Supporting Safer Healthcare

This intriguing job ad was posted a few weeks ago by a large health system.  It would seem that this hospital is ahead of the curve when it comes to understanding the need for resources dedicated to the data requirements of the organized medical staff.

Performs related functions for tracking and data analysis of JHH Medical Staff and Affiliate Staff as it relates to compliance with Hospital requirements and Joint Commission standards. Will track staff quality data, initiate requests on a scheduled basis for related information, perform high-level analysis through use of sophisticated database software and other tools, identify problems and perform all necessary follow-up to resolve problems.

 Will independently be responsible for making sure that all appointed staff are in compliance with FPPE and OPPE standards as set forth by The Johns Hopkins Hospital and will work with administrative and clinical staff throughout Hospital to accomplish goals.

Also responsible for other compliance tracking and reporting, including medical staff education requirements; various database functions, (such as creating databases, systems and workflow design and implementation, automation of processes and advanced queries and reports in Microsoft Access and Excel, importing and exporting of data from a variety of sources to produce reports for own workflow as well as management review and analysis).

Will independently schedule, track, and follow-through on a wide variety of priorities, working both independently and with the Manager of Medical Staff Systems. Will function in a highly independent way, and be responsible for resolving a diverse set of complex problems.

If you’re a medical staff professional who enjoys statistics and data, this could be the job for you. 

Hmm, I wonder if Johns Hopkins would consider a remote employee…
