THE HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE
Where Talent Meets Opportunity
Manager, Health Info Coding/Abstracting
Hawaii
Some hospitals deliver excellent care. Others become part of the community they serve.
This organization is both.
This is a remote/hybrid leadership role (must reside in Hawaii) overseeing a 25 FTE coding and abstracting team in a high-acuity health system environment, including support for a Level I Trauma Designated facility. Its mission has been rooted in caring for the people of Hawaii for generations, and that sense of stewardship continues to guide the leadership team today.
Leaders here are visible, collaborative, and supportive, with a clear understanding of the importance of strong coding practices, compliance, and partnership with CDI and Quality. The focus is on building sustainable programs rather than operating in reaction mode.
The HIM/CDI Director has built a strong foundation and leads a team that values precision, integrity in coding practices, and continued professional growth.
Position Overview
The Manager of Health Information Coding/Abstracting oversees daily operations of the coding department while ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with regulatory standards.
Key responsibilities include:
- Oversight of a Coding Operations Manager and 25 FTE team
- Maintains 95% coding accuracy
- Supports a hospital delivering highly complex tertiary and quaternary care
- Partnering closely with CDI, Quality, and Compliance leadership
This leader will focus on team development, operational efficiency, and continued alignment between coding, quality, and compliance initiatives.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Stable leadership environment with long-tenured executive and HIM leadership
- Opportunity to lead a well-established coding team supporting complex tertiary and quaternary care
- Strong collaboration between HIM, CDI, Quality, and Compliance
- An organization deeply rooted in serving the people of Hawaii
- The chance to make a meaningful impact while living in one of the most unique communities in the United States
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree required, preferably in health care administration or health information management
- Master's degree preferred
- Current certification in either the AHIMA or the AAPC as an RHIA, RHIT, CCS, or CPC required
- Minimum 2 years leadership experience (may consider exceptionally qualified Sr. Coder, Auditor, or Educator with Project Management experience)
- 5+ years of coding experience in ICD-10 CM/PCS, CPT, and HCPCS.
- Must be proficient in inpatient/outpatient coding guidelines
- Experience with Optum and Epic
- Knowledge of DRG, APC, and CPT/HCPCS
Living in Honolulu
Honolulu offers a rare balance of career impact and lifestyle.
- A vibrant urban center with world-class dining and culture
- Ocean and mountain access within minutes
- Year-round outdoor living
- Strong public and private schools
- Direct flights to the mainland
For someone who values purpose in their work and balance in their life, Hawaii offers a truly unique opportunity.
