Welcome to attend the seminar!

Welcome to the JMW salen at the University library and attend lectures by JU's honorary doctors. 

Peter Björkman is Light Planning Manager at Fagerhult Lighting and has been a driving force in product and application development for almost two decades. He has had a close and long-standing collaboration with Jönköping University, where he has been a key figure in the development of the bachelor's programme in lighting design and lighting technology – a programme that is unique in its kind both nationally and internationally.

As a former student and member of the programme's industry council, Björkman has contributed both practical expertise and strategic development. Through lectures, research collaborations and an active partnership between Fagerhult and JU, he has promoted knowledge exchange and inspired the lighting designers of the future. His passion for the role of light in community building makes him an obvious choice for an honorary doctorate.

The lectures are held at Jönköping University and are open to everyone – a unique opportunity to learn about current research, socially relevant perspectives and visions for the future. Read more about the programme and the honorary doctors. This lecture is held in Swedish.

Welcome to the JMW salen at the University library and attend lectures by JU's honorary doctors. 

Joakim Paasikivi is a retired lieutenant colonel with a long career in the Swedish Armed Forces, where he has served as a lecturer in military strategy at the Swedish National Defence College in Stockholm and the Baltic Defence College in Estonia. He has held leading roles in intelligence and security services in both Sweden and Finland. Since retiring in 2024, he has been working as a geopolitical advisor at Mannheimer Swartling.

Paasikivi became a familiar face in the Swedish media during Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, where he explained complex security policy issues to the public with pedagogical clarity. His efforts as an educator and analyst in geopolitics, international relations and civil preparedness have made him a trusted voice in public discourse – and an invaluable contributor to an informed and resilient civil society.

The lectures are held at Jönköping University and are open to everyone – a unique opportunity to learn about current research, socially relevant perspectives and visions for the future. Read more about the programme and the honorary doctors. 

MMTC breakfast meeting

Healthcare as a Learning Health System (LHS) to Address Complex Challenges

Against the backdrop of today’s major challenges in health and social care, this seminar introduces the concept of Learning Health Systems (LHS) – what they are in theory and how they can be applied in practice to support continuous improvement through coproduction and learning, powered by data and new technologies.

During the seminar, we will explore how improvement science, implementation science, and coproduction are interconnected and contribute to developing a well-functioning LHS. We will also introduce the emerging field of academic Learning Health Systems, where universities and healthcare organizations collaborate to drive change, and discuss the competencies needed for the LHS researchers of the future.

The seminar is led by Katherine Stevenson from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, and Andreas Gremyr from Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg.

Katherine Stevenson taught in the Master’s Programme in Quality Improvement and Leadership at the School of Health and Welfare, Jönköping University, between 2009 and 2018, where she was responsible for several courses in improvement knowledge. She is now a postdoctoral researcher in Canada and will share current research from the University of Saskatchewan while also exploring opportunities for international collaboration.

Andreas Gremyr has a background as a psychologist and improvement leader in psychiatry. He holds a Master’s degree in Quality Improvement and a PhD from the School of Health and Welfare, focusing on LHS for psychiatry. In recent years, he has divided his time between a postdoctoral position at the Anderson Center for Health System Excellence (Cincinnati, USA) – contributing to the design and evaluation of a new LHS for bipolar disorder – and his current role as head of the ePsychiatry unit at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The unit develops and disseminates LHS-inspired approaches that support patients, clinicians, and managers in achieving more data-driven care and development.

Recommended reading:

• A Learning Health System for people with severe mental illness: a promise for continuous learning, patient coproduction and more effective care – exploring how an LHS can support individuals with complex and chronic conditions through personas and scenarios.
• The role of Coproduction in Learning Health Systems – analyzing how the most advanced LHSs have transformed care creation to enable coproduction, codesign, and coinnovation at multiple levels, and the principles that have guided their progress.
  
  The seminar will be held in English and offered in hybrid format. Welcome to Room GA 442, School of Health and Welfare, Jönköping University (from the main entrance, follow the corridor to the right and take the stairs or elevator to the 4th floor; the room is immediately to the right through the door), or join us via Zoom: https://ju-se.zoom.us/j/65893416691
  
  No registration required.
  
  The seminar is organized by Jönköping Academy for Improvement of Health and Welfare and the Department of Quality Improvement and Leadership at the School of Health and Welfare, Jönköping University.
