“More” Work for Nurses: The Ironies of eHealth

Frennert, Susanne; Petersson, Lena; Erlingsdottir, Gudbjörg

Abstract

eHealth applications are considered a technological fix that can potentially address some of the grand challenges in healthcare, including burnout among healthcare professionals, the growing burden of patients with chronic conditions, and retaining and recruiting healthcare professionals. However, as the deployment of eHealth applications in healthcare is relatively novel, there is a lack of research on how they affect the work environment of healthcare professionals. This study explores how work evolves—particularly for nurses—during the utilisation of three eHealth applications.
