About This Position

⭐ 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.
