• Provide a strong, reflective clinical perspective to ensure that digital health initiatives remain grounded in the realities of front-line practice and provider experience.
• Act as a skilled negotiator to gain alignment and decisions among diverse program stakeholders.
• Support the development of technical guidance, evaluation metrics, and implementation tools to enhance quality, equity, and performance.
• Promote a culture of continuous quality improvement, person-centered care, and clinical innovation.
• Provide strategic clinical guidance to ensure clinical priorities are aligned with product rollouts. This will include working with a variety of OH teams including the digital, clinical support, change management, communications, and user experience teams, using a respectful and collaborative approach to inform the design of workflows and support effective implementation.
• Advise on the accessibility and appropriateness of digital tools for different communities, and help identify where efforts should be targeted to ensure equitable reach and adoption, including establishing clinical targets and priorities.
