- Monitor evolving healthcare regulations, accreditation standards, payer requirements, and funding requirements, helping leaders understand and proactively respond to changes.
- Oversee internal compliance audits, risk monitoring, corrective action plans, and efforts to strengthen organizational controls.
- Provide leadership and oversight of Health Information Management (HIM) through the HIM Manager, including documentation governance, medical record compliance, release of information, and record retention.
- Guide enterprise policy development and governance while partnering with leaders across the organization on new programs, services, and operational initiatives.
What You'll Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration, law, health information management, or a related field; Master’s degree or JD preferred.
- At least 5 years of experience in healthcare compliance, privacy, or HIM, including 3 years in a leadership role.
- Strong knowledge of healthcare regulations, HIPAA, HITECH, privacy requirements, accreditation standards, and HIM best practices.
- Experience leading Joint Commission, HRSA, FQHC, CCBHC, CMHC, or similar healthcare accreditation and regulatory surveys, enterprise compliance programs within integrated healthcare organizations, or Health Information Management functions is highly valued.
- Professional certification such as CHC, CHPC, CHPS, RHIA, RHIT, or similar is preferred.
At Valley Oaks Health, strong compliance is more than checking boxes—it helps us protect the people we serve, support our teams, and provide high-quality care with integrity. If you are a collaborative leader who can build strong partnerships across the organization while helping us stay prepared for what’s ahead, we want to hear from you!.
