Career Level - IC3

A strong Project Manager (PM) at Western Missouri Medical Center must have leadership, organization, and technical expertise to oversee major initiatives like the Revenue Cycle and Patient Accounting overhaul with OHPA, the MERGE PACs replacement, and the Pharmacy uplift. They need strategic planning skills to align projects with hospital goals, keeping them on track while managing risks.

An effective PM must collaborate across departments, including IT, finance, clinical leadership, and vendors. This means coordinating with billing and compliance teams for the OHPA overhaul, ensuring a smooth MERGE PACs transition with minimal disruption, and managing pharmacy formulary and charge reconciliation to optimize revenue and compliance.

A PM must also be a strong problem solver, proactively identifying risks and adapting to changing priorities. They drive accountability, ensuring deadlines, budgets, and goals are met.
