Abstract [sv]

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att bidra med kunskap om hur kundfokus enligt Total Quality Management kan förstärkas i socialtjänstens uppföljning av insatsen vård-och omsorgsboende. Genom kvalitativ metod har dokumentanalys och kartläggning av dokument från socialstyrelsen och tre olika kommuner genomförts för att undersöka vilka verktyg för kvalitetssäkring som används av socialtjänsten idag. Verktygen som inhämtades var identiska i form av kvantitativa uppföljningsfrågor. De bedömdes inte vara tillräckligt kundorienterade ur TQM perspektiv och därför modifierades dessa till en ny intervjumall med öppna frågor. Den modifierade intervjumallen testades på fyra informanter som bor på vård-och omsorgsboende för att undersöka på vilket sätt kundperspektivet i uppföljningsprocessen kan bidra till högre kvalitet på insatsen. Slutsatsen är att uppföljningar med öppna frågor var ett steg närmare kundperspektivet, men dock inte tillräckligt då uppföljningsfrågorna endast undersökte informanternas basbehov. Förbättringsområden på insatsen vård-och omsorgsboende som identifierats från informanternas utsagor stämmer med vad tidigare forskning definierat som största svårighet med implementering av TQM i offentlig sektor: begränsade ekonomiska resurser samt att tillgodose en stor grupps varierade och individuella behov. Begränsade ekonomiska resurser leder till personalbrist, brist på utbud på aktiviteter och hur ofta de kan genomföras samt mindre varierade måltider och sämre kvalitet på råvaror.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this report is to contribute with knowledge of how customer focus from a perspective of Total Quality Management can be strengthened in the social services' follow-up of care and care housing. Qualitative document and survey analysis of documents from the Swedish National Board of Social Affairs and three different municipalities were carried out to investigate which tools for quality assurance are used by the social service today. The tools obtained were identical in the form of quantitative follow-up questions. They were not considered to be sufficiently customer-oriented from TQM's perspective and therefore these were modified to a new interview template with open questions. The modified interview template was tested on four informants who live in nursing homes to investigate how the customer perspective in the follow-up process can contribute to higher quality of the intervention. The conclusion is that follow-ups with open questions were one step closer to the customer perspective, but not enough, since the follow-up questions only examined the informants' basic needs. Areas of improvement in nursing home care services identified from the informants' statements are consistent with what previous research has defined as the greatest difficulty in implementing TQM in the public sector: limited financial resources and meeting a large group's varied and individual needs. Limited financial resources lead to staff shortages, lack of range of activities and how often they can be carried out as well as less varied meals and poor quality of raw materials
