Practice Advisor​/Consultant

At The Center for the Advancement of Health IT, (AHIT for short), we make a difference in the lives of others through our consulting and coaching services provided to various healthcare organizations. These are primarily in Florida but we’re not limited by geography. We’re all about helping physician practices and groups improve performance in a variety of areas, including, but not limited to:

• Medical Home and Care Transformation
• Quality and/or Performance Improvement
• MACRA/QPP
• Value Based Reimbursement
• EHR Implementation
• Practice Workflow Redesign
• Healthcare Data Security/ Securityrisk Assessments

We believe every patient, no matter their income, location, ethnicity, religion, etc. deserves the best care available. By working with our clients, we aim to help make sure that happens. It’s our mission to provide quality consulting, education, and solutions that foster better care, better health, and a better healthcare system for physicians and the patients they serve.

It’s important to know our company has no owner – we are a non‑profit, and all client‑service profits go back into the company to continue our mission.

Job Summary

Succeed through the success of others! There is tremendous opportunity to create small and big “wins” for our clients, many of them in small practices or underserved markets. The country’s healthcare system is evolving. Being a positive force of change is the challenge.

The consultant/coach role (aka Advisor) works closely with clients and others on the AHIT team to advance practice and care goals. The majority (like 99%) of the work is done virtually. The job includes providing education and guidance to healthcare organizations in various subject matters (see above list in Overview), understanding their goals, helping them to overcome barriers, and working collaboratively to develop plans of action for a pathway to success!

This is not a road‑warrior type job but occasional travel may be necessary (very occasionally!). Our main office is located in St. Pete. Our team consists of in‑house staff as well as those who work from private, suitable home offices (if qualified)
