<br>
I wanted to let you know that we are just beginning the search for a Program
Officer to direct our new Program on Vulnerable Populations. This position is
located in the Fund’s offices in New York City. <br>
<br>
The Fund’s Program on Vulnerable Populations, part of the foundation’s efforts
in the field of delivery system improvement and innovation, will seek to ensure
that low-income, uninsured, and minority populations receive care from
high-performing health systems. The program consists of two components: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ol start=1 type=1>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3'>A grantmaking program on High-Performing Health
Systems Serving Vulnerable Populations. This program was created in April
2011 as a natural outgrowth of the Fund’s past and current work in
community health systems for vulnerable populations and state health care
policy. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3'>The Commonwealth Fund/Harvard Minority Health
Policy Fellowships. The fellowship program, established in 1996 and based
at Harvard Medical School, seeks to develop physician leaders who will
address the health needs of vulnerable populations.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ol>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Working
closely with me, the program officer will be responsible for all aspects of the
program, including developing a grantmaking, intramural research, and
dissemination strategy that includes:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6'>Monitoring and Tracking: Documenting and tracking
health care utilization and quality of health care for vulnerable
populations at the state level.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6'>Delivery System Reform: Encouraging state- and
regional/local-level planning for systems of care that can meet the health
care and related needs of vulnerable populations. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6'>Current Models and Future Opportunities:
Identifying promising practices and delivery system models, and developing
and disseminating policy recommendations to support innovations and
improvements in care systems so they can better serve vulnerable
populations. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6'>Government Policy Levers: Working with CMS, state
Medicaid programs, HRSA, and other agencies and payers to identify
incentives and supportive federal and state policies that would achieve
equity in access and quality, and address concerns related to vulnerable
populations across a continuum of care. <o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><br>
The qualified candidate will have doctoral level training, although outstanding
candidates with a combination of relevant experience and education will be
considered. Ten years’ related work experience with health care delivery
systems, public health, and vulnerable populations experience is required. This
experience should ideally include working with government and organizations at
the state and national level, and/or in health care delivery systems serving
vulnerable populations. The candidate should also have a strong background in
health insurance coverage, particularly Medicaid, and policy, including health
services financing and delivery system issues, quality improvement and
efficiency, managed care, and availability of and access to care. Health policy
and research analytical skills required include the ability to summarize and
present information from different sources, including quantitative sources. A
complete job description is available at <a
href="http://www.commonwealthfund.org/">http://www.commonwealthfund.org/</a>. <br>
