Job Summary

The Sr. VP & Chief Advanced Practice Officer (CAPO) is a member of the Prevea Health executive leadership team, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, and serves as the senior executive accountable for advanced practice provider (APP) strategy, governance, and workforce performance across the organization. The CAPO leads Prevea's operational response to Wisconsin Act 17 (APRN Modernization Act) and partners with the Chief Medical Officer to advance a unified, physician-led, APP-partnered model of care. The Sr. VP & CAPO leads APP workforce strategy and deployment, provides direct line leadership of Prevea's APP supervisor team at the service-line level, partners with the Chief Financial Officer on specialty-level APP compensation model design, and builds the professional development, fellowship, and career architecture required to attract, develop, and retain advanced practice talent. APP voice in governance is provided through two at-large elected APP representatives on the Medical Practice Committee (non-voting). The role oversees more than 200 APPs (NPs, PAs, CNMs) deployed across primary care, specialty care, and surgical service lines. The CAPO is positioned as a complement to the Chief Medical Officer and a peer to other C-suite leaders, with enterprise-level accountability for advanced practice as a strategic priority of the organization. Consistent with Prevea's clinically-active executive model for those holding clinical credentials, the role is structured at 0.8 FTE administrative and 0.2 FTE clinical; the clinical setting is determined by the CAPO's clinical background and Prevea's service-line needs.

What You Will Do

• Workforce Strategy & APP Deployment: Develop and execute the enterprise APP workforce strategy in alignment with physician workforce planning. Lead APP hiring plans, panel-sharing models, top-of-license deployment, and scope optimization across primary care, specialty care, and surgical service lines. Use workforce economics (AMGA benchmarks, internal productivity, and provider compensation as a percentage of net revenue) to inform deployment decisions and demonstrate the financial value of optimized APP integration.
• Practice Standards, Scope & Regulatory Leadership: Lead Prevea's operational response to Wisconsin Act 17, including the post-Act 17 collaborative practice architecture, CPA templates, and scope-of-practice policies by specialty. Partner with the Chief Medical Officer and the Medical Practice Committee on credentialing criteria by APP role (NP, PA, CNM), peer review standards, and ongoing regulatory and licensure compliance.
• APP Compensation Model Design: In partnership with the Chief Financial Officer, co-own the design and ongoing maintenance of APP compensation models by specialty, mirroring the partnership structure used for physician compensation design. Ensure base, productivity, and incentive structures align with scope-of-practice expectations, external market benchmarks, and the deployment economics that underwrite the workforce strategy.
• APP Operating Leadership & Governance: Provide direct line leadership of Prevea's APP supervisor team who manage the APP discipline at the service-line level alongside Department Chairs and Executive Directors as peers. Establish and oversee the at-large election of two APP representatives to the Medical Practice Committee in a non-voting capacity, ensuring APP voice in MPC governance while preserving the MPC's physician-led governance authority. Maintain and expand formal APP representation on quality committees, clinical informatics, patient experience, and other enterprise governance bodies.
• Professional Development, Onboarding & Fellowship: Lead the design and execution of APP transition-to-practice programs, onboarding standards, continuing education, and the Prevea APP fellowship program. Build the APP succession plan (clinical APP, senior APP, lead APP), with the APP Supervisor role serving as the natural apex destination for the most senior APPs and continuing to partner with Department Chairs and Executive Directors at the service-line level rather than functioning as parallel directors.
• Engagement, Retention & APP Voice: Serve as the executive accountable for APP engagement, retention, and voice. Establish APP-specific engagement metrics, drive turnover reduction against baseline, and ensure APP perspectives are represented in enterprise decision-making in a manner consistent with Prevea's physician-led identity.
• Quality, Outcomes & Performance Standards: Define and track APP-specific quality metrics, productivity standards, and panel management benchmarks. Ensure APP performance data informs deployment, compensation, and development decisions, and that APPs are appropriately represented in quality and outcomes governance.
• Executive Leadership & Cross-functional Alignment: Serve as a member of the Prevea executive leadership team, contributing to enterprise strategy, governance, and Board reporting. Partner closely with the CMO, CFO, COO, CHRO, Chief Strategy Officer, and service-line physician leaders to ensure APP strategy is integrated into enterprise priorities including workforce planning, primary care recruitment, financial performance, and Prevea's strategic positioning relative to peer Wisconsin systems.
• Clinical Practice: Maintain active clinical practice consistent with Prevea's physician-led, clinically-active executive model. The clinical setting is determined by the CAPO's clinical background (FNP, ACNP, PA, CNM, or other) and Prevea's service-line needs at the time of hire, with the schedule structured to preserve administrative effectiveness while sustaining clinical credibility, currency, and connection to the APP workforce.
