Experienced healthcare IT experts, doers and leaders

Experienced healthcare IT experts, doers and leaders strengthening Karolinska’s “CDR catalyst” integration and AI context

initiative.   We are looking for international top competence that can strengthen Karolinska’s “CDR catalyst” integration and AI

context initiative. These positions are in the form of project recruitments that according to current Swedish regulations can last

maximum 4 years. (If we announce permanent positions during that time, you are of course welcome to apply to those and switch form

of employment.)   - All of the positions (except the project leader one) can be performed mostly remote from anywhere in the

world if you wish – provided you remotely can attend some meetings per week during Swedish business hours and also can travel to

Stockholm some times per year and spend some consecutive days here.  - If you find these tasks exciting, but you are bound by

other existing obligations we may for some positions also consider part time employments, and one or several shorter limited

time contract periods that fit you and us. Such periods can start later during the initiative, but you are wise to

apply already now, since application to this ad has an end date.  Before applying to any of the positions you need to read the

entire “CDR Catalyst” initiative available from:

https://discourse.openehr.org/t/join-or-comment-cdr-catalyst-initiative-from-karolinska/16859  since some of the

filtering questions are based on your thoughts from reading it. Other questions are based on mandatory requirements.  You are also

expected to upload a CV (but no personal letter). We want a balanced expert team so interviews, relevant

knowledge/expertise/experience and CVs carry a lot of weight in the selection process.  We do have other ways to recruit and

procure general IT-competence, including general AI competence, for example Region Stockholm IT Consultancy agreement (a DPS

– dynamic purchasing system open to suitable firms to apply to at any time). So if you do not fit the specific requirements below,

then please focus on getting your firm/employer to join that DPS rather than spending your and our time on an application here.

Applicants should be aware of that, like at most university hospitals, we start with a backlog of unmet needs. The team will

assist in continuously detecting and reducing bottlenecks (technical, organizational/way of work etc.) and in finding all sorts of

ways to catalyze and safely speed up development both within the initiative and in related teams/projects. This can be

done e.g. via better ways-of-work and via automation (including with AI when data can be well understood by AI).  Experienced

health IT project leader (1-2 positions)  Purpose and responsibilities:   - Coordinate all stages of CDR Catalyst initiative by

aligning technical delivery, resource planning, and stakeholder engagement.   - Build a project culture that combines rigorous

semantic and architectural thinking with pragmatic, iterative progress and deliveries.   - The culture you build needs to

be open-minded and safely harbor mixed thoughts, opinions and predictions about the rapidly shifting IT and medical/scientific

landscape. You need to direct the initiative in a way that ensures that clinical teams and researchers can actually use the

resulting systems, tools and data within reasonable time from when new needs surface.   - Coordinate the collaboration

in the (likely international) core CDR Catalyst doer/builder/architect/informatics team and facilitate collaboration with other

teams.  - Coordinate (and help recruit and adjust) the CDR Catalyst international strategic advisory board over different phases

of the initiative.  - At times when the CDR catalyst initiative does not need your full attention and all working hours you

will help leading or assisting other initiatives at the hospital and in the region  Requirements  - You are experienced in talking

directly to clinical stakeholders, researchers, developers, architects and hospital/regional management. A lot of this

communication will be in Swedish during meetings etc. (Even though most will know English very well.)  - You are experienced

in leading teams of experts, getting them to jointly deliver value needed by stakeholders (including end users).  - You

are usually available for weekly meetings in Stockholm (sometimes more often)  - You have a working proficiency in Swedish and

English, so that you can participate in meetings and dialogues in Swedish and Enlgish.   - At least three years of verifiable

experience leading health IT projects, preferably also complex ones.  Meritorious  - Verifiable long experience, educations and

courses in health IT technologies/standards and related leadership  Experienced health IT doers, builders, architects,

informatics- and integration-specialists (2-5 positions)  We believe some of the best candidates for these positions may have

experience and interest covering several of the roles below. Thus the questions for these positions in the ad

are combined so you can describe your skills and interests instead of just picking one of them:  - Senior clinical modeling

experts and integration experts experienced in combinations of openEHR, FHIR, OMOP, SNOMED CT, ontologies, terminology binding

etc. (We suspect most such experts are only available part time)   - Technological realization – smart

doers/builders/toolmakers and AI expertise experienced in electronic health data, and/or “third AI-wave” combinations like

neuro-symbolic solutions. With understanding for and interest in the goals expressed in the CDR Catalyst draft document.  -

Semantic framework (knowledge graph etc.) strategist with deep openEHR and ontology-knowledge [One position for this role is in

the process of being filled already when this ad is published, but we don’t mind more such experts if available full- or

part-time]   Requirements  - Education and experience fitting the role(s) applied for (see questions)   - Remote or on site –

ability to travel to Stockholm some times per year and spending some consecutive days here. And possibility to join remote

meetings during some part of Swedish business hours 1-2 times a week. We’ll try adjust to time zones of team members if possible.

Meritous  - Existing provable deep multi-year engagement in health-IT standardization organizations, research and practical use.

• Experience in disciplined efficient use of AI-agents for creating and maintaining software and other information assets. For

implementation we will use a lot of AI and you must be able to set up the work in control loops with verification etc so

that delegation is safe and the balance between HTIL and automation is continuously being optimized.  - For Senior clinical

modeling experts it is meritous to be very experienced in openEHR, terminology binding using SNOMED CT etc. About the recruitment

process Selection and interviews may be conducted on an ongoing basis, so please apply as soon as possible. In our recruitment

process, we may use Assessio's MAP and Matrigma tests. MAP is a personality test and Matrigma is a non-verbal cognitive ability

test, both of which are based on research in occupational psychology. The tests are used to complement your experience and skills,

and the purpose is to ensure our selection process is quality-assured and transparent. Regarding your application, you need to

attach a CV and instead of a cover letter - we ask you to answer selection questions and briefly explain why you are a good fit

for the role. Answering these questions is a prerequisite for your application to be considered complete. For permanent positions,

a probationary period may apply. We warmly welcome your application - Together we are Karolinska!
