FPAR and Quality Improvement Specialist (NTC)

POSITION SUMMARY

Provide specialized knowledge of the Family Planning Annual Report (FPAR), Title X data quality, and quality-improvement (QI) practice to Title X recipients and their authorized networks. This role strengthens recipient reporting and use of information; it does not replace the recipients’ reporting obligations or serve as RHMI’s overall evaluation director.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Interpret applicable FPAR data definitions and develop role-specific training, reference tools, examples, and FAQs.
• Help recipient data, clinical, fiscal, and program teams recognize inconsistent definitions, documentation gaps, and common reporting errors.
• Support practical EHR documentation and data-extraction workflows while preserving local system differences and recipient accountability.
• Develop data-quality checklists, validation approaches, dashboards, measure guides, and action-plan templates suitable for Title X settings.
• Lead webinars, office hours, case exercises, and selected or targeted TTA on FPAR readiness and data-use improvements.
• Coach teams through focused QI cycles with baseline measures, tested changes, documentation, and follow-up.
• Coordinate with the Evaluation Director on data-quality principles while keeping recipient clinical reporting separate from NTC performance evaluation.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Direct experience with FPAR reporting or Title X program data management and quality assurance.
• Working knowledge of Title X data definitions, EHR documentation, validation, and performance measures.
• Hands-on experience with QI methods and explaining data concepts to clinical and nontechnical audiences.
• Ability to recognize data limitations and identify when specialist or federal guidance is needed.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience advising multiple Title X recipients or service sites.
• Ability to create usable dashboards and training materials; familiarity with varied EHR and reporting environments.

EXPECTED RESULTS

• Accurate, current FPAR training products and practical recipient data-quality tools.
• Documented recipient QI cycles or action plans showing improved reporting processes.
