Job description
Population Health Coordinator
Jordan Valley Health (JVH) is a mission-driven organization dedicated to improving the health of individuals and families in underserved communities. We provide comprehensive healthcare services including primary medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health. Our mission is simple: Improve our community's health through access and relationships. By working collaboratively with partners and continually innovating, JVH strives to be a leader in providing essential healthcare for the underserved, ensuring everyone in our community has access to quality healthcare.
The Population Health Coordinator supports the FQHC's mission by helping the clinic meet quality and performance targets tied to value-based contracts and payer incentive programs. This role serves as a key liaison between the health center and payers—including Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs), Medicare Advantage plans, and commercial insurers—to coordinate performance tracking, reporting, and program compliance. The ideal candidate understands healthcare quality measures and has a strong ability to communicate across clinical, administrative, and payer audiences to ensure the overall wellbeing of our patient population through collaborative engagement.
Key Responsibilities:
Service as a clinical point of contact to collaborate with internal teams (clinical, care coordination, EHR/IT, and finance) to support care gap closures and performance improvement initiatives.
Conduct proactive outreach to patients due for preventive or chronic care services (e.g., annual wellness visits, screenings, immunizations).
Assist patients in scheduling needed appointments to meet quality care and program benchmarks.
Serve as a clinical point of contact for payer incentive programs and quality initiatives (e.g., HEDIS, UDS, PCMH, Medicaid DSRIP, Medicare Advantage STAR Ratings).
Review and interpret incentive structures and reporting requirements.
Track and monitor performance against incentive program metrics; support accurate and timely data submissions to payers.
Coordinate payer audits, site visits, and documentation requests.
Educate staff on payer programs, value-based care goals, and workflow expectations.
Analyze trends in quality data to identify improvement opportunities and reduce barriers to achieving incentive targets.
Participate in payer meetings and maintain organized documentation of program requirements and outcomes.
Collaborate with IT/EHR teams to support development of reports and dashboards for internal tracking.
All other duties as assigned.
