“We are very excited to have Lotta join our team. I have had the opportunity to work with Lotta in the past and know that Lotta has exactly the skills that Encare needs as we gear up for further expansion.

Why have you taken on the position of CSO at Encare, and how will you contribute to the role?
“Never has the need for healthcare been greater, and the pandemic has taught us that resources are finite and needs are infinite, not least in surgical operations.
What I am passionate about, and what has been a common thread in my career, is developing products or services that contribute to improved public health. This can involve the development of services, processes, and infrastructure that provide access to healthcare under new and improved conditions compared to before.
With my experience, I can further contribute to the dialogue with Encare’s customers by enhancing the understanding of the complexity of healthcare. I can translate the prerequisites necessary for more healthcare organizations to embrace evidence-based practices. This way, the patients they care for can be given the best conditions. I aim to be the customer’s voice to enable expansion, both in terms of product development and how the product is used.”
What strategic initiatives are on the agenda for you and for Encare in the coming years?
“I see potential in three areas that share collaboration as the common theme: integrated care systems, new medical fields and technological integration:
- Integrated healthcare systems: This represents a clear strategic direction in several important markets and Encare’s solution offers a scalability that aligns seamlessly with that development. A region with several hospitals and cooperating levels of care can together create large benefits in improved quality and consequently cost savings. By engaging in discussion at the healthcare system level, we can reach more users and assist our customers in maximizing their benefits.
- New medical fields: Standardization and compliance with guidelines is a clear strategic focus supported by Encare’s solution. In the long term, Encare’s concept for perioperative care can also be developed for other areas where evidence-based guidelines or regulatory requirements exist. This requires a collaborative partner that develops guidelines and holds global legitimacy.
- Technical integration: Encare’s customers operate in a challenging reality concerning finances and resources, a challenge shared by other providers in our industry. If we can reduce the time required to capture the necessary data, it is likely a significant benefit that holds substantial value for users and, consequently, customer satisfaction. Both the number of systems and level of integration are factors to evaluate to set the right ambition when developing a marketable and sellable product.”
