• Optimization and Reporting:
  • Develop and/or monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) across patient access and digital engagement.
  • Recommend ongoing improvements and system enhancements.
  • Guide reporting efforts using Clarity, Caboodle, Reporting Workbench, and other tools.
• Testing and Validation:
  • Guide and support testing efforts (unit, integrated, user acceptance testing, etc.) across both patient access and digital engagement solutions.
• Regulatory and Compliance Guidance:
  • Ensure workflows support accurate data capture for demographics, insurance, referrals, and patient communications to ensure clean claims and compliant outreach practices.
• Project Management:
  • Develop and manage project plans, anticipate and resolve issues, facilitate change management, and present project updates to leadership.
  • Lead teams through successful end-to-end work plan execution.
• Client Communication:
  • Create concise, and client-ready communications with clear storylines and actionable recommendations.
