About me
Senior Health Data Expert
I work with health data in clinical, research, and medtech development aspects in general and with the informatics team at Stab Teknik at Karolinska University Hospital. I focus on being a bridge builder between Karolinska University Hospital (KUH), Karolinska Institute (KI), SciLifeLab (ScLL) and Swelife. I am a member of Taskforce I3 which is a health data collaboration between KUH and KI lead by Jonas Molander. I have a specialized knowledge in SNOMED CT, the ontology and reference terminology for medical content within healthcare. My ambition is for healthcare to manage information in a more automatic and supportive way, aiming for single documentation (once-only principle), information centric system design and an integration of semantic interoperability, logistical and regulatory factors, particularly when entering the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and international information standards like SNOMED CT, openEHR, HL7 FHIR and OMOP. I mentoring informatics students and informatics trainees and am engaged in projects like TEF-Health,DIGIfor1HealthSE, SIHRI & Generationsskifte vårdens it, TEHDAS2, and Health Data Guide, as well as medical alert information within national, European and international patient summaries.
Background
I am a physician with many years of experience working in national IT projects
in healthcare to build solutions (Infection Tool 2009-2011 [1], Support for correct sick leave 2013-2017 [2]), investigate specific issues (Attention Information 2008 [3], Your journal
online 2011, Prescription process 2012, Future certification process 2012,
blockchain solution for document sharing 2017) or manage nationally (Snomed CT 2017-2022).
My most significant interest is the border area between technology and medicine, and
using health data for increased knowledge and smoother collaboration in the individual’s
encounter with healthcare.
