Remote Health Informatics Coordinator

Job Overview

Virelia Health connects healthcare professionals with opportunities across health informatics, clinical data governance, and healthcare technology operations.

We are seeking qualified Health Informatics Coordinators for remote opportunities supporting health systems, ambulatory groups, value-based care organizations, and healthcare technology companies.

A Remote Health Informatics Coordinator supports healthcare organizations by coordinating informatics projects, supporting clinical data governance, coordinating informatics workflows, and supporting health informatics operations. Working alongside clinical informatics teams, IT teams, and clinical leadership, the coordinator helps ensure that informatics initiatives are well-organized, well-documented, and aligned with clinical and operational priorities.

This is a health informatics coordination role. It's distinct from clinical informatics LPN roles — health informatics coordination focuses on coordinating informatics projects and operations rather than providing clinical informatics support. It's also distinct from clinical workflow analysis — the informatics coordinator supports the operational and project coordination side of informatics rather than mapping workflows. The role combines informatics knowledge, project coordination, data governance support, and stakeholder coordination.

This position is well-suited to someone with health informatics, clinical data governance, healthcare technology operations, or clinical informatics support experience who enjoys coordinating informatics initiatives and supporting governance work.

The specific healthcare organization, informatics program, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.

This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote health informatics coordinator jobs, clinical informatics coordinator, work-from-home informatics project coordinator, remote data governance coordinator, or health informatics operations coordinator roles.

What You'll Do

As a Remote Health Informatics Coordinator, you may support healthcare organizations across the full informatics coordination lifecycle.

• Coordinate informatics projects — schedules, deliverables, documentation, and stakeholder communication.
• Support clinical data governance activities — committee coordination, documentation, and follow-up on data governance decisions.
• Coordinate informatics workflow support — scheduling, documentation, and follow-up on informatics requests.
• Maintain informatics project documentation, decision logs, and status reports.
• Support informatics governance meetings — agendas, minutes, action items, and follow-up.
• Coordinate with clinical, IT, and informatics stakeholders on project priorities and dependencies.
• Support clinical data quality initiatives — documentation, tracking, and coordination with data stewards.
• Support informatics policy and procedure documentation.
• Coordinate informatics training and communication activities.
• Support informatics reporting — project status, governance metrics, and operational dashboards.
• Maintain informatics intake processes — tracking requests and routing to the appropriate team.
• Escalate informatics issues with potential clinical impact to the appropriate leadership immediately.
• Document informatics decisions, assumptions, and rationale for audit and future reference.
• Participate in informatics team meetings, governance reviews, and process improvement activities.
• Protect patient privacy and maintain HIPAA compliance across all informatics coordination activities.

Health Informatics Focus

Health informatics coordination is the operational backbone of informatics programs — coordinating projects, supporting data governance, documenting decisions, and keeping informatics work organized. As healthcare organizations invest in informatics, coordinators are essential to making informatics initiatives run smoothly.

Depending on the organization, health informatics coordination may focus on:

The health informatics coordinator's role is to support informatics projects, data governance, and operations within their scope — coordinating, documenting, and following up on informatics work. Clinical decisions, system configuration, and clinical informatics decisions belong to the appropriate clinical and informatics leaders; the coordinator provides the operational and project coordination that keeps informatics work moving.

This structure keeps the role focused on informatics project coordination, governance support, documentation, and appropriate escalation.

Clinical Data Governance Support

Health informatics coordination success depends on rigorous data governance support and clear documentation of informatics decisions and workflows.

You may support clinical data governance by:

• Coordinating data governance committee meetings — agendas, minutes, and action items.
• Documenting data governance decisions, data definitions, and data stewardship assignments.
• Supporting clinical data quality initiatives — tracking issues, documenting resolutions, and coordinating with data stewards.
• Maintaining data governance documentation — policies, procedures, and standards.
• Coordinating with clinical, IT, and informatics stakeholders on data governance priorities.
• Supporting data stewardship activities — documentation, tracking, and follow-up.
• Tracking data governance metrics and reporting on governance activity.
• Escalating data governance issues with potential clinical impact to the appropriate leadership.
• Supporting informatics policy and procedure documentation.

Clear documentation, rigor, and stakeholder coordination are essential — health informatics coordinators are the operational backbone that keeps informatics governance and projects moving.

Health Informatics Coordination Workflow

A Remote Health Informatics Coordinator may follow a structured workflow across each informatics coordination cycle.

Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:

Required Qualifications

• Previous experience in health informatics coordination, clinical data governance, healthcare technology operations, or clinical informatics support.
• Working knowledge of clinical systems, data governance principles, and informatics project coordination.
• Strong organizational, documentation, and stakeholder coordination skills.
• Comfortable coordinating with clinical, IT, and informatics stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

A Typical Day

A typical day may begin by reviewing your informatics coordination work — checking which governance meetings are scheduled, which project deliverables are due, and which action items need follow-up.

You'll coordinate with clinical, IT, and informatics stakeholders on project priorities, prepare agendas and documentation for governance meetings, and follow up on decisions and action items.

Between coordination tasks, you'll document informatics decisions, update project status, support data governance documentation, and prepare reports for informatics leadership.

You'll route incoming informatics requests to the appropriate team, track progress, and escalate any issue with potential patient safety implications immediately.

The role combines informatics project coordination, data governance support, stakeholder coordination, documentation, reporting, and appropriate escalation.

Unlike clinical informatics LPN roles, which provide clinical informatics support at the bedside or in clinical workflows, health informatics coordination focuses on the operational and project side of informatics — you're helping informatics programs run smoothly so clinical teams can focus on care.
