The group investigates quality development in general practice: Which factors affect the clinical behaviour in general practice? How do we ensure integration of treatment across primary and secondary care?
In close collaboration with patients, clinicians and organisations in the healthcare sector, the researchers develop, test and evaluate interventions aimed at improving the clinical work and treatment of patients in general practice. A special interest is directed towards the mechanisms that determine clinical behaviour, and how interventions may influence such behaviour.
The group also investigates how new initiatives are best implemented in daily clinical practice. The approach is theory-based, utilising both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Complex interventions are developed based on the framework by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and rapid-cycle user involvement.
The research activities include projects on medication optimisation in elderly residents in nursing homes, anticoagulant therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation, patient involvement in the treatment of multimorbidity, and clinical decision-making and the use of video consultations in general practice.
