- Contribute to system and regional performance measurement and management, emphasizing data-driven improvement and planning.
- Coordinate routine and ad-hoc meetings with health system partners and key stakeholders, including clinical leads.
- Manage projects by engaging stakeholders, maintaining documentation and work plans, driving agendas, and contributing collaboratively to project deliverables.
