About
Antonella Tonna is a health services researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of medication safety, implementation science, and digital health. Her research explores how electronic systems for medicines management can be effectively integrated into hospital settings, with a particular emphasis on understanding the human and organizational factors that drive successful adoption. In her most-cited work, she applies Normalization Process Theory to investigate the perceptions of key stakeholders—including clinicians, pharmacists, and IT staff—regarding the facilitators and barriers to implementing electronic medicines management systems. This study, published in 2020 and accumulating 17 citations, provides critical insights into the real-world challenges of embedding digital tools into complex healthcare workflows. Tonna’s contributions are especially valuable for bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical implementation, offering evidence-based guidance for policymakers and healthcare leaders. Her work is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and its direct relevance to improving patient safety through more efficient, error-resistant medication processes. For students and researchers, Tonna’s research exemplifies how qualitative and theoretical approaches can illuminate the nuanced dynamics of healthcare innovation.
