Mobile Implementation Officer Patient centered care M/F

The MIO is based in Paris or at a site agreed with the Dirs Op/Med. He/she will spend up to ~70% of the time in the field supporting projects and ~30% in HQ (for updating the mapping done in early 2020, briefings/debriefings and discussions with cells (RP & Med) medical referents, identification of relevant tools, animating debates in HQ etc).

This is a field contract. The duration of field visits in different projects should be a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 2 months.

Purpose

Patient centred care is a key pillar of quality of care. In the 2020-2023 MSF OCP Strategic plan, a key focus is on better understanding the needs and constraints of our patients, of developing partnerships and integrating patients in decision making about their health care. We aim to address the different aspects of patient centred care, including understanding the patient experience, their context and values; improving communication skills of health staff, enhancing continuity of care, and involving patients and communities in the design of our services.

The position is under the functional responsibility of the DirOp adjoint with support from the DirMed.

  • Priorities for field visits are decided after discussion with the relevant cell responsible/medcell[1] and dirop adjoint.
  • He/she falls under the responsibility of the head of mission of the country during field visits.

Activities

The MIO PCC will contribute, through his/her expertise, to supporting field projects in developing patient centred strategies and interventions. These should be based primarily on an analysis and needs expressed by field projects and address their priorities.

He/she will visit field projects and support field teams in identifying concrete and practical steps to implement patient centred care interventions or strategies, along with any relevant assessment, focus groups, training, etc. He/she will support project management in implementation and follow-up of progress, as relevant. He/she ensures the documentation, coherence and dissemination of experience of these activities across OCP projects and HQ, and contribute to leading discussions with the field and HQ on PCC.

5. Document experience and disseminate lessons learned within OCP.

6. Identify potential case study/module on PCC to be included in OCP trainings (FOOT, Forgho, medical leadership)
