Project Manager Knowledge Platform AI in Healthcare Program

Project overview

Program The 'Realization of AI in Healthcare' program aims to accelerate the safe, reliable, and effective deployment of AI in the healthcare sector to improve accessibility and quality of care, with a primary focus on reducing administrative workload. To achieve this, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) will lead the program, working with healthcare and chain partners on two tracks: Establishing a conducive healthcare climate for efficient and safe AI deployment. Implementing AI applications, such as speech-controlled reporting and capacity planning.

Within the program, 5 program lines are defined: AI-readiness, Framework Conditions, Generic Language Functionality, Communication & Education, and National Support Structure. For the development of the Knowledge Platform (one of the four functions to be established within the National Support Structure program line), we are looking for an entrepreneurial project manager who does not start from extensive analyses or design processes, but from a Lean Startup approach: rapid development, testing, learning, and improvement. We are looking for a doer who will actively work on realizing a solution.

Naturally, this will be done in a well-considered manner and in close coordination with the involved stakeholders, such as the project leaders within the program and the various involved umbrella organizations. The primary focus in the preparatory phase will be on providing a place to find and share knowledge. However, the Knowledge Platform must also be functionally deployable later for the helpdesk, thematic expert teams, and the community. This must be considered in the technical design from the beginning, but not yet elaborated in detail.

Assignment Description Setup and organization of the Knowledge Platform: Define minimum functionalities (Statement of Work) for providing a place to find and share materials, thereby offering sufficient added value for users. Prepare (technical) requirements for the initial (finding) phase, and also outline the future functions of community, thematic expert teams, and helpdesk (including attention to information security and the access policy approach). Select which substantive topics are best suited for an initial MVP (low-hanging fruit, existing sources).

Design a working prototype (MVP), considering the primary target group in the first phase (namely the consortia executing the breakthrough projects) and the minimum requirements (technical and functional). Deliver advice for further development (from 2027), management, and governance. Consider aspects like a roadmap for development, monitoring, evaluation, and further development. The assignment will be elaborated in further detail at the start in a letter of assignment. Knowledge, Experience, Competencies, and Skills Required knowledge and experience: University work and thinking level.

Experience as an advisor in designing knowledge platforms (3-7 years of work experience). Experience with agile/MVP approach, prototyping, and user testing. Important competencies and skills for this assignment include: Requirements analysis and translating user needs into functional and technical requirements. Strategic thinking ability: ability to develop roadmaps, governance and management models, and business cases. Communication and advisory skills, with the ability to switch between substantive, legal, and technical parties.

Stakeholder and chain collaboration: networking skills, consensus building, negotiation, establishing governance, and decision-making with umbrella and system parties. Analytical and results-oriented: maintaining an overview and prioritizing. Communication and editorial skills: clearly writing plans, preparing administrative documents, presenting, and facilitating sessions. Leadership and results orientation: ownership, decisiveness, progress monitoring, quality assurance, and embedding results in the line.

Background of the Assignment Client The Directorate of Information Policy/CIO (DICIO) of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) works with energy and enthusiasm on various themes in the field of ICT in healthcare, such as data exchange in healthcare, AI in healthcare, personal health environment (PGE), secure access to your medical record, big data, and cybersecurity in healthcare. Digitalization of healthcare is about the right information at the right time and in the right place, so that healthcare providers can deliver the right care.

This contributes to the realization of VWS policy objectives aimed at a healthy, fit, and resilient Netherlands. Now and in the future. The Directorate of Information Policy consists of six clusters. The three iPolicy clusters work on, among other things, information policy for healthcare. The professional policy teams consist of a good mix of policy advisors and project secretaries. The CIO Office of VWS and the iRegie team are also part of the directorate. Finally, the iStaf team supports the directorate in terms of management support, finance, operations, and communication.

Requirements Candidate demonstrably possesses a university work and thinking level. Verifiable in CV and motivation (evident from completed education and/or at least 1 year of work experience at university level). Candidate possesses demonstrable knowledge in the healthcare sector. Candidate demonstrably possesses at least 3 years of work experience with designing knowledge platforms. Wishes Degree of knowledge the candidate has of knowledge platforms. Degree of experience the candidate has with projects in healthcare and/or government.

Degree to which the candidate possesses the required competencies and skills (verifiable in CV, motivation, and/or possible interview). Degree of experience and/or affinity with the client's organization. Additional Information When you, as a supplier, offer a professional to us and they are placed, we will need information from you as a contracting party, including regarding the Chain Liability Act (Wet keten- en inlenersaansprakelijkheid). The 'WKA' aims to prevent abuse in the remittance of payroll taxes at all levels in the chain; from supplier to client.

We cover these risks for our clients through a blocked account, the G-account. This is an account to which a portion of the invoice amount is deposited and from which you can pay payroll taxes and VAT to the Tax Authorities. The percentage to be deposited depends on whether you have SNA certification (NEN-4400-1 or NEN-4400-2) and whether your company is located in the Netherlands or abroad. You can apply for the G-account from the Tax Authorities.

If you cannot obtain a G-account (and you can provide proof of this from the Tax Authorities), you also have the option to submit an accountant's statement (assurance report regarding personnel lending) quarterly. In this, a certified accountant (AA or RA) will issue a statement about the correctness, completeness, and timeliness of the remittances. Please note that the costs for this statement are at your own expense.
