About the Role

The Manager of Clinical & Quality Operations is a blended clinical leadership role for a master's-prepared clinician who thrives at the intersection of direct care, supervision, and quality systems. You'll see clients while also supporting quality, peer and case management supervision, and operations across multiple service lines.

This role reports to the Chief Clinical Officer (CCO) and works alongside the Treatment Director and the Senior Manager, Clinical Quality as a peer colleague. You'll share the Peer Recovery Supporter (PRS) supervision panel with the Senior Manager, Clinical Quality.

How your time is spent

What You'll Do

Assessments and Treatment Plan Updates (~30%)

• Conduct and co-sign diagnostic assessments in line with ASAM criteria and Ohio Medicaid requirements.
• Review and approve assessments completed by CDCAs and other assessors, and provide final clinical signature.

• Support smooth transitions between assessment, IOP, peer recovery, and case management services.
• Make sure all documentation is complete, accurate, and billable before submission.
• Support client discharges and follow-up.

Peer Recovery and Case Management: Supervision, Quality, and Client Experience (~40%)

• Provide monthly individual and group clinical supervision to Peer Recovery Supporters and targeted case management (TCM) staff, in compliance with Ohio supervision requirements. You'll carry the larger share of the PRS panel.
• Supervise CDCAs and TCM staff, including visit reviews and sign-off.
• Complete Peer Recovery Supporter supervision training within 30 days of onboarding, if not already completed.
• Log all supervision in our EHR within 1 business day.

• Conduct scheduled and random chart audits of peer and case management documentation.
• Monitor Looker dashboards weekly for your panel's quality indicators and service targets.
• Make first-line decisions on reportable concerns, risk reports, and scheduled interval checks within your panel, rather than routing every case upward.
• Respond to escalated concerns within 1 business day, with resolution typically in 1 to 3 business days.
• Close all documentation within 1 business day of month end.
• Submit a monthly summary of your panel's quality activity to the Senior Manager, Clinical Quality, for the organization-wide report to the CCO.

• Report attendance trends, curriculum gaps, drug screen concerns, and clinical concerns to the Treatment Director.
• Support prior authorization requirements according to policy and Medicaid rules.

Clinical Contributor: EHR Platform (~10%)

The Senior Manager, Clinical Quality, is the lead clinical expert for our EHR platform. You'll partner with them, bringing a frontline perspective from your assessment, supervision, and IOP work:

• Flag workflow gaps and friction you encounter in practice.
• Provide input on proposed updates and new features.
• Pilot new functionality for assessments, supervision, and IOP, and give clinical feedback.
• Support rollout of new service lines in the EHR.
