This thesis is a systematic review of the Swedish healthcare and hospital-library?s authorities on the consumer health information. The goal is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses that are inherited in two professions (medical and LiS) with two completely different perspectives on mediating information.The method used is a mix between conceptual analysis of the Swedish term ?patient information? and a Critical conceptual analysis, according to Fairclough, of published native theses and international professional journals.Conclusion of the thesis is that although the nursing and medical staff has the necessary medical expertise it does not, in many cases have either the time or skill to completely satisfy a patient or his/her next of kin´s information needs when exposed in a uneasy situation as when in need of treatment or help in any kind.The hospital librarian on the other hand does have the intermediating skills and most often the time to explain complex treatments or medical procedures, but the lack in medical or nursing expertise.In a perfect setting there is an inter-professional cooperation which brings a lot of positive results. The problem today is often to overcome the gap in awareness of one and other that exists in a modern Swedish hospital..

Outsourcing, förflyttning av funktioner till extern part som tidigare funnits i företaget, är ett fenomen som under de två senaste årtiondena har vuxit starkt i världen.

Business Process Outsourcing är en kategori inom detta område, som innebär att företaget outsourcar hela eller delar av sin ekonomifunktion.

Det finns mångtydiga förklaringar till denna framväxt, där en förklaring är att det är en trend.

The project was based on a request to improve an already existing program and hardware at the electrical engineering department at the royal institute of technology. For maximum ease of use, tests have been done on students to properly design the program for what it is meant to be used for. These tests have been transcribed and analysed, then brought back to the group in a discussion and then transcribed and analysed again, I call this process the ?four step process? (this process is presented and explained in chapter 6.4.). A part of this master thesis was also to analyse the four step process to enhance validity of this research.The project resulted in a new program with a new graphical view and features to help students and researchers to work with the technical tool for electromagnetic readings of planar objects.

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskeutbildningens karaktärsämne bygger på ett metaparadigm bestående av begreppen människa, hälsa, miljö och omvårdnad. Detta metaparadigm ligger till grund för de omvårdnadsvetenskapliga teorierna, begreppsmodellerna och slutligen den kliniska professionen. Huruvida vetenskapen ska benämnas omvårdnadsvetenskap eller vårdvetenskap råder ännu ingen konsensus kring, inte heller huruvida omvårdad eller vårdande ska användas som term för sjuksköterskans kunskaps- och kompetensområde. Denna oenighet leder till en begreppsförvirring och en begreppsoklarhet hos studenterna. Vidare uppfattar studenterna ett glapp mellan teori och praktik.
