Abstract

Healthcare organisations face multiple challenges, often conceptualised as appropriate care. It requires change on different levels: healthcare systems (macro), healthcare organisations (meso), and healthcare professionals (micro). This study focuses on bottom-up changes initiated by healthcare professionals. The aim is to investigate hindering and stimulating factors healthcare professionals experience.
