Attributable one-year healthcare cost of incident type 2 diabetes: A population-wide difference-in-differences study in Denmark.

Aim: The aim of this study is to estimate the causally attributable one-year healthcare costs for individuals getting a type 2 diabetes diagnosis compared to a matched sample and show the incurred costs of medication and in primary and secondary healthcare.

Methods: Causal estimation using a difference-in-differences design to estimate the one-year health care costs attributable to type 2 diabetes. Danish registry data consisting of the entire population in years 2016-2019.

Impact of decentralized management on sickness absence in hospitals: a two-wave cohort study of frontline managers in Danish hospital wards.

Background: This study explores the impact of decentralized management on the sickness absence among healthcare professionals. Sickness absence is a reliable indicator of employees' wellbeing and it is linked to management quality. However, the influence of decentralized management on sickness absence has not been adequately studied.

Financial incentives for integrated care: A scoping review and lessons for evidence-based design.

Background: In response to the increasing prevalence of people with chronic conditions, healthcare systems restructure to integrate care across providers. However, many systems fail to achieve the desired outcomes. One likely explanation is lack of financial incentives for integrating care.

Experiences of young people living with type 1 diabetes in transition to adulthood: The importance of care provider familiarity and support.

Background: During the developmental transition from childhood to adulthood, young people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are more likely to take less care of their chronic disease. Alongside the developmental transition, young people with T1D also experience an organisational transition in which the care responsibility changes from a family-based approach in paediatric care to an individualised approach in adult care. Little is known from the perspective of the young people about what their interactions with the healthcare providers mean during these transitions.

The effect of virtual specialist conferences between endocrinologists and general practitioners about type 2 diabetes: study protocol for a pragmatic randomized superiority trial.

Background: To support the primary care sector in delivering high-quality type 2 diabetes (T2D), literature reviews emphasize the need for implementing models of collaboration that in a simple and effective way facilitate clinical dialogue between general practitioners (GPs) and endocrinologists. The overall aim of the project is to evaluate if virtual specialist conferences between GPs and endocrinologists about patients living with T2D is clinically effective and improves diabetes competences and organization in general practice in comparison to usual practice.

Methods: A prospective, pragmatic, and superiority RCT with two parallel arms of general practices in the Municipality of Aarhus, Denmark.

The Technology Acceptance of Video Consultations for Type 2 Diabetes Care in General Practice: Cross-sectional Survey of Danish General Practitioners.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, video consultations became a common method of delivering care in general practice. To date, research has mostly studied acute or subacute care, thereby leaving a knowledge gap regarding the potential of using video consultations to manage chronic diseases.

Objective: This study aimed to examine general practitioners' technology acceptance of video consultations for the purpose of managing type 2 diabetes in general practice.

The impact of work-place social capital in hospitals on patient-reported quality of care: a cohort study of 5205 employees and 23,872 patients in Denmark.

Background: Decision-makers increasingly consider patient-reported outcomes as important measures of care quality. Studies on the importance of work-place social capital-a collective work-place resource-for the experience of care quality are lacking. We determined the association between the level of work-place social capital and patient-reported quality of care in 148 hospital sections in the Capital Region of Denmark.

No one can whistle a symphony: how hospitals design for daily cross-boundary collaboration.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how and with which mechanisms health care professionals in practice design for collaboration to solve collective hospital tasks, which cross occupational and departmental boundaries. Design/methodology/approach An in-depth multiple-case study of five departments across four hospitals facing fast to slow response task requirements was carried out using interviews and observations. The selected cases were revealing as the departments had designed and formalized their daily hospital operations differently to solve collaboration and performance issues.

Improving care coordination using organisational routines.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to systematically apply theory of organisational routines to standardised care pathways. The explanatory power of routines is used to address open questions in the care pathway literature about their coordinating and organising role, the way they change and can be replicated, the way they are influenced by the organisation and the way they influence health care professionals.

Design/methodology/approach: Theory of routines is systematically applied to care pathways in order to develop theoretically derived propositions.
