One organization. Countless opportunities.

Johns Hopkins Medicine, a nonprofit, combines over 125 years of commitment to community care with groundbreaking research, teaching and medical services to patients worldwide. Johns Hopkins Medicine operates six academic and community hospitals, four health care and surgery centers, more than six ambulatory surgery centers and has more than 2.8 million outpatient encounters per year.

What You Will Do:

Quality Improvement Team Leaders (QITLs) are trained experts in high-reliability, quality improvement methodology and interdisciplinary activities to reduce preventable harm, continuously improve patient outcomes, and eliminate waste in health care. QITLs identify risks and improvement opportunities in the quality of care delivered at the functional unit, department and hospital level. QITLs drive performance across a number of metrics that support the hospital's publically reported rankings that impact reputation and performance-based reimbursement. QITLs oversee, foster, and support the effectiveness of quality improvement teams. QITLs partner with department and hospital leaders including Chief Quality Officers, Vice Chairs for Quality and Safety, Physician Advisors, Directors of Nursing, and Chief Administrative Officers in addition to patient safety, risk management, regulatory, patient experience and care coordination teams to improve outcomes. Together they identify, plan, execute and monitor activities related to the hospital's strategic objectives, improvement priorities, regulatory and accreditation requirements, root cause analyses, quality of care concerns, etc.
