André Johansson

My name is André Johansson and I am a nurse. I have worked in the emergency room since 2011, and have been doing my postgraduate research studies since 2021. My research is about priority triage in the emergency room, and partly also about artificial intelligence in relation to that.

As a clinical nurse, I have participated in revising the decision-making support that is widely disseminated in Sweden. Millions of patient visits every year are affected by this decision-making support. Despite that no good validation studies have been done on it, neither before nor after revisions, it is described as validated. This provoked me and inspired me to start doing research on this subject area. 

I have a lot of positive experiences of the postgraduate research studies, especially to be able to plunge into issues you are interested in. It felt wrong to not take the opportunity to enrol, as I felt I had both the interest and the capacity to do it. 

I think numbers and data are interesting, and now I get the opportunity to really look into these questions I have been curious about for a very long time, and to se how it is. The research process goes from “I think reality looks like this” to really knowing how it is, and maybe also a little about why it is that way.
