Senior Operating Officer

Capital Health (located in Edmonton, Alberta), Canada's largest academic health region, is seeking a Senior Operating Officer for the University of Alberta Hospital.
With a reputation for creating a culture of innovation and excellence, Capital Health is one of the country's top-rated health systems. The University of Alberta Hospital (UAH) is one of Capital Health's two tertiary/quaternary referral centre facilities. Co-located with the University of Alberta and its health sciences facilities, it also is home to the Stollery Children's Hospital and the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute under the same roof. With over 750 beds, the three facilities together provide a wide range of diagnostic and treatment services for both adults and children, including specialized services within cardiac sciences, neurosciences, surgery, medicine, renal, critical care, burns and emergency and trauma care.

This is one of four key positions reporting to the Chief Operating Officer (UAH/Stollery), with the other three being the Senior Operating Officers for the Heart Institute, for the Stollery, and for Special Projects. The Senior Operating Officer, UAH, will lead a team of patient care directors in ensuring the provision of a diverse range of quality patient care programs for the Hospital. This individual will also develop and maintain partnerships with internal and external stakeholders to foster an effective multi-disciplinary team approach to the complex issues of care within the UAH specifically, and the Capital Health Region more broadly.
The successful candidate will have a track record of significant management and operations experience at a senior level in a complex health care environment, some of which will ideally have been gained in an academic health sciences centre. A clinical background is essential, as is a leadership style that is truly collaborative, consultative, and wholly focused on the importance of teamwork in providing quality care and seeking innovative solutions to complex problems. Above all else, the new Senior Operating Officer, UAH, must have outstanding communication and management skills.

Consideration of candidates will begin in early April 2008. Please respond in confidence to the address shown below.
