  • Track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to population health, such as screening completion rates and access to preventive care. Monitor performance against benchmarks and adjust strategies to optimize results.
  • Oversee outreach and care gap closure workflows to minimize workflow inefficiencies, ensure timely outreach, enhance patient care experience, improve patient engagement, and achieve optimal outreach outcomes.
  • Ensure population health activities comply with FQHC guidelines and align with federal and state regulations. Promote best practices in population health management and care coordination.
  • Performs other job duties as required by manager/supervisor.

  • Bachelor's degree in Public Health, Health Administration, Nursing, or a related field (Master's preferred)
  • 3-5 years of experience in population health, public health, or care coordination, preferably within an FQHC or community health setting
  • Experience with data analysis and reporting; proficiency in population health management software and electronic health records (EHR) systems
  • Strong leadership skills with experience managing teams and working collaboratively across departments
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills with an ability to convey complex information to various stakeholders
  • Demonstrated ability to prioritize, organize, and manage multiple projects effectively in a fast-paced environment
  • Knowledge of federal and state health care regulations, FQHC guidelines, and population health best practices is a plus
