Job Summary and Responsibilities

CommonSpirit Health seeks a dynamic California Regional Chief Medical Officer (CMO) to architect and execute clinical strategy, drive transformative clinical care, champion physician engagement, and partner across disciplines to achieve operational efficiency aligned with our mission.

The CMO will be the principal driver for clinical performance, implementing evidence-based medicine, and spearheading patient safety and quality improvement initiatives. This includes oversight of physician credentialing, privileging, and performance to elevate patient outcomes. Crucially, the CMO will meticulously design, implement, and oversee quality improvement efforts, ensuring unwavering compliance with TJC, CMS, and the California Department of Public Health. This involves leading strategic quality initiatives for patient access/satisfaction, provider engagement, clinical outcomes, and comprehensive process transformation. The CMO will intrinsically serve as a vital bridge, fostering robust relationships among physicians, administration, and community stakeholders.

A paramount responsibility is to cultivate deep engagement with all clinical groups proactively, and, most specifically, to partner with the regional chief nursing officer to forge a shared vision for safety, quality, patient experience, and utilization management. The CMO will strategically integrate physicians and APPs into CommonSpirit Health's core direction, optimizing market position, and pursuing growth opportunities, especially in population health-oriented service lines. To achieve this, the CMO will lead high-impact safety and quality collaboratives, catalyzing multidisciplinary work groups, and be accountable for a consistently exceptional patient experience. The CMO will articulate and realize a compelling clinical vision, harmonizing it with the operating model to revolutionize care delivery, ensuring seamless, compliant patient transfers, and driving exceptional, safe clinical outcomes.

This executive demands profound expertise in healthcare management, strategic business planning, process improvement, budget administration, and personnel management. The ideal candidate will possess an incisive understanding of the symbiotic relationship between clinical outcomes, cost containment, patient safety/satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. This insight will empower the CMO to craft and implement strategic recommendations that dramatically enhance healthcare delivery, organizational effectiveness, and operational efficiency. Ultimately, the CMO is the critical nexus, integrating medical staff, management, and employees into a unified, collaborative force dedicated to achieving unparalleled clinical excellence across the entire region.
