Position Overview

We are looking for a passionate and mission-driven Lead Physician for Primary Care in Cincinnati. This role is pivotal in implementing team-based collaborative care and enhancing population health for our medically complex and socially vulnerable members.

Our organization is dedicated to serving individuals with significant medical complexities and social challenges. We prioritize moving care away from emergency rooms and into a comprehensive, person-centered setting that emphasizes dignity, accessibility, and holistic support.

Key Responsibilities

The Lead Physician will focus on four primary areas:

• Deliver exceptional primary care to a select group of members, leading an interdisciplinary care team.
• Guide fellow providers in delivering outstanding primary, urgent, and community care, while mentoring care teams during population health meetings to meet quality and utilization objectives.
• Serve as the clinical leader alongside the Medical Director, addressing inquiries and providing clinical guidance to nurses, medical assistants, and other providers regarding clinical cases as they arise.
• Be an integral part of the leadership team, responsible for steering the market towards achieving quality, utilization, and engagement targets. Participate in leadership meetings and represent the organization to community organizations, hospital systems, and payer partners.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Deliver high-quality primary care, managing chronic conditions, acute exacerbations, and follow-up needs post-hospitalization or emergency care.
• Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team (including behavioral health, nursing, social work, pharmacy, nutrition, and care management) to create and modify patient care plans.
• Coach and mentor physicians and Advanced Practice Providers on best practices in value-based and evidence-based care.
• Evaluate when patients can be treated safely within our organization and when higher-level care is necessary.
• Accept same-day, next-day, and urgent appointments for members requiring immediate physician or care management intervention to prevent admissions or readmissions.
• Monitor patient health trends and take proactive measures to minimize emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and readmissions.
• Practice evidence-based medicine in line with Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) principles, ensuring quality, prevention, and continuity of care.
• Develop and oversee transitional care plans, tracking patients throughout the entire continuum of care.
• Achieve and maintain quality metric goals, utilizing data and electronic health record tools to enhance performance and efficiency.
• Provide on-call coverage on a rotating basis.
• Allocate approximately 70-80% of time to direct clinical care.
• Perform additional duties related to chronic care and disease management as required.

Qualifications

• Possession of an active, unrestricted medical license in the state of employment.
• Clinical and administrative experience in leading interdisciplinary teams.
• Experience in a clinic, community-based organization, or inpatient unit.
• Background in training and mentoring others.
• Strong problem-solving, project management, and organizational skills.
• Self-motivated and critical thinker with an interest in population health, healthcare utilization management, and the continuous improvement of our care model.
