Abstract Background The Danish Health Authority recommended the implementation of new types emergency departments. Organizational changes in hospital sector challenged role, identity, and autonomy medical specialists. They tend to identify with their specialty, which can challenge successful change. However, investigations on specialty identity are rare science, how co-existence different identities influences departments needs be explored for development tailored strategies. aim this study...

Introduction Older medical patients (&gt;65 years) represent 54% of the admissions to Danish and emergency departments. Acute bed-rest during hospitalisation are independent risk factors for death dependency in older patients. Even short hospitalisations associated with increased activities daily living after discharge. Interventions that increase mobility therefore important. The purpose this protocol is describe intervention design WALK-Copenhagen project, aimed at increasing 24 hours...

Abstract Background There is a long-standing debate in implementation research on whether adaptations to evidence-based interventions (EBIs) are desirable health care. If an intervention adapted and not delivered as conceived planned, it said have low fidelity. The WALK-Cph project was developed based the assumption that involving stakeholders co-design processes would facilitate fidelity of increase mobility acutely admitted older medical patients its two hospitals Denmark. purpose this...

Abstract Background Physical locations play an essential yet often overlooked role in healthcare implementation processes. Implementation Science frameworks such as the Theoretical Domains Framework, Consolidated Framework for Research, and Context framework acknowledge importance of physical environment, but they treat it a passive backdrop change. However, from cultural geographic perspective, spaces places are dynamic, influencing behavior, social structures, acceptance new practices....
