      Background: Information and communication technologies (ICT) are key to optimizing the outcomes of the Chronic Care Model (CCM), currently acknowledged as the best synthesis of available evidence for chronic illness prevention and management. At the same time, CCM can offer a needed framework for increasing the relevance and feasibility of ICT innovation and research in health care. Little is known ...

      <i>Background</i>: There is a call for bold and innovative action to transform the current care systems to meet the needs of an increasing population of frail multimorbid elderly. International health organizations propose complex transformations toward digitally supported (1) Person-centered, (2) Integrated, and (3) Proactive care (Digi-PIP care). However, uncertainty regarding both the design and ...
    • How do we deal with multiple goals for care within an individual patient trajectory? A document content analysis of health service research papers on goals for care 

      Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Gammon, Barbara Deede; Steinsbekk, Aslak; Salamonsen, Anita; Foss, Nina; Ruland, Cornelia; Fønnebø, Vinjar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-10)
      Objectives: Patients with complex long-term needs experience multiple parallel care processes, which may have conflicting or competing goals, within their individual patient trajectory (iPT). The alignment of multiple goals is often implicit or non-existent, and has received little attention in the literature. Research questions: (1) What goals for care relevant for the iPT can be identified ...

      Health care service provision of individualised treatment to an ageing population prone to chronic conditions and multimorbidities is threatened. There is a need for digitally supported care, that is, (1) person-centred, (2) integrated, and (3) proactive. The research project <i>3P, Patients and Professionals in Productive Teams</i>, aimed to validate and verify the prerequisites for health care ...

      Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2000)
    • Keeping one step ahead: A qualitative study among Norwegian health-care providers in hospitals involved in care coordination for patients with complex needs 

      Høyem, Audhild; Gammon, Barbara Deede; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Steinsbekk, Aslak (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-03)
      <p><i>Introduction</i>: Various efforts aim to enhance continuity of care for patients with long-term health-care needs. Since 2012, Norwegian hospitals are mandated to appoint individual care coordinators for patients with complex needs to ensure continuity in the care pathway. New roles must meld with current practice. Implementation has been slow. This study investigates current care coordination ...
    • Mapping the risk perception and communication gap between different professionals of healthcare providers in cancer care: a cross-sectional protocol 

      Stub, Trine; Musial, Frauke; Quandt, Sara A.; Arcury, Thomas A; Salamonsen, Anita; Kristoffersen, Agnete Egilsdatter; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-03)
      Introduction: Studies show that patients with cancer who use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) have a poorer survival prognosis than those who do not. It remains unclear whether this is due to a priori poorer prognosis that makes patients turn to CAM, or whether there is a factor associated with CAM use itself that influences the prognosis negatively. Healthcare providers should assist ...
    • Patient pathways as social drama: A qualitative study of cancer trajectories from the patient’s perspective 

      Hansen, Frank; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-11)
      <i>Purpose</i>: The number of persons living with and beyond cancer is increasing. Such persons often have complex needs that last, and change, over time. The aim of this study is to get insights of lived experience of person diagnosed with colorectal cancer and to create an understanding of cancer trajectories as a dynamic process. This study thus explores Victor Turner’s model of social drama in ...
    • A person-centered integrated care quality framework, based on a qualitative study of patients' evaluation of care in light of chronic care ideals 

      Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Høyem, Audhild; Lettrem, Idar; Ruland, Cornelia; Rumpsfeld, Markus; Gammon, Barbara Deede (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-20)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Person-Centered Integrated Care (PC-IC) is believed to improve outcomes and experience for persons with multiple long-term and complex conditions. No broad consensus exists regarding how to capture the patient-experienced quality of PC-IC. Most PC-IC evaluation tools focus on care events or care in general. Building on others’ and our previous work, we outlined a 4-stage ...
    • Person-centred, integrated and pro-active care for multi-morbid elderly with advanced care needs: A propensity score-matched controlled trial 

      Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Dalbakk, Monika; Hurley, Joseph; Bergmo, Trine Strand; Solbakken, Beate; Spansvoll, Lisbeth; Bellika, Johan Gustav; Skrøvseth, Stein Olav; Brattland, Trond; Rumpsfeld, Markus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-03)
      <i>Background</i> - Person-centred care (PCC) focusing on personalised goals and care plans derived from “What matters to you?” has an impact on single disease outcomes, but studies on multi-morbid elderly are lacking. Furthermore, the combination of PCC, Integrated Care (IC) and Pro-active care are widely recognised as desirable for multi-morbid elderly, yet previous studies focus on single components ...
    • Policies Make Coherent Care Pathways a Personal Responsibility for Clinicians: A Discourse Analysis of Policy Documents about Coordinators in Hospitals

      <p><i>Introduction</i>: In response to increase of patients with complex conditions, policies prescribe measures for improving continuity of care. This study investigates policies introducing coordinator roles in Norwegian hospitals that have proven challenging to implement.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: This qualitative study of policy documents employed a discourse analysis inspired by Carol Bacchi’s ...
    • Privacy-preserving audit and feedback on the antibiotic prescribing of General Practitioners 

      Yigzaw, Kassaye Yitbarek; Chomutare, Taridzo; Wynn, Rolf; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Bellika, Johan Gustav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-13)
      Background: Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide public health problem that is accelerated by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics. Studies have shown that audits and feedback enable clinicians to compare their personal clinical performance with that of their peers and are effective in reducing the inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics. However, privacy concerns make audits and feedback hard ...
    • User-centred Design of a Digital Care Plan for Patients and Professionals in Cross-organisational Teams 

      Smaradottir, Berglind; Severinsen, Gro-Hilde; Steinsbekk, Aslak; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Care for patients with multimorbidity and long-term complex needs is costly and with demographic changes this group is growing. The research project Dignity Care addresses how to improve the care for this patient group by studying how a conceptual shared digital care plan for complex clinical pathways can guide and support cross-organisational care teams. This paper presents the user-centred design ...
    • “What matters to you?” A longitudinal qualitative study of Norwegian patients’ perspectives on their pathways with colorectal cancer 

      Hansen, Frank; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-12)
      <p><i>Purpose</i>: Person-centred care (PCC) is a well-acknowledged goal throughout the western world both within the health care services sector and for the patients themselves. To be able to create a future health care system that includes improved PCC, we need more in-depth knowledge of what matters to patients, how “what matters” might change over time, and tentative descriptions of commonalities ...
