Lund University is one of Sweden's largest universities, with around 45,000 students and more than 8,000 employees. The Faculty of Medicine at Lund University offers eight courses with 2,800 full-year students for nurses, specialist nurses, and doctors.

​

The research group Children's and Family Health at Lund University has 20 years of experience in developing, evaluating, and implementing various e-health solutions for home-based healthcare through multidisciplinary collaboration and the use of an international theoretical framework. Our research became particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic when the solutions we developed provided significant benefits for staff and patients, enabling secure communication between parents and healthcare providers of sick children at home.

​

From 2019 to 2022, we were a partner in the Interreg project "The Interregional Childhood Oncology Precision Medicine Exploration Project." We developed and implemented two different e-health solutions in Sweden and Denmark to facilitate communication between home and hospital and to strengthen the child's and parents' ability to self-care. Additionally, we have extensive experience in implementing and evaluating the training of healthcare personnel in both healthcare and home healthcare.

​

Our experiences with e-health solutions in nursing care highlight the importance of integrating knowledge on how to work with e-health into care education and with care staff. We bring both practical and theoretical expertise in implementing complex interventions in healthcare, training healthcare staff and students, as well as experience in home healthcare and various forms of e-health solutions. We also have a well-established project organization and extensive experience working with digital evaluation methods, engaging students and healthcare staff through participatory design, and collaborating with companies, educational institutions, and hospitals in the Nordic region.

​

Lund University leads WP6 in NorDigHE, focused on evaluating the effects of the NorDigHE education. The evaluation of NorDigHE is conducted using validated questionnaires and a user-friendly application for electronic data collection (RedCap). This process includes a baseline evaluation at the start of training and evaluations at three months and 15 months after the completion of the training.

​

The work involves designing a study protocol, creating an evaluation design, conducting ethics reviews in Sweden, and summarizing the evaluation results in a report that will be included in the final report to InterregØks.
