Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Sweden has one of the best cancer care systems in the world when it comes to survival. However, prognoses shows that by 2030 the number of men with cancer will increase by almost 130% compared to today – the corresponding increase for women is around 70%. Approximately half of this increase can be explained by population changes, i.e. population size and age structure. Due to this future challenge, a national cancer strategy has been created. We will present some strategies that the Regional Cancer Centre West is working on to face the future challenge. A central part of this work is to create patient-focused, coherent regional care pathways for patients with malignant diseases. For this purpose, 30 experienced senior physicians, specialized in different tumour diseases, have been appointed as regional process (pathway) owners. Together, they share a regional responsibility for 23 cancer pathways, and nine support processes.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Purpose This chapter presents a framework for an action research based intervention to develop and transform sustainable healthcare in a regional context. The framework is illustrated by the case of the Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) West in western Sweden.Design/methodology/approach The framework draws upon and develops Pettigrew’s context–content–process model of strategic change and applies it to the unfolding narrative of the change effort. The empirical focus is the activities of a learning platform consisting of the RCC leadership, senior cancer physicians designated as process owners and an action research team. Data were collected from documents, observations of the learning platform, notes from meetings and interviews. Outcome data were obtained via the self-reporting of the physicians.Findings The learning platform established the capability for wide ranging development and quality improvement on the 23 cancer pathways as well as some support activities around principles of patient-centred care. A clear result is greater inter-organisational collaboration between care professionals as well as the introduction of new medicines, clinical methods, joint learning activities and new forms of measurement and monitoring of care practices. All of the improved measures are sustained.Originality/value Whilst there is no shortage of rhetoric on patient-centred care, the reality is that in complex healthcare systems solutions such as process-oriented approaches often fail. This case presents a model and an approach that eschews clear visions for change and instead places an emphasis on dialogue, participation, professional autonomy and collaborative communities as means for achieving the patient-centred ideal. The case also shows the value of seeing sustainable health systems as being grounded on practitioner–scholar collaboration that combines practical knowing with scientific knowledge.

Whole System in the Room: Toward Systems Integration in Healthcare
- 2018

In: Health Communication. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1532-7027 .- 1041-0236. ; 33:7, s. 800-808

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- How might systems integration be furthered in healthcare? The paper addresses this by exploring critically the potentials of appreciative inquiry for accelerating systems integration through a large group intervention. We analyze a one-day dialog workshop to get “the whole system in the room” to improve cancer care in a regional health authority in south west Sweden. Seeing systems integration as socialization and enhanced common understandings, we suggest that discourse may play a crucial role in bringing together the various stakeholders in the system. Our analysis of the group discussions of the event demonstrates however that the degree of shared understanding can vary considerably across the discussion themes of appreciative inquiry. We argue that the “patient,” as a linguistic artifact, can act as a boundary signifier that enables those present to interact in a meaningful and coherent way but that this stops short of systems integration.

Being branded by the business school

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This chapter focuses on the relatively neglected domain of branding and the academic labour process, in particular in business schools. It is increasingly accepted that brands are not only marketing tools, they also potentially instruct and direct organizational members. In other words, branding is a means by which managers or leaders can exert control in the labour process through targeting employee subjectivities. Employer branding entails the alignment of employees, typically in service occupations, with how they profile themselves outwards to customers. Successful image management and branding tends to interact with identity. Kärreman and Rylander argues that branding activities can more fruitfully be seen as the management of meaning rather than as benign marketing tools. Professional labour in academia is both simultaneously consuming the brand and producing it. Accordingly, much of the performance of academic labour can be understood as branding work, that is, doing things to market the business school or university brand to an external audience.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book addresses the real life consequences of the corporatization of universities in general and business schools in particular, and challenge the dominant paradigm which is forcing universities and business schools to 'speak' as a corporate player in a global market where esteem, student revenue, funding and spin-offs are the goods that are traded. It explores the historical evolution of the branding/competition paradigm for contemporary universities, tracing its origins to the land grant universities in the US and later transmitted into global contexts. The book examines the audit culture which has developed in business schools. It investigates the implications of neo-liberal reforms and New Public Management policies on academic freedom. The book also explores the commodification of the 'student', as articulated in a university advertising campaign.
