Vacant job

”I have always loved helping others, and the entire role is about, in one way or another, facilitating both for patients and hospital staff.

Even though it is a role primarily focused on documentation and administration, the varied tasks have both challenged and developed me as a person. I also feel that I am doing an important job in patient care. If records are not written, referrals are not sent, or follow-up visits are not booked, patient care comes to a halt. We all do important work for the patient” … this is how one of our employees describes what it is like to work as a healthcare administrator in Region Östergötland.
