PhD Project
As a PhD candidate, I am affiliated with the research project MedSafe-Old: Ensuring medication safety for older recipients of municipal home care services which investigates how digital solutions influence medication safety in municipal health and care services for home-dwelling older adults. The overall aim of my project is to explore and understand how digitalization, particularly electronic multidose dispensing (eMDD) and electronic error reporting systems, affects the quality and safety of medication management in home care services.
The project focuses on how the implementation and use of digital tools reshape work processes, responsibilities, and collaboration within the services. It examines how the transition to electronic systems influences prescribing quality, information flow, and coordination among actors involved in the medication process. Additionally, it investigates how medication management errors are reported, managed, and utilized in systematic quality improvement efforts.
Through several sub-studies, the project analyzes experiences, practices, and registry data to develop a comprehensive understanding of emerging challenges, and of how digital systems may both enhance safety and introduce new areas of risk.
The project is theoretically grounded in a perspective that emphasizes the interplay between technology, human actors, and organizational structures. This framework is applied to examine how digital solutions function as active components of clinical practice and how they influence decision-making, workflow, and patient safety in home care services.
The overall objective is to generate knowledge that can strengthen the quality and safety of medication management and support the further development of safe and effective digital solutions in municipal health and care services.
