Purpose: Initial briefs (programs) were examined in order to obtain an overview of current practice in documenting the briefing process for new health care buildings in Sweden. Methodology: An audit instrument was developed and used to examine briefs for the content and quality of information and to determine whether and to what extent the information was comprehensive and patient oriented.

This article presents a conceptual model of the care planning process developed to identify the hypothetical links between structural, process and outcome factors important to the quality of the process. Based on existing literature, it was hypothesized that a thorough assessment of patients' health needs is an important prerequisite when making a rigorous diagnosis and preparing plans for various...<br/><br/>Marie Elf, Maria Poutilova, Kerstin Ohrn (2007) <i>Scand J Caring Sci</i> <i></i> <i></i> 21: 4 530-538<br/>

BACKGROUND: In order to facilitate the collaborative design, system dynamics (SD) with a group modelling approach was used in the early stages of planning a new stroke unit. During six workshops a SD model was created in a multiprofessional group. AIM: To explore to which extent and how the use of system dynamics contributed to the collaborative design process. METHOD: A case study was conducted u...<br/><br/>Marie Elf, Mariya Putilova, Lena von Koch, Kerstin Ohrn (2007) <i>BMC Health Serv Res</i> <i></i> <i></i> 7: <br/>

This study describes the development of a system dynamics model in a design process devoted to planning a new stroke unit. The model was created with a group modeling approach in which several professionals were involved. The advantage of using system dynamics is the simplicity and the ability to reveal the underlying structure of complex problem. Moreover, the method is transparent, showing the m...<br/><br/>Marie Elf, Maria Poutilova, Kerstin Ohrn (2006) <i>Stud Health Technol Inform</i> <i></i> <i></i> 122: <br/>

Earlier studies have shown that patients are dissatisfied with the information they receive from doctors and nurses. The purpose of this study was to analyze satisfaction with information and quality of life in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, considering the patient's information preference. Data were collected during interviews with 30 consecutive patients undergoing chemotherapy fo...<br/><br/>M Elf, K Wikblad (2001) <i>Cancer Nurs</i> <i></i> <i></i> 24: 5 351-356<br/>

The aim of the present study was to monitor the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with head and neck cancer or haematological malignancies during a period from before to after medical treatment, and to investigate the relationships between patient experiences of oral symptoms and HRQOL. The sample consisted of 41 consecutive patients. At the start, during and end of radiotherapy o...<br/><br/>K E Ohrn, P O Sjödén, Y B Wahlin, M Elf (2001) <i>Support Care Cancer</i> <i></i> <i></i> 9: 7 528-538<br/>
