Vacant job

Do you want to develop health data registers and statistics for monitoring Swedish healthcare? Health data is in an interesting and eventful time, not least with the preparation of a new health data register law, the introduction of new code sets, and data sharing in Europe. We now have an exciting position that involves varied tasks within investigation, production, management, and development of registers and statistics for new data sets within primary care and open specialized care.

About the position

The position is located at the Statistics Department. You will work in one of the teams that jointly manage and develop registers and statistics in the areas of healthcare and pharmaceuticals. You will work with varied tasks related to the development of registers, production and publication of statistics in the health data area, and as needed lead or participate in government assignments and self-initiated projects at the agency. In the work, you have many internal and external contacts and maintain ongoing dialogue with both data providers (regions) and users of registers and statistics, such as researchers, journalists, and decision-makers. A significant part of your role will involve work within the development of the Patient Register. Our colleagues strive to be a competent and engaged team, driving work forward through close collaboration and a high degree of trust, creating good conditions for personal development.

About you

To thrive in this role, it is important that you have good communication and collaboration skills and are comfortable representing the National Board of Health and Welfare in various contexts. You also need to be driven, solution-oriented, analytical, and curious. Since the tasks are varied, you need to be able to shift focus between detail-oriented work and being able to step back and see the big picture. In the recruitment process, we will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.

We are looking for someone who has

• Experience working in the areas described above, or from research, statistics production, or clinical work.
• An academic degree in fields such as health informatics, statistics, medicine, or other education deemed relevant by the National Board of Health and Welfare.
• At least 30 credits in statistics and/or quantitative methods.
• Good oral and written communication skills in Swedish and English.

It is meritorious if you have

• Experience working with health data.
• Experience working in healthcare information systems, e.g., medical record systems.
• Programming skills in, for example, SAS or SQL.
• Knowledge of healthcare information flows.
• Knowledge of waiting time reporting and measurement.
• Knowledge in areas such as pharmaceuticals, health data registers, healthcare, and coding of conditions and diseases according to ICD.
