1. The hospital-wide patient flow - looking beyond borders for improved productivity
Sammanfattning : Demand for healthcare is increasing at a faster pace than hospitals’ capacity. In search of new paths to reverse this development policy makers and healthcare managers look for new methodologies or concepts to improve productivity. One such concept is flow efficiency, focusing on how to better support the throughput of patients, and productivity. LÄS MER
2. Aortic valvular flow : a clinical and experimental doppler echocardiographic study
Sammanfattning : Aortic blood velocity determination by ultrasound Doppler is a safe and valuable tool when evaluating patients with heart disease. The time-course of the velocity signal can be used for detemnining left ventricular function. LÄS MER
3. Blood flow assessment in cerebral arteries with 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging : an automatic atlas-based approach
Sammanfattning : Background: Disturbed blood flow to the brain has been associated with several neurological diseases, from stroke and vascular diseases to Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline. To determine the cerebral arterial blood flow distribution, measurements are needed in both distal and proximal arteries. LÄS MER
4. Patient Safety in the Emergency Department : Culture, Waiting, and Outcomes of Efficiency and Quality
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate patient safety in the emergency department (ED) and to determine whether this varies according to patient safety culture, waiting, and outcomes of efficiency and quality variables.I: Patient safety culture was described in the EDs of two different hospitals before and after a quality improvement project.

5. Patient-Specific Finite Element Modeling of the Blood Flow in the Left Ventricle of a Human Heart
Sammanfattning : Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world. Therefore, numerous studies are undertaken to identify indicators which can be applied to discover cardiac dysfunctions at an early age. LÄS MER
