Neighborhood Health

Full-time

Medical, Dental

Posted 10 days ago


Job description

Neighborhood Health is a nonprofit federally qualified health center with 12 locations in Nashville, Lebanon, and Gallatin. We have proudly served the people of Middle Tennessee for almost 50 years without regard to their insurance status or ability to pay. Today, we provide medical, prenatal, dental, and behavioral health care to over 30,000 people of all ages, more than half of whom have no health insurance. Neighborhood Health may be the most interesting medical practice in the region: We have two clinics focused on public housing communities, two clinics focused on immigrants and refugees, two clinics focused on those experiencing homelessness, and two clinics in rural areas. Because of the trust we have earned with patients, Neighborhood Health has become the largest safety net provider of primary care in Middle Tennessee – and the largest both for African Americans and for Hispanic residents. Neighborhood Health holds accreditation from The Joint Commission and was one of the first multi-site group practices in Tennessee to achieve NCQA recognition as a Patient-Centered Medical Home.
Our Mission: Neighborhood Health is dedicated to improving the health of our community by eliminating barriers to care and serving as a healthcare home without regard to the ability to pay.
Position Description
The Director of Policy, Compliance, and Innovation works closely with members of the Executive Team to design and implement new workflows and business processes to achieve highly specific business goals. The Director provides a true systems perspective to ensure each employee or partner involved a workflow can complete their specific tasks as efficiently and effectively as possible. The Director also has primary responsibility to design and track key management reports to identify potential obstacles or points of failure and resolve issues there as they arise. Using a rapid-cycle, iterative Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) approach, the Director assesses and helps implement potential improvements.
The Director performs this work by quickly becoming steeped in technical requirements of key partners as these evolve. The Director develops a thorough understanding of The Joint Commission accreditation requirements, the NCQA recognition standards for Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition, and the HRSA requirements for federally qualified health centers (including those related to the FTCA malpractice program). The Director also develops expertise in the requirements of contract agreements with key partners, including but not limited to TennCare managed care organizations (MCOs) and Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). Given the importance of these programs to the Directors work, the Director has primary responsibility for liaising with these partners and ensuring Neighborhood Health’s documented adherence to their respective requirements. The Director also has primary responsibility for overseeing Neighborhood Health’s Risk Management and Patient Safety Plan and shared responsibility for the implementation and monitoring or our Quality Improvement-Quality Assurance Plan.
