Job Description

Founded in 1938, Wilcox Medical Center is a not-for-profit medical center dedicated to providing the Kaua'i community with accessible quality health care. The largest medical center on Kaua'i, it is a state-of-the-art acute care facility with a full suite of services offering 30 specialties and programs, including cardiology, emergency, family practice, gastroenterology, health management, internal medicine, neurology, OB-GYN, oncology, orthopedics, pediatrics and urology. Its 18-bed emergency department serves as the island's Primary Stroke Center. The medical center also has four birthing suites, seven intensive care beds and 20 same-day surgery beds. Wilcox is the first American College of Surgeons-verified Level III Trauma Center in the state of Hawai'i. Wilcox is part of Hawai'i Pacific Health, one of the state's leading health care systems and a not-for-profit health care organization with medical centers, clinics, physicians and other caregivers working together to create a healthier Hawai'i.

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.

If you are highly organized and detail-oriented, you can help to manage our clinical records according to the highest ethical standards of patient privacy and security. As the Clinical Documentation Specialist, you will work to improve the overall quality of medical record documentation to ensure compliance with Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) guidelines and to expedite reimbursement. You will use both clinical and coding knowledge to obtain documentation through extensive interaction with physicians, nursing, other patient caregivers, Case Management and Health Information Management staff. You will also ensure that the clinical information used in measuring and reporting outcomes is complete, accurate, and that reimbursement is received for services rendered to patients with DRG-based payers. You will also educate members of the patient care team on documentation guidelines. We are looking for someone with exceptional organizational and communication skills, attention to detail and protocol and a commitment to delivering the highest quality health care to Hawai'i's people.
