[Hiring] IKC Special Projects Director @DaVita Kidney Care

Role Description

The Project Director serves as the primary coordinator between the different workstreams required to launch the IKC Fee-For-Service model. This individual’s work will include coordinating meetings and tracking next steps, executing projects as needed (such as finding a medical scribe company), and supporting model iteration.

Key Responsibilities & Core Accountabilities

• Manage the execution of the IKC FFS project plan:
  • Set the agenda for the 8 committee meetings, track next steps, and follow-up with individual leaders to ensure next steps are completed on time.
  • Flag risks to project timeline to VP of Operations and develop risk mitigation plans.
  • Actively identify opportunities to improve project implementation timeline or efficacy. When opportunities arise, work with the VP of Operations to incorporate them into the broader project plan.
• Ambulatory Encounter Workflow Design:
  • In collaboration with the Operations Director and Medical Director, develop daily clinical workflows that balance high-touch patient care and key IKC clinical goals with protected administrative time.
• Driving completion on key project deliverables:
  • The project will encompass several workstreams – some of which are suited for a broader committee and others that will need to be owned by the Project Director. Some example workstreams are:
    • Developing a system to build patient charts without burdening the care team, and if needed, collaborate with a 3rd-party medical scribe vendor to establish pre-encounter chart preparation.
    • Standing up short-term clinical support infrastructure (such as 24/7 triage for out-of-range lab results).
    • In collaboration with clinical and IKC analytics, develop a scorecard that measures clinical and operational impact, that informs clinical and operational action plans, and that can be automated.
  • Be willing to assume ownership for new workstreams as needs arise.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of project management experience within a complex, matrixed organization, and under tight timelines.
• Ability to drive a strategic vision, and then execute on tactical plans that support that vision.
• Experience developing systems and processes that support clinical providers and staff.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits:
  • Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off, PTO cash out.
• Support for you and your family:
  • Family resources, EAP counseling sessions, access to Headspace®, backup child and elder care, maternity/paternity leave and more.
• Professional development programs:
  • DaVita offers a variety of programs to help strong performers grow within their career and also offers on-demand virtual leadership and development courses through DaVita’s online training platform StarLearning.
