Of course, you cannot do everything. That is why, together with our team, we identified a number of focus areas in which we aim to strengthen the care work environment through research that bridges the individual, team, and organizational levels. Our work is rooted in interprofessional collaboration and systems thinking, creating strong synergies between research, education, clinical practice, and policy.
Our priorities include:
Work context and culture – examining the organizational, (inter)professional, and psychosocial factors that shape care practice.
Professional development – promoting professional development within nursing and midwifery practice.
Leadership and work systems – exploring how leadership, teamwork, and supportive working conditions contribute to professional development and clinical excellence.
Evidence-based strategies – developing and implementing strategies that optimize care quality, improve patient outcomes, and strengthen professional wellbeing.
Innovation in technology and education – examining how technological and educational innovations can better support care teams in their daily practice.
Population-focused care – anticipating the changing needs of diverse populations through tailored, equitable, and inclusive care models and decision-support tools.
