  2. 1. Patient and public involvement in hospital quality improvement interventions : the mechanisms, monitoring and management

    Author : Carolina Bergerum; Maria Wolmesjö; Johan Thor; Christina Petersson; Christine Kumlien; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; clinical microsystem; co-production; hospital organisation; improvement science; patient and public involvement; programme theory; public service operations management; quality improvement; service-dominant logic; Health Care Service and Management; Health Policy and Services and Health Economy; Hälso- och sjukvårdsorganisation; hälsopolitik och hälsoekonomi;

    Abstract : This dissertation focuses on the mechanisms, monitoring and management of patient and public involvement in hospital quality improvement (QI) interventions. Findings from a literature review generated an initial programme theory (PT) on active patient involvement in healthcare QI interventions (Paper 1). READ MORE

  4. 2. Robust Image Registration for Improved Clinical Efficiency : Using Local Structure Analysis and Model-Based Processing

    Author : Daniel Forsberg; Hans Knutsson; Mats Andersson; Claes Lundström; Wiro Niessen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Image registration; deformable models; scoliosis; visualization; volume rendering; adaptive regularization; GPGPU; CUDA;

    Abstract : Medical imaging plays an increasingly important role in modern healthcare. In medical imaging, it is often relevant to relate different images to each other, something which can prove challenging, since there rarely exists a pre-defined mapping between the pixels in different images.

    Abstract : Background: Non-invasive diagnostic imaging of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) is frequently carried out with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) or myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (MPS). CMR is the gold standard for the evaluation of scar after myocardial infarction and MPS the clinical gold standard for ischemia. READ MORE

  6. 4. Co-producing healthcare quality improvement : the prerequisites for, the value of and the lessons from co-production in a Swedish cardiac care setting

    Abstract : Background: The promotion of the best possible health and care is challenging to healthcare organizations worldwide. Healthcare organizations’ capability to improve the quality of care is therefore crucial to the sustainability of the welfare state. READ MORE

  7. 5. Methods for Processing and Analysis of Biomedical TEM Images

    Author : Amit Suveer; Ida-Maria Sintorn; Carolina Wählby; Natasa Sladoje; Jari Hyttinen; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) has the high resolving capability and high clinical significance; however, the current manual diagnostic procedure using TEM is complicated and time-consuming, requiring rarely available expertise for analyzing TEM images of the biological specimen. This thesis addresses the bottlenecks of TEM-based analysis by proposing image analysis methods to automate and improve critical time-consuming steps of currently manual diagnostic procedures.
