Casper and Pernille participated in Medical Informatics Europe 2023 in Gothenburg. Under the conference theme of "Caring is Sharing - Exploiting Value in Data for Health and Innovation", they presented the paper ‘Medical Secretaries’ Registration Work in the Data-Driven Healthcare Era’.

The paper addresses the challenge that as the ambitions and prospects for data use increase, so does the demand for more and increasingly accurate and complete clinical-administrative datasets and healthcare professionals are under pressure to deliver quality documentation and the organization of the related tasks is challenged. The paper aims to shed light on how a non-clinical group, medical secretaries, supports clinical-administrative documentation as they translate between the clinical and administrative domains. Participating in MIE 2023 was a great opportunity to highlight the need to focus on data work in the field of health informatics.
