About your past
Tell me about the largest outpatient practice you have run. What were you responsible for, financially and operationally?
What they are checking: Whether their past scope matches running both a physician practice and a hospital outpatient department.
How do you involve staff in building the budget, and how do you keep them accountable to it during the year?
What they are checking: Whether they practice the shared fiscal accountability the posting describes rather than running the budget alone.
Tell me about a time you found a chance to grow or expand a service. How did you make the case for it?
What they are checking: Whether they can spot growth opportunities and build a business case, which the posting asks for directly.
How do you keep your team informed when the organization changes direction or a new policy comes down?
What they are checking: Whether they turn change into clear, useful communication for staff, as the posting expects.
Describe a time you had to deal with a compliance concern in a practice you managed.

What would you do
Neurology access is often a problem. How would you work on long wait times for new patients in Orland Park?
What they are checking: Whether they can improve access through scheduling and templates, a key measure in specialty practices.
A physician is frustrated that their clinic always runs late and blames the staff. How do you handle that?
What they are checking: Whether they can work with physicians to fix a process problem without blaming staff or avoiding conflict.
How do you keep morale up and turnover down among front desk and clinical support staff?
What they are checking: Whether they can create the rewarding environment the posting names, since turnover hurts patient experience.
About the work
Walk me through how you would read a monthly variance report for a neuroscience practice and what you would do about a big gap.
What they are checking: Whether they can find the real cause behind numbers and act on it, not just report them.
How do the rules differ when you manage a hospital outpatient department versus a physician practice, and how does that change your work?
What they are checking: Whether they understand regulatory and billing differences that affect compliance and revenue.
