The Company is in search of a Chief Medical Officer (CMO) to join its executive leadership team. The CMO will be a pivotal figure in advancing clinical excellence, with a focus on quality and safety leadership. This role involves designing and overseeing a consistent operating model for quality and patient safety, establishing clear clinical standards, and implementing processes to improve the reliability of care delivery. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring that quality and safety efforts lead to sustained changes in physician behavior and clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on key outcomes such as mortality and hospital-acquired infections. The CMO will also be tasked with bringing contemporary, evidence-based best practices to the organization and serving as a thought leader in quality and safety.

The role requires a leader who can enhance collaboration across clinical, nursing, and operational leadership, and who is adept at communication, engagement, and change leadership to drive a culture of quality and safety.
