The
Organization
Our client is
an academic medical center comprised of four hospitals, a school of
medicine, a physician practice group and a research park. Last
year, revenues for the medical center exceeded $1BB, and future plans
indicate it will continue to grow and expand market share. The
medical center is in the top one-third of NIH grant recipients and has
earned numerous accolades and awards, including ranking among U.S News
and World Report’s “Best Graduate Schools” and “Best Hospitals” and
receiving the #1 Consumer Choice Award. The flagship hospital has
earned Magnet© status and nearly 25% of its physicians were listed in
“Best Doctors in America.”
The Opportunity
As part of recent advancements
and those planned for the future, the medical center now seeks a Director
of Physician Compliance to assist in the re-development of this enhanced
physician support system. Reporting to the Chief Audit and
Compliance Officer, the Director will play a key role in determining
optimum systems in compliance auditing and education, including
developing the annual risk assessment. The Director will lead a
staff of five to 10 and manage the department budget. Additionally, the
Director will provide expertise in the selection of appropriate software
and creation of superior department operating structures.
