Job description

We're searching for a Chief Medical Officer, someone who works well in a fast-paced setting. In this position you will report to the CEO and will be the de facto clinical leader for the entire company, across primary, specialty, behavioral and lifestyle health. All clinicians will report through you.

Think you've got what it takes?

Job Duties & Responsibilities

Integration of 3 acquired primary care clinics and a metabolic clinic that are in various stages of integration over the last year. Furthermore, we have organically grown our virtual clinic (with primary care, medical weight loss experts, therapists and psychiatrists). Collectively these make up the majority of providers. As Chief Medical Officer, you will be the leading clinician, accountable for clinical performance in these clinics :

  • Leading our clinical team (hiring, firing, performance management...)
  • Aligning with other clinical leaders to define clinical standards and clinic quality program
  • Ensuring standards are well understood and being applied universally
  • Aligning provider incentives and developing a winning culture
  • Identifying and removing barriers to performance
  • Partnering with finance and operations teams to optimize coding performance

Clinical leadership of Assisted living Senior Care deploys integrated care team 'pods' into assisted living facilities that include an onsite care team (typically an NP / PA + RN / LVN) supported by a virtual team of care specialists, therapists, care coordinators and health concierges. Assisted Living patients are among the most complex, averaging 3x as many ED visits and 6x as many IP admissions as a community dwelling Medicare beneficiary. Furthermore, these patients are administratively very complex to serve - no cars, no cell phones, high levels of dementia and many with powers of attorney. To deliver high quality, comprehensive care the care teams need a significant amount of support - clinically and emotionally. As Chief Medical Officer, you will be responsible for ensuring we support and equip these care teams as best we can. This may include :

  • Refining and overseeing our team-based clinical care delivery model
  • Leading the innovation of care delivery including :
  • The use of hybrid onsite and virtual care
  • The use of new care coordination models including RPM, CCM and APCM
  • Integration of care with hospice, home health, specialists and hospitals
  • Onsite visits to role-model care delivery for complex patients
  • With support from 3rd party experts, developing a world-class clinical onboarding and on-going training programs to equip onsite providers
  • Partnering with leadership to lower administrative burden on providers
  • Fostering a culture of collective collaboration among providers and care teams
  • Partnering with leadership on evolving our risk revenue strategy with Medicare / MA plans
  • We believe that actively providing care (especially in assisted living facilities) is the best way to understand the quickly evolving needs of the most important growth channel. There is an expectation that you will provide care (whether in a clinic or ALF) for 2-3 days a week, with the remainder being used for administrative time.

    You will be a member of the Senior Leadership Team responsible for designing, approving and executing the strategy of the company. Furthermore, you will have shared accountability for the company P&L along with company President / Chief Operating Officer. As our company grows and matures, we do see the nature of the CMO role evolving naturally, likely with a greater emphasis on administration and management.
