Job Description
What will you be doing:
The Clinical Value Coordinator (Physician Assistant) is responsible for supporting collaborative efforts focused on improving the value of health care in an assigned department(s). The CVPL works with the Clinical Efficiency & Value team, the home department, and other stakeholders to find opportunities to enhance clinical efficiency and appropriateness of care. As part of a multi-disciplinary team, develops and implements interventions to achieve these improvements. The focus of these programs includes innovations to streamline inpatient care, safely reduce length of stay and cost of care, enhance transitions of care to the most appropriate post-acute setting, and reduce readmissions. Once these value-based programs are implemented, the CVPL assumes clinical operational responsibility for the program to ensure sustained focus within the department. Strategizes to implement program refinements and/or initiate new programs based upon outcomes or new payer requirements to ensure a sustainable model for coordinated value improvements. The goal is to meet the needs of third-party payers, to enhance Cedars-Sinai's competitiveness to secure payer contracts, and to achieve internal clinical efficiencies to enhance operational performance — all while maintaining or improving the overall quality of care delivered.

Provides education and assessment to support patient compliance with care guidelines. May manage post-discharge clinic workflow and facilitate care in the outpatient clinic.
Develops collaborative relationships with members of the Medical Staff to gain support for value-based programs, encourage patient participation in value-based programs, ensure appropriate sharing of information, and enhance partnership to optimize patient outcomes.

Works with departmental clinical leaders, operational leaders, and champions to ensure that all clinical efficiency and value-based work is aligned with evidence based standard methodologies and operational workflows and expectations.
Implements plans to track outcomes for patients in value-based programs, including utilization, cost, efficiency, and appropriateness metrics, as well as clinical outcomes. Tracks outcomes and takes actions and/or makes recommendations based on information.
