Description
Focusing on the increasing trend of patient-centered treatment, patient pathways, and treatment packages within contemporary healthcare systems, Johanna Rungholm seeks to go back to the roots of organizational theory and explore the central role of diagnoses in organizing treatment in healthcare. Here, her research aims to investigate how organizational structures and actors at a hospital level coordinate work when disconnecting the stable diagnosis' coordinating role, in absence of straightforward diagnoses, where diagnoses are not possible, or where treatment precedes diagnosis. This project seeks to investigate how two units in a hospital setting collaborate and coordinate work for patients without or with tentative diagnoses. In particular, Johanna seeks to explore how the systems work with and around the group of undiagnosed patients by using a qualitative-dominant research design employing ethnographic observations of work at the Emergency Department (ED) and the Diagnostic Clinic due to these departments coordinating nature.| Period | 24 Apr 2025 |
