Quality Development in Health Care: Participation vs. Accreditation

For more than a decade, quality development in the Danish

Infrastructuring and Participatory Design: Exploring Infrastructural Inversion as Analytic, Empirical and Generative

“…This concern expanded the scope of the discussion to include the Danish national accreditation regime, against which hospitals and their staff are frequently audited to assess how clinical processes comply with local clinical guidelines and national quality standards (Simonsen et al, 2018).…”

“…We experienced that the effects-driven participatory approach (Hertzum and Simonsen, 2011) facilitated the needed openness. The approach focuses on the desired effects and leaves the process open for the user-participants to learn, understand, and experiment in various ways to realize these effects without insisting on any specific methodological techniques or guidelines for how to do this (Simonsen, et al, 2018). At the meetings, tracing, inverting and designing for infrastructural relations followed by reaching closure were enabled by the open agenda of the meetings that provided ample space for discussion and did not stipulate rules for how or what to discuss, apart from an overall focus on the project aim.…”

Sundhedsplatformen i modvind: En analyse af aktørernes teknologiforståelser i danske medier

“…Et par artikler beskaeftiger sig med aendringer i det sundhedsfaglige arbejde i form af dokumentation, sekretaerarbejde og patientinvolvering, som Sundhedsplatformen inden implementeringen forventedes at medføre (Mørck et al, 2018;Brorholt, 2016). Simonsen et al (2018) fremhaever i forbindelse med en belysning af kvalitetssikring i sundhedssektoren Sundhedsplatformen som et eksempel på store teknologi-investeringer på sundhedsområdet, som "dramatisk" forandrer organiseringen af arbejdet, og hvordan organiseringen tilsvarende påvirker teknologien. Endelig omtales Sundhedsplatformen i et par arbejdspapirer: Bossen (2018) beskaeftiger sig kortfattet med, hvordan implementeringen af Sundhedsplatformen forekommer at påvirke ikke bare organiseringen af arbejdet, men også rekrutteringsbehov, afskedigelser og videreuddannelse i de to regioner.…”

Health, care and prosthetics: co-design methodologies in the case of Autofabricantes

“…By disentangling the material and technical elements of affective and aesthetic decisions, we will argue that the transformation of children into designers of their own members has contributed to empowering these communities and naturalizing a set of prosthetics (Callon and Rabeharisoa, 2002). These artifacts and methodologies work as an answer to some of the problems that market-driven initiatives have not solved (Simonsen, Scheuer and Hertzum 2015). Until now, the market offers invasive and expensive designs over which the people concerned have no decision-making capacity or say.The paper will analyze a specific set of workshops, examining the protocols, steps, and strategies developed in order to create an atmosphere that allows for the collective design of complex sociotechnical artifacts (Corsín, 2014).…”
