Collaborative craftmanship; how restaurant workers articulate good professional practice in a changing society
The restaurant industry represents an extensive part of the hospitality sector and is known for long hours and tough working conditions, a low unionisation rate, low pay and high turnover, but less attention has been paid to what they do well – to perceptions of good professional practice in this industry. This article makes a contribution in this respect, as it explores how restaurant workers articulate what good professional practice in the res…
Patient Perspectives on Trust in Artificial Intelligence–Powered Tools in Prostate Cancer Diagnostics
The increasing prevalence of prostate cancer cases calls for new ways to improve diagnostic pathways and patient care. Artificial intelligence (AI)–powered tools offer potential to streamline prostate cancer diagnostics, yet little is known about how patients perceive and experience these technologies. This study investigates how patients diagnosed through an AI-powered prostate cancer diagnostic tool express trust in AI. Based on 18 semi-structu…
Coding for quality? Accountability work in standardised cancer patient pathways (CPPs)
A vital part of standardised care pathways is the possibility to measure performance through different indicators – for example, codes. In this article, based on interviews with health personnel in a project evaluating the introduction of standardised cancer patient pathways (CPPs) in Norway, we explore the specific types of work involved when health personnel produce codes as (intended) signifiers of quality. All the types of work are dimensions…
Between diagnostic precision and rapid decision-making
Alongside other Nordic countries, the Norwegian government has introduced Cancer Patient Pathways (CPPs) for faster diagnostic assessment and timely treatment to improve the quality of cancer care. A key aspect of CPPs is the introduction of time limits for each phase of the diagnostic investigation. Occurring simultaneously are ongoing advances in medical technology, complicating the process of diagnosing and treating cancer. In this article, us…
Establishing and sustaining collaboration across organizational boundaries within healthcare
Introduction: There have been numerous initiatives for a long period of time to enhance integration in healthcare in many countries, but these processes still prove to be challenging. More research is needed to understand the interplay between different factors and different collaboration contexts, and this paper makes a contribution in this respect. We explore how collaboration can be established and sustained across organizational boundaries. T…
Negotiating technology-mediated interaction in health care
The health-care sector is increasingly faced with different forms of technology that are introduced to mediate interaction, thus fully or partially replacing face-to-face meetings. In this article we address health personnel's experiences with three such technologies, namely: electronic messages, video conferences and net-based discussion forums. Drawing on Goffman's perspectives on interaction and frame, we argue that when technologies are intro…
Care pathways as boundary objects between primary and secondary care
The need for integration of healthcare services and collaboration across organisational boundaries is highlighted as a major challenge within healthcare in many countries. Care pathways are often presented as a solution to this challenge. In this article, we study a project of developing, introducing and using a care pathway across healthcare levels focusing on older home-dwelling patients in need of home care services after hospital discharge. I…
Introducing the electronic patient record (EPR) in a hospital setting
Today's healthcare sector is being transformed by several ongoing processes, among them the introduction of new technologies, new financial models and new ways of organising work. The introduction of the electronic patient record (EPR) is representative and part of these extensive changes. Based on interviews with health personnel and office staff in a regional hospital in Norway, and with health administrators and information technology service-…
Between asset and process
Competence and competence development are ‘buzz words' widely used in organizations in Norway, as well as in other countries. Competence, as the company's most important and valuable resource, is constantly highlighted. But what does this imply for the organization and for the employees? What are comprised in the concept of competence? In this article we present different understandings of competence among employees in a large Norwegian oil compa…
