Job Description:
Job Description We’re unique. You should be, too. We’re changing
lives every day. For both our patients and our team members. Are
you innovative and entrepreneurial minded? Is your work ethic and
ambition off the charts? Do you inspire others with your kindness
and joy? We’re different than most primary care providers. We’re
rapidly expanding and we need great people to join our team.
ChenMed, a physician-led and mission-driven, primary care
organization, is currently one of the most successful full-risk
Medicare Advantage providers in the nation and has a vision to be
America’s leading primary care provider, transforming care of the
neediest population. Our mission is to honor seniors with
affordable VIP care that delivers better health. In order to
achieve our vision and deliver our mission, we need the best
primary care providers that are seeking to fulfill purpose and
personal opportunity and join the ChenMed family. The Primary Care
Physician (PCP) in our organization demonstrates: •\tAccountability
for outcomes: The PCP demonstrates accountability for outcomes,
strong clinical care, and cost-effectiveness for each patient in
their panel of up to 450 patients. They understand that they can
strongly influence the patient’s outcomes by building a trusting
relationship and helping them change behaviors. •\tCoaching for
health: The PCP acts as a health coach, rather than just a
consultant for sickness, by helping patients set short and
long-term health goals, partners with the patient to work toward
the goals, and frequently follows up on those goals on the path to
improved health for their patients. •\tSimplifying for action: The
PCP simplifies and prioritizes appropriately so that behavior
change is more actionable, both for the patient in helping them
achieve their goals, and when leading their care teams towards
their performance goals. We are an outcomes-focused, value-based
organization and for their panel of patients, the following metrics
are regularly measured to help PCP’s become successful and reach
partnership status: patient admissions/thousand, using between
18-21 appointment slots per day (each new patient count for 2
slots, follow-up patients 1 slot), CGCAHPS (patient experience),
clinical gaps closures, and medical cost measures. Each PCP will
have goals for these metrics and will be expected to work towards
those targets with their center and market leadership as well as
their care teams. Culture is very important in the medical centers
and because PCP’s are leaders in our organization and centers, they
are expected to help champion a positive culture of love,
accountability, and passion along with center leadership. The PCP
will be required to demonstrate the ability to function both
independently and in collaboration with other health care
professionals. The PCP will work closely with the applicable
managers and medical directors to ensure compliance with guidelines
along with participating in risk and quality management programs,
