The specialist develops protocols, dashboards, and key performance indicators; leads or co-leads the corresponding committee or workgroup; monitors regulatory and accreditation compliance; benchmarks program performance against local and national best practices; and analyzes clinical data to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
