Remote Quality Data Coordinator

Job Overview

Virelia Health connects healthcare professionals with opportunities across quality data coordination, digital quality programs, and population health outreach.

We are seeking qualified Quality Data Coordinators for remote opportunities supporting health plans, value-based care organizations, health systems, and population health programs.

A Remote Quality Data Coordinator supports healthcare quality programs by tracking quality data, coordinating care gap outreach, supporting quality reporting, and helping quality teams close gaps and improve performance. Working alongside quality analysts, population health teams, and member outreach teams, the quality data coordinator helps translate quality data into member action.

This is a quality data coordination role. Quality data coordinators track quality metrics, identify care gaps, coordinate member outreach, and support quality reporting — they do not provide clinical advice, interpret clinical data diagnostically, or make clinical decisions. Their focus is on quality data tracking and outreach coordination that supports quality improvement.

This position is well-suited to someone with healthcare quality, quality data, or population health experience who wants to support quality programs without pursuing a clinical career path.

The specific quality program, population served, technology platform, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.

This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote quality data coordinator jobs, virtual quality data coordinator, work-from-home quality data coordinator, remote HEDIS data coordinator, or population health data coordinator jobs roles.

What You'll Do

As a Remote Quality Data Coordinator, you may support quality data across a range of coordination activities.

• Track quality metrics and care gap data across assigned populations.
• Review quality data reports to identify care gaps requiring outreach.
• Coordinate member outreach for care gap closure including screenings, wellness visits, and chronic care follow-ups.
• Support quality reporting to payers, regulators, and quality organizations.
• Coordinate with population health teams on outreach prioritization.
• Track outreach outcomes and care gap closure progress in quality data systems.
• Support HEDIS data collection and validation activities.
• Coordinate with clinical teams on quality improvement initiatives.
• Document quality data activities, outreach, and outcomes accurately.
• Support care gap closure reporting and quality performance tracking.
• Coordinate with member services, care management, and provider offices on quality data needs.
• Support quality data quality review and improvement.
• Escalate clinical questions, member concerns, or urgent situations to the appropriate clinical team.
• Participate in quality team meetings, calibration sessions, and quality improvement activities.
• Protect member privacy and maintain HIPAA compliance across all quality data interactions.

Quality Data Coordination Focus

Quality data coordination is a critical part of healthcare quality programs — tracking metrics, identifying care gaps, and coordinating member outreach that closes gaps and improves performance. Remote quality data coordinators help quality programs operate efficiently.

Depending on the program, quality data coordination may focus on:

The quality data coordinator's role is non-clinical and data-focused — tracking quality data, coordinating outreach, and supporting quality reporting. Quality data coordinators do not provide clinical advice, interpret clinical data diagnostically, or make clinical decisions. Any clinical question or member concern is escalated to the appropriate clinical team immediately.

This structure keeps the role focused on quality data tracking, care gap coordination, outreach support, documentation, and appropriate escalation.

Member Outreach & Care Gap Coordination

Quality data coordination success depends on strong member communication and reliable outreach follow-through — quality data only matters if members actually close their care gaps.

You may support members by:

• Contacting members with care gaps by phone or secure message.
• Explaining the importance of recommended screenings or follow-up visits.
• Helping members understand what to expect from recommended care.
• Coordinating scheduling with provider offices and care teams.
• Supporting members in overcoming barriers to care access.
• Following up with members who need additional outreach.
• Documenting outreach activities and outcomes accurately.
• Coordinating interpreter services or transportation resources when needed.
• Connecting members to community and health plan resources.
• Escalating member concerns or clinical questions to the appropriate team.

Clear communication, empathy, and reliable follow-through are essential — quality data coordinators often play a key role in helping members access the care they need.

Quality Data Workflow

A Remote Quality Data Coordinator may follow a structured workflow across each reporting cycle or outreach campaign.

Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:

A Typical Day

A typical day may begin by reviewing your quality data queue — care gap reports, outreach lists, and tracking tasks from the prior day.

You'll work through each item systematically — reviewing quality data to identify care gaps, coordinating member outreach for screenings and follow-up visits, and tracking outreach outcomes in quality data systems.

Between outreach calls, you'll document member contacts accurately, coordinate with provider offices and care teams on scheduling, and support quality reporting activities.

If any member reports a clinical question or concern, you'll escalate it to the appropriate clinical team immediately.

The role combines quality data tracking, care gap coordination, member outreach, documentation, and appropriate escalation.

Unlike clinical quality roles or data analysis roles, quality data coordination is operational and member-facing — you're helping quality programs close gaps by coordinating outreach and tracking outcomes.

Why Consider Remote Quality Data Coordination?
