Innovation is an interactive learning process that is facilitated naturally by geographic proximity. Innovation intermediaries can serve as an extra catalyst to and facilitator of interaction and collaboration. With today’s more globalized knowledge and innovation landscape, companies and research organizations seek complementary competencies and partners with whom they can collaborate on a much b

Background: Work capacity correlates weakly to disease concepts, which in turn are insufficient to explain sick leave behavior. With data mainly from Sweden, a welfare state with high sickness absence rates, our aim was to develop an explanatory theory of how to understand and deal with work absence and sick leave. Methods: We used classic grounded theory for analyzing data from >130 interviews wi

The purpose of the Swedish specialist examination in Emergency Medicine is not only to determine whether residents have attained the level of competence of specialists, but also to guide and facilitate residency training.

This article discusses the issue of the right to health care for irregularised migrants in Sweden, from a human rights perspective.

This paper examines the determinants of hip fracture costs and further evaluates potential savings in costs when the occurrence of hip fracture is prevented. The costs of hip fracture are comprised of direct costs from health care and the social welfare system. Data were collected for 1,080 postmenopausal women admitted from private residence for primary hip fracture surgery during the year of 199

This paper tests the null hypothesis of no horizontal inequity in delivery of health care by use of count data hurdle models and Swedish micro data. It differs from most earlier work in three principal ways: First, the tests are carried out separately for physician and hospital care; second, the tests are carried out separately for the probability of seeking care and the amount of care received (g

Background: Cost-effectiveness models in Parkinson’s disease often include health states based on Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) and time in ‘off’. Few studies have investigated utilities in these health states. Objective: The aim of this study was firstly to explore utilities in health states based on H&Y and off-time, and secondly to investigate to what extent H&Y and off-time correlated with

Hypothermia is a common adverse event during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), affecting multiple organ systems and increasing risk of poor health outcomes among patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing CRRT. TheraMax blood warmers are the next generation of extracorporeal blood warmers which reduce risk of hypothermia during CRRT. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur det fysiska och det digitala flödet för sterilhantering av instrument kombineras på ett sjukhus. Detta för att kunna utläsa hur dessa två flöden stödjer varandra mot riskförebyggande för att tillgodose behoven för ett framgångsrikt tjänstemöte.

Modern software systems often utilize a distributed architecture, which uses the network as the communication channel. This results in the system being dependent on the network performance to behave as expected. The network performance varies, and network faults can occur, which may negatively affect the system. As a system maintainer, it is difficult to know if the problem lies in the service or

Trots vårt moderna samhälle med ett materiellt överflöd och till synes vägar för alla att vara delaktiga, bidra och få hjälp finns fortfarande grupper i samhället som behöver stöd. Dessa grupper inkluderar bland annat personer med olika former av funktionsnedsättningar, som inte utan hjälp kan vara en aktiv del i samhället, eller i en del fall inte ens ta hand om sig själva. Dessa grupper behöver

The competition in the automotive industry is constantly increasing and it is no longer sufficient for a company to only deliver a physical product. The companies’ ability to fill a need and provide a solution including a combination of both tangible and intangible products is becoming increasingly important. The service a company offers can be a critical factor for success why a company needs to

Det råder en hög konkurrens inom reseindustrin, både mellan resebyråer men också genom den bokning som sker på internet, det blir därmed avgörande att skapa konkurrensfördelar genom kundrelationer. Frontpersonal måste alltid leverera god service samtidigt som det ständigt efterfrågas ett högre tempo och ökad försäljning. Då forskning visar att dessa två komponenter inte går att kombinera då den en

I en allt mer krympande värld, måste organisationer lära sig att snabbt reagera på marknadsförändringar. Medan organisationer blir bättre på att införa nya affärsprocesser, kvarstår problemet med en tungrodd och svårföränderlig IT–miljö. Det hela görs inte bättre av att organisationer blir mer och mer beroende av sin IT–infrastruktur. Det hela blir en paradox, då det som organisationerna är mest b
