Allocation models and prioritising practices in long-term care services in the nordic countries
The Nordic countries are experiencing an increasing demand for long-term care services, primarily due to an ageing population and a declining ratio of working-age individuals to older adults. This development places growing pressure on municipal care services and intensifies challenges related to service allocation and prioritisation. Care managers responsible for service allocation operate at the intersection of quality expectations, legal oblig…
Patient Work in Long-Term Conditions
Long-term conditions are one of the major causes to morbidity and death worldwide. Management of such conditions in healthcare settings has been framed as a challenge for healthcare systems, and people living with long-term conditions often experience fragmented care. Integrated care approaches have been advocated as the solution, but few studies include the work done by patients and its significance for care processes. The present study aimed to…
Co-creating a novel practice model for connecting oral health- and home health care services – The importance of the users’ experiences
Introduction and aim: Our society is faced with an increased number of elderly patients living at home with poor oral health status. Internationally and in Norway, the home health care service (HHCS) and the dental health care service (DHCS) are disbanding, resulting in a lack of adequate and coordinated oral health services. In the development of the intervention “Connecting ORAL health- and home health care service for patients receiving home h…

Tools to Support Self-Care Monitoring at Home
Self-care monitoring at home can be a challenge for patients with heart failure (HF). Tools that leverage information and communication technology (ICT), comprise medical devices, or have written material may support their efforts at home. The aim of this study was to describe HF patients' experiences and their prioritization of tools that support, or could support, self-care monitoring at home. A descriptive qualitative design employing semi-str…
We Tie Up the Loose Ends”
During the last decades, the work of homecare nurses has been affected by several changes, including an aging population, the decentralization of health care, nursing recruitment crises and the scarcity of public resources. Few scholars have analyzed how these changes have impacted homecare nursing. In this article, we describe and discuss aspects of homecare nurses’ work, with specific focus on nurses “organising work.” We outline three phenomen…

Integrating patient care across Norwegian healthcare settings – a ten-year perspective
Introduction: An increasing group of patients with multiple chronic conditions are living at home. However, rapid changes in health status are common within this group, causing a need for health care services across a broad range of professions and settings. Such "transitional care" typically requires access to relevant, accurate and timely information for all providers involved in the care of the affected individual in order to ensure high quali…
Improving continuity of care through an electronic messaging system
Background: An increasing number of patients will receive municipal home health care services. Most of these patients will have frequent contact with a number of care providers across different settings, including GPs and hospitals. Ineffective transfer of information between the providers threatens the patient safety and quality of care
Integrated care in Norway
The low number of care plans and the oblique responsibility among professionals for planning showed that the objectives of the national initiative had not been achieved. More research is needed to determine the reasons for this lack of success and to contribute to solutions for improved multidisciplinary cooperation
Lay people's experiences with reading their medical record
Electronic exchange of discharge summaries between hospital and municipal care from health personnel's perspectives
Introduction of electronic discharge summaries did not result in a significant increase in integration of care. However, the project was a catalyst for the collaborating participants to address their interaction from new perspectives
Cultural diversity between hospital and community nurses
We propose that nurses need to discuss these challenges and their implications for nursing care so as to be ready to face changing demands for health care in future
E-messages as a tool for improved information exchange across levels in the health care sector
PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to present a study exploring how an electronic message (e-message) system was adapted and used in health care. The e-message system was developed to support and strengthen communication and information exchange between health care providers in a university hospital and the affiliated municipality. Implementing e-messages is expected to enhance quality of care for patients in need of municipal health care serv…
Nurses’ information management at patients’ discharge from hospital to home care
There is a need to take account of the different organizational contexts within which the two nursing groups work. The organizational context (hospital versus home care) has implications for the nurses' assessment of the information they exchange. In further development of EPR, it is therefore essential to clarify the context-related information needs of the various health care provider groups as part of the commitment to patient safety
