Quality Management Director

• Quality Manager | High-Impact Leadership Role | LTACH (Columbia, MO) 

  Step Out of Bureaucracy—And Into Real Impact 

  A growing hospital network is seeking a Quality Manager to lead quality, risk, and patient safety initiatives at a 39-bed Long-Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH) in Columbia, MO. 

  This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll partner directly with the Hospital CEO and clinical leadership to improve outcomes for medically complex patients with longer-term recoveries (~25-day average stay). 

  If you’re ready to own your department, influence real change, and see the impact of your work firsthand, this is a rare opportunity. 

  Why This Role Stands Out 

  • Direct line to the Hospital CEO—high visibility and influence  

  • True ownership of Quality, Risk, and Safety programs  

  • Smaller hospital environment = faster decisions, meaningful impact  

  • Monday–Friday schedule—no weekends  

  • Opportunity to build and elevate programs, not just maintain them  

  What You’ll Own 

  • Lead Quality & Performance Improvement initiatives end-to-end  

  • Drive regulatory compliance & accreditation readiness (CIHQ / Joint Commission)  

  • Oversee risk management, infection prevention, and patient safety programs  

  • Spearhead survey readiness and continuous improvement efforts  

  • Analyze and present quality metrics and outcomes to leadership  

  • Utilize quality tools (e.g., root cause analysis) to improve processes  

  • Partner closely with clinical and operational leaders to elevate care  

  What You Bring 

  • 3+ years of experience in Quality, Risk, or Infection Control in healthcare  

  • Experience with regulatory/accreditation processes (The Joint Commission or CIHQ)  

  • Active clinical license (RN, RT, or similar)  

  • Experience with EMR/EHR systems  

  • Strong analytical, leadership, and communication skills  

  Preferred: 

  • Acute care or hospital-based experience  

  • CIHQ certification (or willingness to obtain)  

  Compensation 

  • $96,000 – $105,000 base salary  

  Benefits 

  • 4+ weeks PTO  

  • 401(k) with match  

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage  

  • Tuition reimbursement up to $15K  

  • Disability and life insurance  

  About the Organization 

  Part of a privately owned hospital system specializing in transitional care for medically complex patients, offering the stability of an established network with the feel of a close-knit hospital team. 

  Why Columbia, MO? 

  • Home to the University of Missouri  

  • Lively college-town atmosphere with a strong sense of community  

  • Growing healthcare hub with career stability and opportunity  

  • Lower cost of living with a balanced, high-quality lifestyle  

  Interested? 

  If you’re looking for a role where you can drive outcomes, work directly with leadership, and make a measurable impact quickly, this is worth a conversation.
