Quality Improvement Advisor

About the role

As a Quality Improvement Advisor, you will act as the main point of contact and guide for hospitals. The role centers on spotting opportunities to strengthen patient care, safety, and outcomes, supporting improvement efforts, and helping healthcare partners reach their quality goals.

Location and eligibility

This is a remote position, but candidates must live in Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, or Wyoming to be considered. Internal candidates based in other states may also be reviewed.

Key responsibilities

• Work alongside hospitals to identify improvement opportunities and support measurable gains in patient outcomes.
• Build partnerships with local, state, and national organizations to connect providers and patients with relevant programs and learning resources.
• Review quality data at regional, state, and provider levels, help lead learning collaboratives, and provide technical support as hospitals adopt evidence-based practices.
• Use your understanding of hospitals and healthcare systems, quality improvement methods, and relationship-building skills to engage effectively with partners and providers across the care continuum while supporting both state and federal quality priorities.

Required experience and qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in public administration, public policy, public health, or a related discipline is required, or an equivalent combination of education and experience such as 10 years of healthcare experience or an associate’s degree with 5 or more years of experience.
• Hands-on experience in healthcare quality improvement is required.
• Strong working knowledge of quality improvement principles and methods used in hospital environments is essential.
• You should have excellent communication and interpersonal abilities and be comfortable building trusted relationships with C-suite leaders, clinicians, administrators, and other health professionals.
• Familiarity with hospital-related state and federal rules and standards, including CMS quality measures, value-based payment models, and accreditation requirements, is needed.
• You must be able to coach improvement efforts and facilitate technical assistance for providers and partners within your area of expertise or in setting-specific contexts.
• An active Enterprise User Administration (EUA) ID is required. Because this role involves routine access to a CMS federally controlled information system, you will need to create an Identity and Credentialing Tool (ICT) account and obtain a EUA ID. If you do not already have an active EUA ID, you must complete the required training and secure it; otherwise, employment may be ended.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience working in a hospital setting.
• A master’s degree in public health, quality improvement science, health informatics, or a related area.
• Current RN, LPN, MSW, or CPHQ licensure/certification.
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and administrators.
• Demonstrated ability to manage timelines, meet deadlines, and produce detailed written reports.
• Skill in turning complex data into practical insights and clear narratives for both clinical and non-clinical audiences.
