Chief Medical Officer

As our Chief Medical Officer, you will help develop engagement strategies for independent community physicians, hospital-based physicians, and other physician groups in the market. The goal is to build cohesion around a common clinical vision, aligned strategic and economic incentives, and advancing quality improvement and patient safety initiatives. You will also guide and facilitate the integration of physicians within the Service Area into the strategic direction of Dignity Health, ensuring alignment with Dignity Health's mission in the communities served, optimizing market position, and identifying and pursuing opportunities for further growth. You will engage physicians in the expansion of established hospital-centric clinical service lines into clinical service lines that span the Service Area and have a population health management orientation.

Every day you will form a Physicians Strategy Council that brings physician leaders from the Service Area together to discuss issues impacting physician practices and barriers to greater alignment of physician and hospital goals and objectives. You will support a multidisciplinary, outcome-driven, and accountable approach to providing a consistent patient experience with predictable outcomes. Furthermore, you will develop a clinical vision aligned with the Service Area's operating model to transform the way care is delivered throughout the market. You will work with hospital-based physicians, including hospitalists, critical care, and emergency medicine physicians, to ensure patient transfers are handled swiftly, efficiently, and in full compliance with required regulations (such as EMTALA), and that exceptional clinical and safety outcomes are achieved.

To be successful in this role, you must:

• Possess strong leadership and communication skills to effectively engage and align diverse physician groups.
• A proven track record in developing and implementing successful clinical strategies.
• A deep understanding of population health management.
• Ability to foster collaboration, drive quality improvement, and navigate complex healthcare regulations will be critical in achieving the mission of CommonSpirit Health.
