Responsibilities

As an Administrative Fellow, you will have the opportunity to be involved in various areas within Community Health System. Your strategic development of work plans and business opportunities will help shape many initiatives system wide. You will collaborate with teams in operations, finance, strategy, managed care, ambulatory care, policy, planning and marketing. You will also work closely with executive leadership across the Community Health System and may attend administrative, medical, board, and hospital meetings as an occasional participant, with the potential to serve as a member.

The first month of the fellowship begins with 1:1 meetings with executives from across the Community Health System. You will foster relationships with executives, explore areas of interest and gain an appreciation for the various roles each department or area plays in achieving Community Health System’s business goals and strategy. Additionally, you will shadow your preceptor and have ongoing weekly meetings to debrief your experiences, ask questions and discuss projects.

The next five months are spent rotating across the system. You will round through approximately 82 areas for anywhere from four hours to three days. Additionally, after rounding across a functional area (nursing, operations, outpatient, ancillary, etc.) you will shadow an executive leader for a full day to debrief.

During this timeframe, short-term projects may be identified by the fellows, executives, rounding supervisors and/or preceptors. These short-term projects enable you to meaningfully support a department and contribute value to the organization.

The last six months are open to you to take on a larger, long-term project and/or take on an interim role within the organization.

Examples of fellowship rotations include:

• Operations
• Finance
• Human Resource
• Clinical and Patient Care Units
• Ancillary Services
• Ambulatory Care
• Population Health Management
• Strategy and Business Development
• Physician Relations

Building a Culture of Quality

An acute care hospital has identified several priority quality outcomes it wants to improve over the next three years, including hospital-acquired infections, preventable harm events, readmissions, and patient experience. Leaders recognize that lasting improvement will require more than individual projects; it will require a stronger culture of quality and accountability across the organization.

How would you think about supporting this journey as an administrative fellow? What role should hospital leaders play in creating sustained improvement?
