Finally, the iStaf team supports the directorate in terms of management support, finance, operations, and communication. PGO falls within the scope of iPolicy team C.

Project

The supra-sectoral project MeerMed has the main goal of making data from the healthcare provider domain available to a patient's Personal Health Environment (PGO). Various sectors are represented within MeerMed, including Medical Specialist Care. The MeerMed team consists of a project manager who collaborates with sectoral project leaders within the different healthcare sectors that implement sectoral plans. This assignment concerns the Medical Specialist Care sector.

Background and Objectives

The former Coalition Agreement of the now caretaker cabinet and the Integral Care Agreement (IZA) state that there must be a well-functioning and well-filled Personal Health Environment (PGO) by 2025. A PGO is a website or app where every citizen can view, manage, and share their health data. The goal of this movement is to promote more control over one's own health for the inhabitants of the Netherlands. Data related to vaccination, population screening, medication declarations, etc., are also relevant for this.

DI-CIO is looking for an Advisor Medical Specialist Care (MSZ) for MeerMed, which aims to make data available to the PGO and the healthcare provider domain (via MijnGezondheidsOmgeving). Within MeerMed, the work agendas and milestone planning developed in collaboration with the IZA working group PGOs are being implemented. The goal is to connect the general practitioner, MSZ, maternity care, mental healthcare, long-term care, and new sectors.

As an Advisor MSZ within MeerMed, you will play a crucial role in the integration and implementation of Personal Health Environments (PGO) within the Medical Specialist Care (MSZ) sector. This includes an active contribution to the transition from the quartermaster phase to the implementation phase, where you are able to lead and define supra-sectoral activities based on the revised vision and sectoral points of attention.
