Full job description
Department Overview
The Patient Grievance Case Management (GCM) position is responsible for the acknowledgement, facilitating
investigation, follow-up, resolution, and documentation of patient complaints, grievances, concerns, and inquiries across all OHSU sites of care.
They serve as an objective, person-centered partner for all parties involved in the complaint and grievance process — patients, families, and care team members alike. Rather than functioning as an advocate for any single party, this role is grounded in fairness, active listening, and a genuine commitment to understanding every perspective. The Case Manager works to ensure that each person involved feels heard, respected, and supported throughout the resolution process.
Central to this role is the management of OHSU's formal complaint and grievance process. This includes receiving and documenting concerns through multiple channels, conducting thorough and impartial investigations, coordinating with clinical and administrative staff, and delivering timely written responses that meet departmental standards and Federal and State regulatory requirements. The Case Manager tracks and documents all activity within the complaint management system to support organizational reporting and quality improvement efforts.
This is a demanding role that requires a high degree of professionalism and personal resilience. The work calls for exceptional organizational skills to manage multiple cases simultaneously, strong written and verbal communication to convey findings clearly and compassionately, and the emotional intelligence to navigate sensitive and often distressing situations with calm and care. Active listening, empathy, diplomacy, and the ability to remain objective under pressure are essential to performing this work effectively.
