  6. 4. A Study of a Hospital Operating Unit as a Foundation for Future Improvements

    Author : Christofer Rydenfält; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ergonomics Healthcare Operating units Organizational design Work environment Patient Safety;

    Abstract : The main objective of the research presented was to gain an understanding of how the dynamics between professionals, tools and objectives work in an operating unit in order to obtain knowledge useful when designing the operating unit of the future with emphasis on the work environment, effectiveness and patient safety. By investigating how different professions in the operating theatre view their work and its dynamics, as well as observing how the work is actually carried out, it is possible to get a conception of the dynamics and motives that determine how the work is constituted.

  7. 5. Designing for Resource-Efficient Manual Work Activities at Hospital Care Units

    Author : Simon Hermansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Work activities; Design science research; Healthcare; Resource efficiency;

    Abstract : Although Swedish healthcare needs to increase productivity to become able to meet demand projected for the future, public healthcare in Sweden currently shows a downward trend in productivity. The research presented in this licentiate thesis aims to improve the resource efficiency of manual work activities performed in Sweden’s hospital care units and, in turn, contribute to increased productivity in the nation’s healthcare.
