and out of the hospital. Our Medical Directors understand these
ends and the means to achieve them, and they recognize these skills
don t come naturally to many clinicians; our Medical Director share
their wisdom with others and help other clinicians understand the
value in value-based care. They help physicians master the
data-driven tools and practices required to keep patients well and
out of the hospital. They engage all level of providers to the
benefit of our teams and our patients. Tactically this includes
delivering monthly quality dashboards to teams, coaching on tools
to improve quality outcomes, and ensuring physicians are engaged
and responsible for the quality of care they deliver.
- Support Organizational Strategy: We expect our Medical
Directors to support our goal of continuous improvement. This is
leadership close to the bedside, and it gives our medical directors
a chance to be ears-on-the-ground as well as eyes-in-the-sky,
