Role Overview

As a Quality Improvement Advisor, you will act as the main point of contact and coach for hospital partners. The role centers on spotting opportunities to strengthen patient care, safety, and outcomes, then guiding improvement efforts that support healthcare goals.

• Work closely with hospitals to identify improvement needs and help drive measurable gains in patient outcomes.
• Build partnerships with local, state, and national organizations to connect providers and patients with relevant programs and learning opportunities.
• Review quality data at the regional, state, and provider levels, support learning collaboratives, and deliver technical assistance as hospitals adopt evidence-based practices.
• Use your hospital and healthcare system knowledge, quality improvement background, and relationship-building abilities to engage effectively with partners and providers across the care continuum while supporting alignment with state and federal quality priorities.

• An active Enterprise User Administration (EUA) ID is required for routine access to a CMS federally controlled information system. If you do not already have an active EUA ID, you must complete the required training and obtain one. Failure to secure the EUA ID within the required timeframe may lead to termination of employment.
