Job Description

Expand your operational influence and visibility through multi-hospital exposure. As a Supervisor, Health Records you’ll strengthen your leadership capability while gaining meaningful insight into coding, analytics, reporting, and funding decisions. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to two Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems while also contributing to an upcoming EPR renewal that will reshape digital workflows across both Mount Sinai and Hennick Bridgepoint Hospitals. Working closely with coding, analytics, and reporting teams provides a broader view of how health information supports organizational performance. Your work helps ensure reliable information flow that informs clinical care and performance decisions across Sinai Health.

Is this you?

Reliable, steady leadership is one of your core strengths, especially when coordinating complex work across a team. In supervising, monitoring and scheduling staff, you balance coverage needs with how people work together, using constructive feedback, coaching and counselling to support performance and customer service. The development of your team is a deliberate focus in your leadership style, and you draw on training plans, coaching conversations and regular check‑ins to help staff build confidence with medical records processes. This combination of structure, support and growth creates a team that delivers dependable results, regardless of shifting demands.

Clear, concise communication is central to how you navigate a busy, multi-stakeholder environment. When staff bring forward concerns, you create space for them to be heard fully, then respond in a way that is concise, solution‑oriented and grounded in policy. A steady, respectful approach anchors your interactions with staff, leaders and union partners, even when views differ. Professionalism is non‑negotiable for you, and you maintain it consistently in conversations. This approach to your communication builds trust across teams and makes it easier to move complex situations toward practical resolution.

Critical thinking shapes how you approach the many operational questions that cross your desk. Faced with a new inquiry, you separate what is known from what is missing, confirm key facts in the appropriate systems and assess how potential options align with hospital policies and standards. Resourcefulness is evident in your ability to navigate between data, documentation and people to build a clear picture before recommending next steps. This disciplined, evidence‑informed approach supports timely decision making.
