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
