About
Research Interests
Kirchhoff's research interest is in health policy and health systems. Especially reforms or other significant changes in health services are topics that he is interested in. The works and projects he works on are typically interdisciplinary and can be sorted under health services research.
Education
PhD in Administration and Organization Theory at the University of Bergen, Norway, focusing on differences between migrated German physicians and Norwegian physicians in hospitals in Norway.
Research
Ph.d. prosjekt: Kommunikasjon mellom fastleger og NAV – en studie av utvidet sykmeldingsblanketter for brukere med vanlige psykiske lidelser
Ph.d-prosjekt: Helsepersonells erfaringer med hendelsesanalyse
Publications
Management and reforms in the Nordic hospital landscape
Use of video communication technology in the light of everyday and/or tele rehabilitation
Aspects of Equality in Mandatory Partnerships – From the Perspective of Municipal Care in Norway
My scientific works within the research profile organization and management are mainly connected to reforms. Healthcare managers influence, lead, give direction and try to create meaning in what happens in and around their organisations. Health managers and society therefore need knowledge of how reform-initiated changes affect various aspects of health services.
