How to deal with context? A context-mapping tool for quality and safety in nursing homes and homecare (SAFE-LEAD Context)
2019
Abstract Objective The objective of this paper is to develop a context-mapping tool (SAFE-LEAD Context) adapted to the nursing home and homecare setting. These two contexts represent a substantial variability, but studies focusing on the types and roles of contextual factors in quality and safety in these care settings are lacking. Results We conducted a step-wise collaborative design process consisting of mapping of key contextual factors as perceived by managers in Norwegian nursing homes and homecare, then created a draft tool discussed in a consortium workshop with co-researchers, and ran an international cross-country comparison. The SAFE-LEAD Context tool is inspired by the Consolidat…

Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 InnledningEtter hvert som befolkningen i Norge blir eldre og sykere er det et behov for informasjon om den enkelte pasient i helsevesenet. I Norge per i dag er det ingen felles journalløsninger som dekker alle nivåer i helsevesenet. Dette fører til at de som trenger informasjon ikke alltid har den nødvendige tilgangen. Det brukes forskjellige systemer avhengig av helseforetak, sykehus, kommune og lignende. På et sykehus i Sør –Norge brukes den elektroniske pasientjournalen (EPJ) DIPS, hvor alle nyansatte får opplæring før de gis tilgang til å dokumentere i DIPS. Denne studien forsøker å belyse opplæringens betydni…
