What is perioperative informatics?

Perioperative informatics refers to the integration and management of health information technology systems to support patient care before, during, and after surgical procedures. Professionals in this field ensure that electronic health records, surgical scheduling, and data analytics are effectively used to improve patient outcomes and workflow efficiency in perioperative settings. They work closely with clinicians, IT staff, and administrators to streamline documentation, enhance communication, and support decision-making with accurate data. This role is essential for advancing patient safety, quality of care, and operational performance in surgical environments.

How does a perioperative informatics professional typically collaborate with surgical teams and IT departments?

Perioperative Informatics professionals serve as a vital bridge between clinical staff in the surgical suite and the hospital’s IT teams. They work closely with surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists to understand workflow needs and translate them into effective electronic health record (EHR) solutions. Regular tasks include facilitating system updates, troubleshooting informatics issues during procedures, and training staff on new technologies. This role often requires strong communication skills and the ability to balance clinical priorities with technical requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a perioperative informatics specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Perioperative Informatics Specialist, you need a background in nursing or healthcare, experience in perioperative environments, and knowledge of health informatics principles. Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs), perioperative documentation systems, and relevant certifications such as CNOR or informatics credentials are typically required. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for this position. These competencies are vital to ensure accurate data management, seamless workflows, and enhanced patient safety in surgical settings.

What is the difference between Perioperative Informatics vs Surgical Technologist?

Job description

Overview
We are seeking a Perioperative Operations Coordinator to join our team at UnityPoint Health! The System Perioperative Operations Coordinator safeguards the accuracy and integrity of surgical supply and implant charges across all UnityPoint Health perioperative sites. Working at the intersection of Epic (OpTime/Cupid), the supply chain ERP system, and perioperative clinical operations, the role identifies and corrects charge, supply-record, and implant-documentation errors before they affect revenue, the patient record, or compliance. The role recognizes when a supply or implant record change alters the clinical meaning of a documented device, traces the downstream impact through Epic usage and charge records, coordinates corrections with site informatics teams system-wide, and recovers missed and over-stated charges through structured daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly audits. This is a data- and systems-driven charge-integrity function requiring deep Epic fluency and perioperative product knowledge, distinct from Epic application build and configuration. The position reports to the System Director, Perioperative Operations, and serves as a system-level bridge connecting supply-chain and charge activity to perioperative operational and financial performance.
Hours: Monday-Friday, standard business hours
Location: Remote - applicants preferably reside within the UnityPoint Health footprint of Iowa, Illinois, or Wisconsin

  • Conducts routine audits (daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly) of surgical supply and implant charges across all perioperative sites to ensure accuracy and compliance
  • Reviews cost-change and item master updates, validates changes against the electronic health record and supply chain ERP source data, and determines whether discrepancies reflect valid updates or system errors
  • Analyzes and reconciles usage reports, including historical data back to item creation, to assess downstream charge impact
  • Reviews implant description and classification changes to evaluate whether clinical meaning or billing implications have been altered. Identifies and corrects inaccurate records by updating the surgical log and issuing operative note addenda, ensuring required surgeon co-signatures are obtained
  • Collaborates with site informatics teams to coordinate and track corrections, ensuring alignment between the patient record, surgical documentation, and associated charges
  • Performs monthly audits of special-units billing for HCPCS-coded items requiring unit-based charges (e.g., cm2, mL, mg), with a focus on high-cost implants such as skin substitutes
  • Interprets manufacturer specifications to determine accurate billable units, identifies under- and over-charging, documents audit findings, and tracks site-level confirmation and resolution of corrections
  • Audits newly created supply records to ensure accuracy of charge codes, HCPCS assignment, and pricing prior to activation

Operational Support:
  • Serves as the system-wide point of contact for supply and implant charge inquiries, denials, and correction requests
  • Submits, monitors, and follows through on supply maintenance requests (e.g., WebTMA) to ensure timely and accurate resolution
  • Supports the System Director of Perioperative Operations by analyzing and linking supply, charge, and clinical documentation data to operational and financial performance
  • Represents perioperative clinical and operational requirements in enterprise system implementations and upgrades affecting supply, charge, and documentation workflows
  • Contributes to system-wide perioperative operations, charge integrity initiatives, and analytical efforts as assigned
  • May provide support to adjacent procedural areas (e.g., cath lab, imaging) and participate in related initiatives such as preference card accuracy and optimization, adapting to evolving system needs and priorities

Issue Resolution:
  • Collaborates with Charge Master, Revenue Cycle, Supply Chain, and site Informatics teams to resolve issues
  • Advocates for and acts as an agent of change within the organization and identifies opportunities for improvement
  • Provides effective and timely communication of issue status to key stakeholders

Qualifications

  • Preferred: Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, healthcare informatics, health information management, or a related field.

Experience:

Must be able to navigate supply and implant records, build and run reports (e.g., Reporting Workbench, SLR implant usage reports), correct surgical logs, and issue operative note addenda at the data and charge level. This is a data- and charge-level requirement, not application build or configuration.
  • Required: Demonstrated working knowledge of the perioperative environment, including surgical supplies, implants, instrumentation, and operative documentation. Sufficient to recognize when a change to an implant record alters the clinical meaning of the device documented. This knowledge may be acquired through direct operating room clinical experience or through sustained support of perioperative clinical and supply systems.
  • Required: Experience with supply chain ERP systems and their interface to the electronic health record, including how supply records, charge codes, and item master changes propagate to charge capture and clinical documentation.
  • Preferred: Experience with charge integrity, revenue integrity, charge capture, or charge master functions.
  • Preferred: Demonstrated experience auditing or reconciling clinical, supply, or charge data across multiple facilities.

Licenses/Certifications:
