Swedish healthcare systems have endured harsh criticism from healthcare professionals because of their inability to understand healthcare processes. These systems have been identified as significant time consumers, and Swedish healthcare is therefore facing a major challenge to assure patient safety. The following paper is based on a workplace study, which aims to examine healthcare systems? impact on physicians? practices. Our findings show that physicians spend substantial amounts of time chasing information, rather than managing information and pursuing healthcare. Furthermore, we conclude that the structure of healthcare systems is incapable of understanding healthcare activities, which constitutes a hazard for patient safety. This paper draws attention to a need of further research being conducted on healthcare systems, in order to maintain safe patient care.
