Healthcare Coordinator Jobs in Portland, OR

A Healthcare Coordinator, also known as a Health Services Manager, plays a pivotal role in health care administration. Their duties span across various domains such as overseeing the delivery of healthcare services, managing hospital budgets and finances, ensuring adherence to healthcare laws and regulations, and improving the efficiency and quality of healthcare services. They act as a bridge between the healthcare staff and the patients, and are responsible for coordinating all aspects of health services, which include patient admissions, patient care, and even post-treatment follow-ups.

For this role, having excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills are crucial. In addition, possessing in-depth knowledge of healthcare laws, regulations, and technology is indispensable. Most employers prefer candidates with a bachelor's degree in health administration, although a master's degree is often highly appreciated. Certifications like Certified Medical Manager (CMM) or Certified Physician Practice Manager (CPPM) can further enhance their prospects. Prior to becoming a Healthcare Coordinator, an individual might have roles such as a Medical Records Technician, Health Information Technician, or a Clinical Manager.
