Inpatient Medical Director (SoCal)

Department: HS - Providers

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: 600 City Parkway West 10th Floor, Orange, CA 92868

Reporting To: Dr. Derek Lanier

Description About the Role

The Inpatient Medical Director provides physician leadership across Astrana Health’s hospital partners, ensuring high‑quality, cost‑effective inpatient care aligned with Astrana’s value‑based and population health strategies. This leader partners closely with hospitalists, specialists, care management, and health plan counterparts to drive clinical excellence, utilization management, and continuity of care across the inpatient–post‑acute continuum.

What You'll Do
  • Serve as physician leader for inpatient clinical operations across assigned hospitals.
  • Drive quality, safety, and patient outcomes aligned with Astrana Health’s value‑based and capitated risk programs.
  • Partner with hospitalists, specialists, nursing leadership, and case management to optimize LOS, avoidable utilization, and transitions of care.
  • Oversee physician performance, clinical compliance, and adherence to evidence‑based protocols and pathways.
  • Collaborate with Population Health, Utilization Management, and Post‑Acute teams to reduce readmissions and total cost of care.
  • Support payer and delegated risk requirements, including clinical documentation, medical necessity, and audits.
  • Act as clinical liaison between Astrana Health, hospital partners, and community physicians.
What Success Looks Like
  • Improved inpatient quality and safety metrics.
  • Reduced LOS, readmissions, and unnecessary utilization.
  • Strong physician engagement and alignment with Astrana Health’s clinical and financial goals.
  • Seamless care transitions across the continuum.
Qualifications
  • Medical Degree (MD or DO) from an accredited institution; active and unrestricted medical license in CA.
  • 5+ years of inpatient clinical experience; prior physician leadership.
  • Experience in value‑based care, risk‑bearing models, or delegated health plan environments.
  • Strong working knowledge of utilization management, quality metrics, and hospital operations.
  • Proven ability to lead, influence, and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Strong understanding of state and federal regulations (e.g., CMS, DMHC, NCQA).
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to engage providers in meaningful, respectful clinical dialogue.
  • Highly collaborative mindset with a commitment to improving healthcare equity, quality, and cost‑effectiveness.
Environmental Job Requirements and Working Conditions
  • While this is a Remote - US Based position, this MD will need to reside SoCal to travel to inpatient, post-acute facilities, physician groups, ASC, and Health Plans.
  • The national target pay range for this role is $250,000 - $325,000. Actual compensation will be determined based on geographic location (current or future), experience, and other job‑related factors.
