Job description

Quality Intern

As a Quality Intern at Essen Healthcare, you will support efforts to improve patient care and health outcomes through data-driven initiatives aligned with HEDIS measures. This role involves clinical data abstraction, patient engagement, and participation in community-based health initiatives—all contributing to Essen's value-based care and quality improvement goals.

Responsibilities
  • Chart Review & Data Abstraction
    • Review electronic medical records to identify and close care gaps for HEDIS measures such as diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol management, and preventive screenings.
    • Conduct diagnosis review and verify completeness of documented conditions.
    • Abstract critical data points including demographics, procedure and diagnosis codes, and service dates in alignment with HEDIS guidelines.
    • Participate in team overviews and reviews of abstraction findings.
  • Patient Outreach & Education
    • Conduct outreach calls to patients with uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension, or those with pending lab orders, to encourage timely follow-up and adherence to care plans.
    • Educate patients on the importance of chronic condition management and help schedule follow-up PCP appointments or lab visits as needed.
    • Perform SDOH (Social Determinants of Health) screenings by calling patients to assess needs related to access to care, food insecurity, housing, and transportation.
  • Community Engagement & Events
    • Participate in a full calendar of patient engagement events, including Saturday health fairs and plan-sponsored community events (typically 10 AM – 2 PM).
    • Assist with at-home services such as eye exams and blood pressure checks for patients, initially shadowing a team member and eventually conducting visits independently if comfortable.
  • Medication Adherence (Part D Support)
    • Support medication adherence efforts by contacting patients, coordinating refills, confirming availability with pharmacies, and resolving pickup barriers.
    • Help improve STAR ratings by ensuring adherence to prescriptions for chronic conditions.
Qualifications

Your work will directly support Essen Healthcare's mission to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. You will help close care gaps, improve chronic condition management, and elevate overall performance across HEDIS and STAR measures—while gaining hands-on experience in clinical quality, patient engagement, and public health initiatives.
