Practice Improvement Coordinator

**JOB SUMMARY**

You love health care clinic operations and making systems better. You love helping people problem-solve and create efficiencies in their workflow along with processes. You are a research and technology nut as you love to dig to find solutions that a clinic operation would need to run smoothly.

You find improvement opportunities when needed and you are confident to ask for help if you don’t know. You have knowledge of how a clinic is run and understand that not all challenges have a “fix all” solution but will work with our members and staff to support their needs in the practice supports realm.

You are comfortable working in a small team that provides exceptional customer service to our physician and provider members. You are comfortable with change and embrace the continuous improvement benefits change brings.
