Job Description

⭐ Your Mission

To deliver skilled nursing services AND design, launch, and scale a statewide Home Health division - building the systems, workflows, team, and payer relationships needed to create a financially strong program with exceptional clinical quality.

You are not inheriting a system.

You are building the system.

You will begin hands-on and grow into the role of General Manager of Home Health Services as the division becomes profitable.

⭐ What You Will Lead - AND Do

1. Build & Launch (Day 1)

  • Lead the clinical launch of Bridging Care’s licensed Home Health agency under WAC 246-335
  • Architect clinical workflows: referral acceptance → SOC assessment → Plan of Care → skilled visits → documentation → billing → QA
  • Create documentation templates, clinical standards, and compliance protocols from scratch
  • Support MCO contracting (CHPW, CCW, Molina, UHC, Kaiser, Wellpoint)
  • Integrate Home Health services seamlessly with Bridging Care’s 2,200-member care coordination model
  • Support referral acceptance decisions from a clinical appropriateness and safety perspective

    2. Provide Clinical Services (Bootstrap Phase)

    To keep the division lean and self-funding, you will:

  • Conduct Start of Care (SOC) assessments, initial evaluations, and skilled nursing visits
  • Develop and implement individualized Plans of Care
  • Coordinate interdisciplinary services across skilled disciplines (RN, PT, OT, ST, HHA)
  • Maintain excellent documentation and compliance with WAC 246-335 standards
  • Begin generating revenue immediately while building the division

    This phase lasts only until the program becomes profitable - then your caseload decreases as leadership expands.

    3. Grow & Scale (Months 4–12)

  • Hire and supervise additional skilled clinicians - RNs, PTs, OTs, STs, and HHAs (initially 1099, then W2)
  • Build an integrated, multidisciplinary clinical team across Pierce County and South King County
  • Implement dashboards, KPIs, and scalable operational processes
  • Develop productivity, quality, and financial performance systems

    4. Operate & Optimize (Months 6–18)

  • Own clinical quality, compliance, documentation standards, and audit readiness
  • Manage toward productivity, financial performance, and strong patient outcomes
  • Improve access, reduce missed visits, and build a sustainable clinical model
  • Collaborate with Quality/Compliance on monthly audits and corrective action plans
  • Serve as the key operational leader for Home Health services
  • Prepare for promotion to General Manager / VP of Home Health Services

    ⭐ Who You Are

    ✔ You are BOTH clinical AND operational

    You enjoy providing direct patient care - and you love building systems, workflows, and programs.

    ✔ You are a builder, not a maintainer

    You thrive in environments where you get to create structure, not just follow it.

    ✔ You think in terms of “Who, not How”

    You know how to recruit the right clinicians and build a high-performing interdisciplinary team.

    ✔ You can talk to payers, regulators, and clinicians

    Comfortably covering compliance, documentation, quality, outcomes, workflows, and financial performance.

    ✔ You have built or scaled a healthcare program before

    You bring demonstrated experience launching, growing, or turning around a clinical program or healthcare operation, including building teams, standing up workflows, and driving quality outcomes. Home health experience is a plus, but what matters most is that you know how to build.

    ✔ You are entrepreneurial and mission-driven

    You want to improve lives AND build a sustainable, profitable division.

    ✔ You are hungry for growth

    You want a pathway to become a VP of Home Health Services - and eventually lead a statewide scalable operation.
