will use the web-based animated video, they want to make their special mark on it, so that further changes will be made. This paper presents the design and successful implementation of an animated video for pre- and postoperative instructions for patients with osteoarthritis, tightly linked to the patient journey and the workflow of healthcare professionals. The animated video serves not only as a tool to improve care but also as a basis for further scientific research studies.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The fast development of the IT in the society of today has led to that more SMEs rely on ERP systems. Especially, IT has facilitated the management of the flow of goods within and between organizations and have made lead times more effective and also have increased the overview of the flow of goods. This will help SMEs obtain a competitive advantage. The aim of this paper is analyze the factors influencing SMEs adoption of ERP systems. A qualitative case study is conducted within a company which both is engaged in manufacturing and project work. The company runs service projects for its customers and at the same time they produce articles both for sale and for use within the service projects. An ERP system can also serve as an overall system for the administration, the production and inventory management in the company. However, there are important factors to take into account in the adoption phase, related to the technological infrastructure, the organizational challenges as well as environmental relations in order to decide on an implementation on an ERP system. It is of a critical importance that the SME really change their routines in order to follow the processes implemented in the ERP system. Otherwise, the company runs the risk to be stuck in its previous and ineffective inventory management processes, regardless of investments in the ERP system and the technological infrastructure.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- eHealth is considered a solution to current challenges in healthcare. However, its use is not very well developed, and its potential has been little exploited. There are many reasons for the limited diffusion of eHealth. Knowledge, opportunities for training and collaborative activities are examples of factors that influence diffusion. Managerial responsibility is decisive in transforming healthcare. This paper aims at exploring middle management strategies that can facilitate workplace learning when introducing eHealth and new ways of providing healthcare. Introduction of eHealth will imply new and innovative working processes, where both employees and managers need to be aware that their work will change fundamentally, from routine work to work that involves learning, skills development and continuous changes in work practice. This study takes a qualitative approach by analysing data collected through focus group interviews. The findings indicate a necessity for a shift towards learning-oriented leadership and adaptive management that emphasizes employee involvement and opportunities for learning. Helping employees make sense of the complexities associated with continuously changing work practices is another identified middle management strategy. Scenario planning and backcasting stand out as suitable tools for sensemaking in complex organizations and as techniques that can promote workplace learning. © 2020 The Author(s)

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Digitalization and technology are interventions seen as a solution to the increasing demand for healthcare services, but the associated changes of the services are characterized by multiple challenges. A work-integrated learning approach implies that the learning outcome is related to the learning environment and the learning affordances available at the actual workplace. To shape workplace affordances it is of great importance to get a deeper understanding of the social practices. This paper will explore a wide range of managers' and professionals' emotions, moods and feelings related to digitalization and new ways of providing healthcare services, as well as the professionals' knowledge and experiences. Zhang's affective response model (ARM) will be used as a systematic approach and framework to gain knowledge of how professionals and managers experience and experience digitization of municipal health services. The research question is: How can knowledge about dark sides of technology reduce barriers to work-integrated learning?This paper is based on a longitudinal study with a qualitative approach. Focus group discussions were used as method for collecting data. The findings and themes crystallized through the content analysis were then applied to the Affective Response Model as a systematic approach to gain more knowledge about professionals and managers' experiences and how that knowledge can reduce the barriers to work-integrated learning. Understanding of, and consciousness about the dark sides of technology and the professionals' affective responses may support the digitalization of the sector and the development of the new ways of providing healthcare services.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Some risk factors exist within the implementation process of an ERP system in small companies. However, researchers claim different views on which impacts the implementation of ERP systems have. Actually, there are relatively few empirically based ERP implementation studies in small companies and its impact, as most of such studies are focused on larger companies. This paper is based on a case study at a small company. The aim of the paper is to explore risks at a small company when planning to implement an ERP system. The analysis shows that an ERP system is a good solution to avoid using systems that are not integrated. An ERP system could integrate all information in only one system, and all information could easily be accessed within that system. The implementation therefore lead to decreasing costs in the daily work as the activities and processes can be performed more effective and efficient.
