Director of Ambulatory Operations

Director Of Ambulatory Operations

Location: Coldwater, MI

Lead the transformation of rural outpatient care at Insight Hospital & Medical Center. We are redesigning how outpatient care is delivered—improving access, eliminating inefficiencies, and creating a truly patient-centered experience. We are seeking a proven operator who has successfully transformed outpatient clinics—not just managed them. If you've walked into a struggling clinic and turned it into a high-performing, patient-focused operation… this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Own operational performance across our outpatient clinics and lead measurable transformation in:
• Clinic Performance & Throughput
• Operational Transformation
• Staffing & Workforce Optimization
• Business Analytics & Performance Intelligence
• Financial & Revenue Cycle Accountability
• Physician & Staff Engagement
• Growth & Expansion

What Success Looks Like (First 12–18 Months)

• Measurable improvement in patient access and clinic throughput
• Increased provider productivity
• Improved patient satisfaction and experience metrics
• Standardized workflows across clinics with reduced variation
• Clinic staffing aligned to industry benchmarks
• Recurring performance reporting cadence established
• Strong physician engagement driven by partnership—not passive compliance

Who You Are

• You're not a "policy enforcer." You're an operator.
• Required:
• 5+ years leading outpatient clinic operations
• Demonstrated success improving clinic performance (throughput, access, financials, or patient experience)
• Experience working directly with physicians to drive operational change
• Strong understanding of ambulatory workflows, scheduling, staffing, and revenue cycle
• Experience with healthcare benchmarking data (MGMA, AMGA, or equivalent)
• Comfort with operational and financial data analysis
• Experience managing clinic-level P&L or financial performance
• Preferred:
• Experience in multi-site, multi-specialty clinic management
• Track record of clinic turnaround or transformation work
• Lean / Six Sigma / process improvement experience (formal or practical)
• Experience with EMR-based reporting and workflow optimization
• Familiarity with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar)

What Sets You Apart

• You walk into chaos and see a system
• You're comfortable challenging "how we've always done it"
• You use data - but don't hide behind it
• You can influence physicians without alienating them
• You deliver results, not reports

Why This Role Matters

This isn't a maintenance role. This is a chance to reshape outpatient care in a rural market, expand access, and directly impact how patients experience care in our community. If you want a role where you can actually fix things—not just talk about them—this is it.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required (Master's preferred but not required if experience is strong)
• Demonstrated operational leadership in healthcare required
