It looks at how medical consultations can be analyzed using this approach, and how different aspects of healthcare institutions can be understood through text analysis. The researchers explore how patient journeys in hospitals can be seen as sequences of different types of situations, and how risks and failures in healthcare can be addressed using systemic analysis. The study also examines how relationship-centered healthcare can be interpreted using systemic functional linguistics.
