Our Operations

The Unit for Analysis and Development is a central support function for all hospital operations and hospital management. Our mission is to create the conditions for a data-driven and efficient operation through analysis, business development, production planning, and follow-up. Together with the operations, we develop processes and patient flows to strengthen quality, accessibility, and resource utilization in healthcare.

Do you want to contribute to patients receiving care in a timely manner and help develop one of Sweden's largest university hospitals? As the Central Accessibility Coordinator, you play a key role in improving healthcare accessibility and ensuring compliance with the healthcare guarantee. The accessibility work at Akademiska Sjukhuset aims to reduce patients' waiting times for care. This is driven nationally through legislation, state grants, assignments from the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) and SKR, as well as jointly within the various administrations of Region Uppsala.

At Akademiska Sjukhuset, accessibility work is broad and varied, and we continuously work to quality-assure our waiting lists and time-related registrations in both somatic and psychiatric care. We work to improve patient flows in both outpatient and surgical operations.

Your Role

As the Central Accessibility Coordinator, you have a key role in Akademiska Sjukhuset's work to ensure that patients receive care in a timely manner and that the healthcare guarantee is followed. The role includes having comprehensive knowledge of the regulations governing waiting times in healthcare, as well as supporting, guiding, and informing the operations according to existing regulations.

You work hospital-wide to coordinate, develop, and quality-assure accessibility work. The role involves close collaboration with operations, hospital management, and Region Uppsala, where you serve as the hospital's expert support and contact person for accessibility-related issues.

You are part of an engaged team of accessibility coordinators working hospital-wide. In close collaboration with the accessibility coordinators in the various operations, you develop working methods, follow-up, and analysis to improve patients' access to care and ensure high quality in accessibility work.

As the Central Accessibility Coordinator, you lead and coordinate the hospital's network of accessibility coordinators. You are responsible for ensuring common working methods, competence development, and knowledge transfer, and you serve as a qualified support for both coordinators and operations.

The role includes:

• supporting and developing the hospital's accessibility work
• ensuring high quality in registration, follow-up, and reporting
• analyzing accessibility data and identifying areas for improvement
• interpreting and translating national regulations and guidelines into practical work
• serving as the hospital's link to Region Uppsala and participating in various national forums on issues related to accessibility and the healthcare guarantee.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for you who have very good knowledge of the medical record system Cosmic, as well as experience working in SAS Viya or similar analysis and follow-up tools.

You have good knowledge of the healthcare guarantee and an understanding of how accessibility data is used for steering, follow-up, and business development.

To succeed in the role, you need to be able to combine analytical skills with a strong focus on operations. You easily see connections in complex processes, translate data into insights, and create understanding among different target groups.

As a person, you are:

• pedagogical and confident in training and guiding others
• structured and quality-conscious
• solution-oriented and proactive
• communicative and skilled at building trust-based relationships
• self-sufficient while thriving in collaboration and driving issues together with others.

Experience working with accessibility issues within healthcare is meritorious.
Here, you will have the opportunity to work at the intersection of operations, analysis, and development, with a mission that makes a real difference for patients' access to care.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This entails no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who, in the sought position, may work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care for children and youth, or compulsory care for addicts, areas covered by optional register extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks currently are not intended to primarily involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
