Vacant job

"I have always loved helping others, and the whole role is about, in one way or another, facilitating things for both patients and hospital staff. Even though the role focuses mainly on documentation and administration, the tasks are varied and have both challenged and developed me as a person. I also feel that I am doing important work in patient care. If medical records are not written, referrals are not sent, or follow-up visits are not booked, patient care comes to a standstill. 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.
