Responsibilities The Community Health Care Association of New York State (CHCANYS) is a 501(c)(3) membership association of community health centers serving community, homeless, and migrant populations. CHCANYS is a dynamic, team-oriented non-profit association, and provides support and technical assistance to federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and other safety-net primary care providers across New York State.

The Health Center Network of New York (HCNNY) is a federally funded health center controlled network affiliated with CHCANYS. HCNNY is comprised of nine member health centers throughout upstate New York and CHCANYS. The network’s strategic plan includes incremental, manageable growth in membership and aggressive implementation of additional EHR tools to ensure that members remain at the leading-edge of HIT adoption and use.

We are currently seeing an individual to direct and manage clinical quality improvement initiatives of HCNNY, ensuring regulatory compliance and promoting improved health care outcomes. The Clinical Quality Improvement Coordinator will work closely with HCNNY’s Clinical Committee to establish a vision and direction for the Quality Improvement (QI) Program within the framework of current regulation, market initiatives, existing program work plans and the network’s strategic plan. The use of health information technology (electronic health records, patient portal, data repository, etc.) and resulting data will be a major component of the QI program. The position is half time (.5 FTE) and will report directly to the Executive Director.

Responsibilities will include:
  • Designing, directing and overseeing the implementation of clinical quality improvement programs with the guidance of the Clinical Committee.
  • Supporting member health centers in developing and implementing the necessary teams, tools and care process changes in parallel with individual center efforts to improve patient outcomes and develop innovative approaches to primary care delivery reform.
  • Participating in the critical analysis of individual center and network aggregate results of existing clinical outcome measures, while working closely with HCNNY’s senior staff and informatics resource personnel to develop additional performance measures.
  • Working closely with HCNNY implementation staff to ensure that all clinical setup and workflow development is aligned with QI program requirements, goals and objectives.
  • Participating in on-going development of clinical data repository and dashboard reporting.
  • Participating in monthly Clinical Committee meetings and perform requested follow-up duties.
Qualifications Required To qualify, you must be a Clinical Professional (registered nurse or health care provider) with at least two year’s experience working in an ambulatory health center setting, along with 5+ year’s senior level experience directing and managing large projects. Experience in program design, implementation and evaluation plus extensive knowledge and experience with industry-leading quality improvement methods and tools will also be expected. Demonstrated ability to work with customer/client groups and/or experience in membership organizations and the ability to travel across NY State is essential. PC proficiency in MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access) and Outlook is a must.
