New PhD Thesis from the Interventional Centre
– Bjørn Erik Mørk defended his thesis Changing practices- A practice based study of cross-diciplinary technology development in hospitals from the Interventional Centre, Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, Faculty of Medicine at University of Oslo, Department of Leadership and Organizational Management, BI Norwegian School of Management, Oslo and Institute of Health Management and Health Economics at University of Oslo. This study examined why breakthroughs in knowledge may fail to be translated into medical practice. These novel practices often lack alignment with existing practices, or they cut across established professional boundaries and power structures. Despite this, we know that establishing practices across heterogeneous groups of actors, i.e. science, politics and industry, can facilitate interactive innovations. This project investigated how this was accomplished in practice in the context of cross-disciplinary technology development in hospitals. The dissertation is based on a longitudinal study of the Interventional Centre, Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, Norway.
