“…However, the same processes required a certain level of knowledge about the relevant technological solutions. As Corneliussen and Dyb have shown, the health authorities launched a discourse about welfare technology claiming that it had mostly to do with humans and organization of health care services, promoting the idea that welfare technology was something that could be implemented mainly with a focus on humans and organization (Corneliussen & Dyb, 2017). While this strategy can be seen as one way of motivating a non-technical health care profession to engage with a technology implementation process, this also undermined the need for technical competence in a way that made many health care leaders struggle with this new technology.…”

This paper analyses a regional solution to digital transformation of health care services in Norway during the period 2014 to 2020. Facing the national health authorities' requirements for implementing welfare technology in public health care services, this rural region with its many small and medium-sized municipalities developed a unique framework for supporting this task across the small units. First, collaboration between organizations representing a wide set of competences, roles, and positions in the region and locally; second, a regional center responsible for developing health care services thatunlike other similar centers in Norway, took on a role to lead this work; and third, a regional emergency central originally developed for fire services taking on the role as the technical expert in the region. The analysis is based on documentation, project reports and interviews with participants from the project. While national guidelines for implementation of welfare technology have been important for motivating this work, many challenges were left for municipalities to solve, in particular the question pursued here: how should local and regional traditions be transformed to integrate technology in a sector and among professional groups that traditionally have not been associated with technology? The findings show that the regional model for collaboration supported the municipalities' health care services in this task by building on a regional model for cross-sectoral collaboration as well as regional trusted networks and channels of communication in unique ways in a national context.

“…I siste omgang har vi oppsummert disse utfordringene i (Gjelsvik et al, 2016). Mer enn at velferdsteknologi endrer helsefaglig arbeid, så oppstår det et behov for nye former for kompetanse hos de ansatte (Corneliussen & Dyb, 2017). Dette gjelder saerlig i implementeringsarbeidet.…”

“…I kjølvannet av velferdsteknologibegrepets gjennomslag i politikkutvikling og i praksisfeltet har det i løpet av de siste årene utviklet seg kritisk akademisk diskusjon rundt begrepets nytteverdi og utfordringer (e.g. Corneliussen & Dyb, 2017;Isaksen & Stokke, 2017). Denne kritiske diskusjonen har trolig mye for seg.…”

“…Implementering av velferdsteknologi står høyt oppe på agendaen i de nordiske landene for å imøtekomme utfordringer i helse-og omsorgssektoren (Socialdepartementet, 2016;Helse-og omsorgsdepartementet, 2013). I politiske dokumenter forventes implementering av velferdsteknologi å føre til innovasjon som både skal effektivisere de kommunale helseog omsorgstjenestene og avlaste dem gjennom å la eldre og kronisk syke bo lenger i eget hjem (NOU 2011:11;Helsedirektoratet, 2012;Helse-og omsorgsdepartementet, 2006;Helse-og omsorgsdepartementet, 2013;Corneliussen & Dyb, 2017). Som Nordens välfärdcenter påpeker, er det likevel implementert langt faerre nye løsninger enn forventet i kommunene (Søndergaard, 2017).…”

Municipalities are core welfare agencies in the Nordic countries, and as such have an obligation to supply their own services as well as to implement new technologies. Welfare technologies have in recent years assumed increasing importance in the Nordic countries as an important tool for innovating healthcareas a way to improve quality as well as to achieve better cost efficiency. However, many municipalities have experienced a number of problems when implementing these technologies. In this paper, we investigate the challenges of implementing welfare technologies in municipal healthcare by exploring how the characteristics of welfare technologies cause difficulties for the people working to implement them. The analysis is based on data from four different studies carried out in Norwegian municipalities. We summarize our findings as three aggregated characteristics of welfare technologies (interdisciplinary, interconnected, and ubiquitous). We discuss how these characteristics challenge the implementation of welfare technologies and argue that recognizing and attending to these characteristics is essential for successful implementation.

Welfare technology is described as the knowledge and use of technology that can maintain and/or increase the feeling of safety, activity, participation, and independence for a person (any age) who has or is at increased risk of having/developing a disability (Hagen 2011, Modig 2012, Hofmann 2013, Bygstad and Lanestedt 2017, Kilbourn and Bay 2010, Corneliussen and Dyb 2017, Östlund et al 2015.…”

Background: Welfare technology is a concept that appears as one of the answers to how to meet the need for care in growing older populations. Although technology has been used for decades in eldercare, it is under-problematized and there is a lack of knowledge about how effective it really is. Objectives: This paper reviews the usage of technologies in eldercare and describes determinants of successful implementation of technologies in eldercare. The review aims to summarize and critically evaluate important aspects of technology usage in eldercare. Method: A narrative review method was selected for analysis of the literature. Through applying a narrative perspective to review the literature on technologies in eldercare, a broad understanding is gained of the contextual factors and main key success factors of implementing technologies in eldercare. Result: The review yield 71 publications related to technologies in eldercare. Seven themes were identified: (1) curriculum of technologies in eldercare; (2) on technologies; (3) evaluation models; (4) key success factors; (5) perception – care personnel; (6) perception – older users; and (7) controversies and dilemmas Discussion and Implications: The result of the review shows that technologies in eldercare are promoted to enable more seamless, efficient, patient-centered and safe care, however technologies might be contributing to making eldercare more fragmented, time-consuming, technology-centered and risky. Technologies in eldercare are only as successful and suitable as organizational culture, infrastructure and management practice allow them to be.
