Job Description:

Job Description Job Description We stand out. You should, too. Every day, we make a difference in the lives of our patients and team members. Are you driven by innovation and entrepreneurship? Is your ambition and work ethic exceptional? Do you uplift others with your positivity and compassion? We are not like typical primary care providers. As we experience rapid growth, we are looking for talented individuals to join our team. Position Overview The Associate Clinical Director will oversee and mentor primary care providers (PCPs) at their designated center. This role is responsible for enhancing the execution of our core model, which includes improving clinical quality, efficiency, outcomes, and satisfaction for both clinicians and patients. Alongside overseeing clinical outcomes at their center, the individual will also dedicate part of their time to direct patient care as a PCP and/or other clinical responsibilities, depending on the number of direct reports. The remaining time will focus on leadership duties, such as managing PCP performance, fostering engagement, and cultivating a strong synergy between clinical operations and culture. The distribution of time will vary based on factors like PCP capacity, market demands, center size, patient membership, and guidance from the Market Clinical Director. Key Responsibilities Provide independent care for patients with both acute and chronic conditions, particularly in older adults. Take full responsibility for patient care and outcomes, seeking specialist consultations when necessary while remaining involved in the patient's detailed care. Collaborate with hospitalists for any of their patients admitted to the hospital, regardless of the hospitalist's affiliation. Conduct assessments, diagnoses, treatments, management, education, health promotion, care coordination, and documentation for patients with acute and complex chronic health issues. Lead a care team that includes a care promoter (medical assistant), care facilitator, and care coordinator for patients who can visit the office. For patients unable to attend the office—whether in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, long-term care, or homebound—coordinate with the transitional care team and other available resources, including case managers and acute care physicians. Facilitate the Super Huddle (SH) and Transforming Care Meeting (TCM) weekly, and support the Center Manager or General Manager in clinical leadership roles when necessary, following guidance from the Market Chief Medical Officer. Step in as needed for clinical leadership responsibilities, including monitoring daily center census as part of joint accountability for outcomes. Actively participate in the management of the center and provide coverage for other providers as needed. Each Clinical Director is also expected to assist in patient recruitment for the center and in interviewing potential new providers. Mentor and coach PCPs in their assigned center to achieve exceptional clinical outcomes, including participating in daily huddles with other PCPs. Conduct leadership rounds with PCPs, reducing the involvement of the market clinical leader. Collaborate with the Center Operations Director and Market General Manager to enhance the financial performance of the center and increase membership. Perform additional duties as assigned and modified at the discretion of management.
