VP- Quality and Clinical Effectiveness
About The Position
This position develops and drives strategic plans for quality, clinical effectiveness, and safety initiatives in partnership with UC Health’s Chief Clinical Officer and other system leaders. Working closely with the Chief Clinical Officer, the role is accountable for enterprise-wide quality strategy, analytics, prioritization, standards, and assurance. Expected operating model includes the execution of quality and safety improvement within existing clinical and operational leadership structures (COO, CNO, executive committees, service lines, ambulatory operations). The Vice President serves as the enterprise integrator, focusing efforts on the highest‑risk and highest‑impact opportunities, monitoring effectiveness, and escalating barriers when outcomes are not achieved. The leader must understand clinical practice across an academic environment that includes students, residents, and research, and effectively engage department chairs and faculty in systemwide transformation. Strong analytical expertise is essential, including clinical data analytics, risk adjustment, and translating data into meaningful clinical improvement. Experience with evidence‑based medicine and clinical pathway development is critical. The role must also communicate the economics of quality and clinical effectiveness—particularly their impact on value‑based performance and academic missions—and align physicians, nurses, administrators, and board members around that vision.
