Ongoing Projects
Project leader for the IDOQ-study, based at The Institute for Studies of the Medical Profession, Oslo, Norway. This project relates to the term quadruple aim as outlined by Bodenheimer and Sinsky (2014), and explores the, seemingly self-evident but surprisingly overlooked, position that «care for the patients, requires care for the providers». We explore the Interaction between Doctors´ professional fulfillment, Organizational factors and Quality of care (IDOQ). An interactive study working in collaboration with clinician and management at a local hospital. The method is constructed to create both scientific and clinical progress. The study area is conceptually depicted below.
