Are you the one? The aim of the Elderly Council is for individuals to feel independent at home and for us to offer safe and secure care.
To achieve these goals, we work on the basis of four strategies: prevention, collaboration, digitization and skills supply. These strategies permeate the development work that exists in elderly care to take on the challenges we face. The elderly care staff consists of office and quality functions. The staff has an overall responsibility to keep the administration's work and processes together. We carry out the staff's assignments with various cutting-edge skills in collaboration and cooperation based on a good knowledge of operations with the citizen in focus. The staff is headed by a quality manager and a head of office. This role reports to the Head of Quality together with seven other quality functions.
Do you want to help shape safe, secure and high-quality rehabilitation for our elderly? As a medical officer for rehabilitation, you will play a central role in driving development and patient safety within the municipality's healthcare system!
Duties and responsibilities
As a medical officer for rehabilitation, you have overall responsibility for quality and patient safety in the municipal health and medical care, aimed at the activities that have a care provider responsibility under the Health and Medical Care Act. In the elderly care administration, this applies to care homes and home health care, and in disability care the assignment covers special housing and daily activities.
Together with the medical management and in collaboration with employees in the operations, you will be responsible for the systematic and continuous development of quality in the operations. The assignment includes work with deviations, risk and event analyses, notification according to Lex Maria, safe handling of assistive devices and documentation. You have a key role in internal and external collaboration and are expected to provide expert guidance to employees, managers and politicians.
Collegial collaboration takes place with several within the unit, including the medically responsible nurse (MAS), socially responsible coordinator (SAS) and development strategist. Cooperation outside the unit takes place with heads of operations and directors, as well as with the region and other authorities. Cooperation is therefore a key word!
About you
Of course, you are interested in, familiar with and driven by development issues and evidence-based care, and have an interest in the development of the municipality's patient safety work. In the assignment, you need to be sensitive to the different needs that exist in the business and have a solution-focused approach. You see collaboration and cooperation as a natural part of the work. Furthermore, the assignment requires good oral and written communication skills, and that you adapt your communication to the recipient and situation.
