The Program Coordinator (Administrative Associate 3) will provide administrative or operational support with limited supervision for Quality Initiatives and the Serious Illness Care Program for the Department of Medicine.

With a consolidated budget of more than $360 million, fifty percent from clinical activity, and nearly 600 faculty members, the Program Coordinator plays a vital role in quality initiatives across the department. The Serious Illness Care Program (SICP) was developed as a collaborative approach to implement new methods and techniques to address patients facing serious illness or end-of-life decisions.

Stanford DOM has entered into this collaborative program with the Brigham and Womens Hospital (Boston, MA) and is currently piloting these methods and tools within the Oncology and Hematology divisions in the DOM, and within the cancer service line at Stanford Health Care (SHC).

The Program Coordinator is a core member of the implementation team and will be responsible for the following: complete oversight of the SICP training component, maintenance of DOM and SICP reports and dashboards, conduct analytics via the EPIC electronic medical record and SHC Edge Reporting, partner with the clinical leads and project manager to prioritize and respond to program inquiries, maintain reporting compliance with CME, enhance program tools and methodologies, support scheduling of meetings and workshops, process financial transactions in Oracle, and support decisions that improve both costs and quality, among other duties as assigned.

The Program Coordinator will preferably have experience in program implementation and a background in administrative operations. It is essential that they demonstrate excellent working relationships with physician leaders and other clinical and non-clinical staff. He or she often serves as a resource on special projects as required. The position requires excellent communication skills and the successful candidate will ideally have experience in a highly professional setting.
