CEPC seeking Program Manager for Practice Coaching and Training

The Center for Excellence in Primary Care (CEPC) identifies, develops, tests, and disseminates promising innovations in primary care to improve the patient experience, enhance population health and health equity, reduce the cost of care, and restore joy and satisfaction in the practice of primary care. CEPC is housed within the Department of Family & Community Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital.

Primary care transformation requires the implementation of essential components of high performing primary care, such as team-based care and data-driven improvement. CEPC calls these the Building Blocks of High Performing Primary Care (http://www.chcf.org/publications/2012/04/building-blocks-primary-care). Drawn from the experiences of high performing primary care practice, the building blocks provide a roadmap to improvements in patient experience, population health, and the sustainability of primary care. CEPC has a unique opportunity to help primary care health centers, both within the safety net for San Francisco and more broadly across the country, integrate these Building Blocks into their practices through training to clinics seeking to implement team based care, panel management, and complex care management.
