QUALITY IMPROVEMENT SPECIALIST

The James M. Anderson Center for Health Systems Excellence was established in 2010 to dramatically expand Cincinnati Children’s work in transformational improvement. Cincinnati Children’s has long been committed to providing the best outcomes, the safest care for the children and families we serve and applying all that we learn through research to our own frontline work.  Ultimately our success is defined by nothing less than being a catalyst for transformation on a global scale. 

In support of our institution’s compelling vision “to be the leader in improving child health,” we have created a comprehensive and robust quality improvement infrastructure.  This infrastructure has been central to the widespread measurable improvements being achieved across our continuum of care.  We also support external collaboratives, learning networks and improvement work in our community and at the regional and national levels in order to expand the impact on improving children’s health more broadly.

We invite you to consider joining our team of talented quality improvement professionals!  In these key roles, you will serve as facilitator and coach to a variety of multi-disciplinary improvement teams and you will work collaboratively to build improvement capability across the institution to achieve transformational and sustainable changes in patient outcomes. 

Specific responsibilities will require in depth application of improvement science methodologies/tools, strategic planning, project management, team facilitation/education, consulting skills, change management and data measurement/analysis. 

This is a highly visible role that requires an individual to be independent yet collaborative with other healthcare professionals and leaders at Cincinnati Children’s and in community and hospital settings regionally and nationally.   The successful candidate will be an experienced quality improvement professional who has demonstrated leadership skills and can deal with ambiguity, can be flexible as needed and has a sense of urgency with regards to bringing about change.
