Track and communicate key performance indicators across clinic operations, including patient volumes, revenue per visit, staffing ratios, payer mix, and operating margins. Build out the data analytics and reporting function, establishing standardized metric definitions and automated recurring reports that give clinic and finance teams a single source of truth.
- Operational & Revenue Cycle Support Facilitate regular financial reviews with clinic, operations, and clinical leadership, serving as a strategic thought partner to drive performance improvement. Partner with accounting, revenue cycle management, and operational teams to ensure financial data accuracy, resolve discrepancies, and support payer mix reviews and reimbursement trend monitoring. Continuously improve forecasting methodologies and financial processes to enhance accuracy, transparency, and usability; drive initiatives to advance process automation and financial systems integration.
- Strategic Projects Lead financial diligence and scenario planning for business cases related to new clinic openings, payer contract negotiations, and market expansion opportunities. Model and measure the ROI of strategic initiatives, including technology investments and operational improvement efforts. Conduct ad-hoc analyses for senior leadership to evaluate opportunities, risks, and cost-saving initiatives.
