Short summary

This project is an institutional ethnography mapping 11 rehabilitationprocesses in a very detailed manner. We follow the patients before, during and after in-patient rehabilitation and investigate their own rehabilitation work, the work of the different health and social actors involved in the rehabilitation and the documents produced in the process. 

Rationale

The purpose of the study is to investigate what hinders and facilitates coherent rehabilitation processes across sectors for patients suffering from inflammatory arthritis. Further the project aims to contribute to the development of more coherent rehabilitation processes in the future.
