Job description
Applicants are invited for a 2-year position as Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Neurology, University of Oslo. The position is available from 1 December 2021.
Healthcare is undergoing fundamental changes. Healthcare services are becoming personalized and digitized; medical treatment is getting more specialized and technically advanced. Services for patients are complex, involving many actors and spanning many sectors. Patients typically face multiple healthcare providers, as well as providers of social-, labor- and welfare services. As a result, patient information is spread across multiple institutions. The introduction of standardized patient pathways is suggested as a solution.
The overall goal of this project is therefore to establish new knowledge and a toolkit for managing and communicating patient pathways. The toolkit will consist of a theoretical fundament, a visual modelling language, and supporting guidelines, methods, and tools.
This project will be a collaboration between SINTEF, the University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital and University of Aalto in Finland. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be a member of the MS Research Group. For more information, see: Multippel Sklerose (MS) - Institutt for klinisk medisin and Prosjektbanken .
