Abstract [en]
Sweden is in the process of implementing the National Medication List (NLL). The aim of this study was to explore the challenges with the medication management process, as well as expectation for NLL, from a human, organizational, and technology perspective. This study included interviews with prescribers, nurses, pharmacists, patients, and their relatives and was conducted during March to June 2020, before the implementation of NLL. Challenges were (1) feeling lost with several different medication lists, (2) spending time searching for information, (3) being frustrated at parallel information systems, (4) patients being the carriers of information, and (5) the feeling of being responsible in an indistinct process. The expectations for NLL in Sweden were high, but there were several fears.
