Health Information Manager/Clinical Coder

As a member of the Health Information Management led Coding Services team, you will primarily be responsible for the accurate and timely coding of patient records utilising ICD-10-AM, the Department of Health Admission Criteria requirements, and the Australian Coding Standards (ACS).

In addition to this important task, you will be offered opportunities to work with clinical & research champions working with health data, as well as utilising your knowledge and skills in conducting audits, education and clinical documentation activities related to health information data.

All members of the clinical coding team are set up to work from home once internal training is completed, and all staff work a hybrid of on site and at home hours.

All clinical coding is conducted exclusively using our Epic Electronic Medical Record, which is a shared record across the four Parkville Precinct health services. As such, there is significant interaction with the other health services and the central EMR team, and opportunities to be involved in ongoing development and use of the record across the precinct.

Peter Mac celebrates, values and supports a diverse and inclusive environment which reflects our vibrant community. We encourage applications from anyone identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. We also welcome anyone who identifies as LGBTQIA+, linguistically, culturally and/or gender diverse, people with disability, and people of any age to apply for our roles.

If you feel this role is right for you we warmly invite you to apply, and encourage your early application. All appointments are made subject to a satisfactory police check and may include vaccination requirements. Should you need assistance or require any adjustments or accommodations to fully participate in the application or interview process, you are welcome to reach out to the contact person listed. We acknowledge that not all applicants will meet the full list of selection criteria outlined, and wherever possible we will consider applications where relevant experience can apply.

Applicants for this role should provide a cover letter and curriculum vitae outlining relative key skills and experience to assist us with our assessment.
