Problemformuleringen lyder som følgende:
The Interactive Hospital
The Interactive Hospital is about making cooperation at a hospital more comfortable.
What is the problem? The work at a hospital, in our case an operating ward, involves a very high degree of cooperation and coordination between, in our case, app. 150 people. Some of this work, we have found, is not constructive cooperation but simply annoying and pointless work. Some examples of the frustrating coordination/cooperation that we wish to do away with:
- trying to find somebody by calling different wards and operating rooms and asking if they have seen person X
- getting disturbed by phone calls from people trying to locate other people (if you are in surgery this is a very serious interruption)
- getting information about the constant changes to the operating schedule
- walking around the operating ward trying to find somebody
- having to find a person before you can deliver a message to that somebody (the need for asynchronous communication)
These examples illustrate that some of the work of clinicians is annoying and frustrating and keeps them from the constructive cooperation that they love. Thus, in order to make the psychological work environment healthier for nurses and doctors, and in turn increase patient safety due to better cooperation, we have developed The Interactive Hospital.
