Job Description

Summary
The University of Michigan Health System is home to multiple Collaborative Quality Initiatives (CQIs) coordinating centers which seek to address some of the most common, complex, and costly areas of surgical and medical care. With funding from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM), the CQIs work collaboratively with health care providers throughout Michigan to collect data to a centralized registry. The data are analyzed and shared to identify processes that lead to improved delivery of care and outcomes, and guide quality improvement interventions.

The Obstetric Initiative (OBI) is a Collaborative Quality Initiative (CQI) statewide quality improvement project working with over 70 Michigan maternity hospitals. OBI is working to address variation in obstetric care with a primary focus on promoting vaginal birth and safely lowering the cesarean delivery rate among low-risk patients. Additional initiatives include promoting birth equity, safe opioid prescribing and reducing maternal morbidity. We are currently seeking a dynamic and motivated self-starter to join our team in the role of Lead Database Administrator.
