Overview

Altocare is seeking a Healthcare Data Coordinator to support the collection, verification, analysis, and reporting of operational and outcomes data across the organization. This entry-level role is well suited for an analytical, detail-oriented professional looking to build a career in healthcare operations and data analysis. The position helps ensure the accuracy and completeness of information across internal systems while supporting leadership with insights that improve operational performance, decision-making, and client outcomes. The ideal candidate will be strong in Excel.

The Healthcare Data Coordinator will work daily with multiple internal teams and external stakeholders across both Senior Helpers and MedTec Healthcare to gather information, verify records, review data for accuracy, and help identify trends or opportunities for improvement. This role requires strong attention to detail, sound judgment, effective communication, and the ability to work independently while managing assigned responsibilities and competing priorities. Because this role regularly involves access to Protected Health Information (PHI), the Coordinator must maintain strict confidentiality and comply with all HIPAA requirements and Altocare privacy policies at all times.

Key Responsibilities

• Contact Altocare offices, clients, family members, payors, or providers to verify and obtain information needed to complete client records.
• Gather, compile, and validate operational and outcomes data from internal systems and external sources, identifying missing or inconsistent data related to client outcomes (hospitalizations, service interruptions, terminations of care).
• Review information across internal systems to ensure data is accurately captured and aligned between platforms.
• Analyze collected data to identify discrepancies, trends, operational risks, and opportunities for improvement.
• Prepare and present summaries, reports, and presentations outlining findings and key insights for internal leadership and stakeholders.
• Utilize Microsoft Office applications to organize, analyze, and report on data.
• Use approved productivity and AI-assisted tools to improve efficiency, while independently verifying accuracy.
• Prioritize and manage multiple assignments while consistently meeting deadlines, proactively flagging questions or potential issues to supervisors.
• Maintain compliance with HIPAA requirements and Altocare privacy policies in all data handling.
• Assist with additional data, reporting, or operational projects as responsibilities evolve.

Qualifications

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and the ability to learn new software platforms (including EMR systems) quickly.
• Bachelor's degree preferred or currently in progress.
• Well suited for individuals beginning their careers in healthcare administration, data analytics, business operations, or related fields.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify inconsistencies or gaps in information.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy and thorough review before submission.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with comfort speaking professionally with clients, family members, providers, payors, and internal teams.
• Comfort using AI-assisted productivity tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) for non-PHI tasks, with a clear understanding of data privacy boundaries.
• Understanding of, or willingness to be trained on, HIPAA requirements and confidentiality obligations related to handling PHI.
