Disputas Audhild Høyem

Master i helsefag Audhild Høyem disputerer for ph.d.-graden i helsevitenskap og vil offentlig forsvare avhandlingen: "Continuity of care for patients with long-term complex needs - implications for clinical hospital practice."

Kort sammendrag av avhandlingen:

This thesis investigates implications for hospital practices in realizing continuity of care for patients with complex, or long-term needs at the intersection between policy, practice, and patient experiences. Three qualitative studies were conducted: A discourse analysis of policy documents, an interview study with healthcare professionals, and an evaluative analysis of patient pathways using individual interviews.
It was found that the Norwegian policies on coordinator roles in hospitals highlight ideals that resonate well with what patients want in terms of continuity of care. However, both patients and healthcare providers experienced substantial challenges related to the realization of these ideals. To improve this situation, it is suggested that a pathway infrastructure is implemented for these patients, with structural requirements that still allow for variation.
