Our Operations

Healthcare Administrative Service (VAS) is a hospital-wide organization where medical secretaries, administrators, and receptionists provide administrative support to all departments within the hospital. This means that you will be an important part of the care chain at one of Sweden's largest university hospitals with high competence, specialist care, options, and an enormous breadth.

We are leaders in Sweden in diagnosis classification and strive to maintain that position through continuous education for our employees.

Within VAS, we regularly organize training days and opportunities for targeted training aimed at our profession, and we offer great opportunities for varied work. We are constantly developing our operations and dare to try new things and think differently.

With us, you are significant; we have a good community where we support each other and work together for a sustainable work life.

Your Mission

As a medical secretary with us, the tasks are varied with a focus on healthcare administration. As a medical secretary, you contribute to a well-functioning care chain for our patients. We work together to maintain a structured and well-functioning administrative organization where we always have the patient in focus.

In the emergency department, you are an obvious part of the care chain. Here we offer you a varied and exciting assignment that includes care documentation in the emergency room during ongoing trauma alarms. In the event that the hospital goes into reinforcement mode, you contribute with documentation during staff meetings. Here you also work with journal documentation with associated diagnosis coding and subsequent registrations, referral management, telephone service, mail handling, and other commonly occurring administrative tasks.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for someone with an approved education in Health and Medical Care Administration (80p KY/400p YH) or equivalent education for medical secretaries. You have excellent knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form, as well as in medical terminology. Furthermore, you have good IT skills in a Windows environment. We prefer that you have experience in diagnosis classification and previous work in Cosmic is considered an advantage.

Your Competence

To work as a medical secretary with us, a high sense of responsibility and accuracy is required for the administration around patients to function in a patient-safe manner. To succeed in your role, we see that you can collaborate well with all professional categories and have a good ability to adapt to new conditions and situations. In stressful situations, you find it easy to adjust and prioritize work based on the hospital's needs.

You see the value of a flexible approach, are interested in the digital development of our healthcare systems, and enjoy working both independently and together with colleagues. Your service mentality, commitment, and positive attitude contribute to a good work climate, where we all help each other and collaborate to achieve the best quality of care for our patients. We also appreciate your participation in the development of routines and working methods.

We value that you take the initiative to maintain your specialist knowledge and enjoy being a knowledge resource for others.
