Sammanfattning
In Denmark and the other Scandinavian countries, municipalities have in recent years tested and implemented welfare technologies in the elderly-, disabled- and health sector. The purpose of this article is to analyze opportunities and obstacles in the implementation process of welfare technology in a Danish municipality through semi-structured research interviews and a web-based survey from an employee perspective. The article shows concretely how welfare technological solutions are not neutral elements in a municipal practice, but must be seen as actants, which shift and change routines. It identifies five elements in the implementation process which are important for the employees: (1) changes of work routines; (2) new professional tools; (3) new insights and roles; (4) management support and (5) welfare technology must make sense. The article thus indicates that in the future the municipalities should pay far greater attention to these elements when they implement welfare technology projects. And therefore, they increasingly need to be aware that technology has an impact on the context and vice versa.
