Job description

Hawai'i Pacific Health is a not-for-profit health care network with over 70 locations statewide including medical centers, clinics, physicians and other caregivers serving Hawai'i and the Pacific Region with high quality, compassionate care. Its four medical centers - Kapi'olani, Pali Momi, Straub and Wilcox - specialize in innovative programs in women’s health, pediatric care, cardiovascular services, cancer care, bone and joint services and more. Hawai'i Pacific Health is recognized nationally for its excellence in patient care and the use of electronic health records to improve quality and patient safety.

Health Information Services (HIS) processes patient medical records and releases health information to patients, physicians, and other outside facilities for treatment, payment, or review. HIS is the custodian and gatekeeper for privacy of the organization’s medical records and also generates the coding procedures for data collection, research, and reimbursement. With the widespread computerization of health records and other information sources, including hospital administration functions and health human resources information, health informatics and health information technology are being increasingly used in the health care sector.

As a Health Record Technician, you will play a key role in ensuring that patient records are maintained and protected according to the quality and confidentiality standards of Straub’s Information Services. This includes assigning diagnosis and procedure codes and abstracting information from health records to provide an accurate and complete coded profile for reimbursement and research purposes. We are looking for someone meticulous and precise, with outstanding organizational and data management skills, the ability to work independently with minimal supervision and a commitment to delivering the highest quality health care to Hawai‘i’s people.
