About the Role

This position is designed for individuals ready to take on an intermediate level of responsibility within our Health Information Services (HIS) operations. You will be responsible for processing all Release of Information (ROI) requests, specifically medical record requests, in a timely and efficient manner. Your work ensures accuracy and provides customers with the highest quality product and service.

In this role, you will safeguard and protect the patient's right to privacy at all times, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to medical information and that all releases comply with requests, authorizations, company policy, and HIPAA regulations. You will also play a key leadership role by training HIS I staff, generating reports for managers, and acting as a lead for general questions and new hire training.

A unique aspect of this position is the travel requirement; you will travel 75% or more of your time to various client sites. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working with minimum supervision, and is eager to manage multiple tasks while maintaining strict data security standards.

Hiring Process & Application

To ensure the safety of patients and staff, many of our clients require post-offer health screenings and proof of various vaccinations (e.g., flu shot, Tdap, COVID-19). Requests for exemptions will be reviewed by Datavant Human Resources on a case-by-case basis, depending on state regulations and individual circumstances.

Datavant is committed to working with and providing reasonable accommodations to individuals with physical and mental disabilities.
