I lead HIM and privacy compliance to protect PHI and improve operations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an experienced healthcare leader focused on Health Information Management (HIM) and HIPAA/Privacy compliance. As a HIM Supervisor and Privacy Officer, I oversee daily operations that keep patient records accurate, secure, and aligned with federal, state, and organizational requirements.
I serve as facility Privacy Officer—monitoring and enforcing policies for protected health information (PHI), release of information, documentation standards, and medical record security. I conduct privacy audits, investigate potential HIPAA violations, and implement corrective action plans while educating and training staff to strengthen confidentiality and compliance.
I also manage chart completion processes, physician documentation deficiencies, and record retention requirements. I collaborate closely with nursing leadership, physicians, case management, and administration to ensure documentation accuracy and regulatory compliance—while supervising HIM staff on scheduling, performance management, training, and workflow oversight.
Before this role, I supported physician operations as an Office Manager and improved coordination across multiple facilities through scheduling, rounding calendars, and provider coverage. I also served as a Surgery Scheduler, managing complex surgical calendars, pre-admission needs, EMR updates, and compliance for general and thoracic surgery workflows.
