Erica Falkenström was recently praised by the Swedish Medical Ethics Council for her conclusions about ethical competence in health care leadership.
In the longer term, she sees a risk to patient safety when employees need to spend more and more time and energy filling in various measurements during their work shifts.
She points out that the responsibility for the care environment's work environment and the conditions for conducting good care lies with politicians and the top managers in health care.
