Job Description
As a Health Information Management (HIM) Specialist I, you'll be one of the behind-the-scenes heroes who help make excellent patient care possible. You'll keep medical records secure, accurate, and organized - all while supporting doctors, nurses, billing teams, and patients alike.
From protecting privacy to powering research and supporting billing, your work keeps the hospital running smoothly. You'll also be a key part of a friendly and collaborative HIM team - working alongside Specialists II-IV, supervisors, and other departments to keep things moving forward with a positive spirit.
If you're a detail-driven problem solver who loves helping people, staying organized, and keeping things confidential - we'd love to meet you!
What You'll Be Doing:
* Be the guardian of patient health records - ensuring they're accurate, secure, and handled with care.
* Support smooth communication between departments by managing requests for medical records.
* Stay sharp on HIPAA, Joint Commission, CMS rules, and hospital policies - you'll be our compliance champ.
* Keep the digital world in order by using EMRs and other tools (scanners, copiers, email, Outlook, etc.).
* Help the team analyze data for quality improvement and patient safety projects.
* Provide kind, responsive, and professional customer service to patients, families, and colleagues.
* Pitch in wherever needed to keep our HIM department running like a well-oiled machine.
What You Bring to the Table:
Must-Haves:
High school diploma or equivalent
Friendly and professional communication skills - written, spoken, and everything in between
Great attention to detail and a love for staying organized
Ability to juggle tasks and deadlines with ease
Problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn
Comfort with tech: Outlook, Word, PDFs, scanners, faxes, and other office gear
Understanding of privacy rules and the importance of keeping patient info confidential
Nice-to-Haves (Bonus Points!):
Experience with Cerner or Oracle EMR systems
College-level medical terminology course (or equivalent knowledge)
Speak, read, or write a second language
AHIMA credentials (RHIT, RHIA, or micro-credentials)
Why You'll Love It Here:
* You'll join a passionate, supportive HIM team
* Every day is different - but always meaningful
* You'll help improve lives by managing the information that powers patient care
* You'll work in an environment that values respect, teamwork, and growth
